Rise Supplement Guide

There’s no magic pill that will have you drop body fat and build muscle, but there are ways you can help improve your overall nutrition to help with your fitness goals.

Ideally we would like our clients to get everything they need through whole food, but most people struggle to get enough protein, vitamins, minerals, fiber, etc. on a daily basis.

So one of the easiest ways to improve not only your fitness results, but your health as well, is to supplement where needed.

However, not all supplements are created equal. A recent study came out showing that out of the top 30 immune boosting supplements on Amazon, 17 had inaccurate labels, 13 had ingredients listed that were not in the formula, and 9 had included ingredients that were not listed on the label.

Unfortunately, this happens far too often as the supplement industry is not regulated by the FDA. That is why we highly recommend that you only get supplements that are Third Party Tested to prove accuracy of what is in the product matches with the label and that there are no toxic ingredients. Just like all of our Rise Supplements.

Below is a simple guide of the only supplements that we recommend that are proven by research to be effective.

Protein Powder

The hardest thing for almost every client we work with is making sure they get enough protein in their daily nutrition. This is typically very difficult to do with food alone and that is why a Protein supplement can make your life so much easier to not only help you recover from your training sessions, but also to help build & maintain your muscle mass. This is also key to making sure your weight loss comes from body fat and not muscle mass.

Unless you are lactose intolerant or have other dietary needs or restrictions, we recommend using a Whey Protein. Otherwise a Plant-based Protein Powder is fine.

Omega-3/Fish Oil

Unless you’re eating wild caught fish at least 3x/week, a Fish Oil supplement is a must. Rich in DHA and EPA, two powerful fats responsible for things like: increased metabolic rate, improved fat burning, and reducing our risk for a host of diseases (cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes).

Creatine

One of the most researched supplements in the world. We believe continual, low dose, creatine supplementation may be important for good health as well as athletic performance. While creatine has been discussed in the athletic context quite extensively, it has some amazing regenerative effects on all tissues of the body including brain.  3-5g per day is recommended.
