B4BC’s firsthand experience with LivOn Labs supplements has positively impacted our lives. We’re launching a 5-part blog series to share helpful information and education about what makes these particular supplements so beneficial as well as additional insights. This is part 3:
REDUCING STRESS, SUPPORTING ABSORPTION, AND FUELING AN ACTIVE LIFE
A lot of the foods we all eat every day, which include everything in a ‘package,’ fall into the category of ‘ultra-processed foods’. These are snacks, sugary cereals, fast food, flavoured yogurts, frozen meals, protein and granola bars, chips, energy drinks and sodas. While convenient and often really yummy, these foods are stripped of much of their natural nutrition and loaded with lots of (fake) sugars, unhealthy fats, excess salt, and artificial ingredients. Over time, they can crowd out the nutrient-rich whole foods that our bodies (including our guts and digestive system) were designed to thrive on.
The challenge isn’t just that ultra-processed foods contain fewer nutrients; it’s also that they can make it harder for your body to absorb and use the healthy nutrients you actually consume. They may disrupt gut health, increase inflammation (in more places than one!), and reduce the fibre and digestive support needed for optimal absorption. The result? You can be eating plenty of food yet still struggle to get enough of important nutrients like magnesium, calcium, iron, B vitamins, and vitamin C. Supporting your gut with more whole foods, hydration, and targeted supplementation when needed can help your body get more from the foods you eat.
At B4BC, we’re always looking for simple ways to lower stress, reduce inflammation, and practice what we preach when it comes to living a healthy, active lifestyle. Between work, family, travel, events and everything in between, it isn’t always easy to get optimal nutrition from food alone, even when we are eating as healthy as we can!
That’s why we love liposomal supplements. Liposomal delivery protects nutrients during digestion and supports absorption by delivering them to the cells, especially helpful when digestion, inflammation, or a busy lifestyle may be working against us. It’s not something to replace our food nutrients, but to add to our already intentional and healthy lifestyles. They’re easy to take on the go and fit seamlessly into our daily routines.
Our favourite brand is LivOn Labs, the company that owns the patent on liposomal supplements and makes it simple to give our bodies what they need wherever life takes us — with no added sugar or artificial sweeteners.
