    Understanding the drawbacks of caffeine

    Enter Care/of. They provide a personalized, high quality vitamin plan in convenient daily packs, at a price point that's under $2 a day. It’s truly a game-changer.

    I recently tried Care/of for 30 days. Here's a few of the reasons why it's my new gold standard for a supplement provider.

    Most of my clients know that supplements can support their health - whether it's better energy, gut health, stress or skin - but it can be hard to know where to start. Care/of takes out the confusion of knowing which supplements to take by doing this work for you.

    You take a short, 5-minute quiz on their website and get personalized recommendations based on your health goals, diet, and the latest research on supplement efficacy. To say it was easy is an understatement.

    1. Vitamin B12 is necessary for cells to produce energy

    Vitamin B12 is responsible for forming red blood cells, which transport oxygen in the blood throughout the body. Once the oxygen arrives to your body’s cells, it is utilized for energy production. Vitamin B12 also plays an important role in neurological function. According to guidance published by the National Institute of Health in 2016, if you don’t consume enough vitamin B12 in your diet, you will be at a greater risk of fatigue, weakness, or weight loss.

    Vegetarians and vegans are likely to be low on vitamin B12, since it is most commonly found in fish, meat, eggs, dairy, and many fortified foods. Older adults, or people with digestive disorders like Crohn’s disease, are also at risk for a deficiency because they are less capable of absorbing the B12 they consume.

    If you are feeling fatigued, eating foods rich in vitamin B12 or taking a supplement might just improve your energy levels.

    My personalized packs contained adaptogens for stress and immune support, a probiotic blend for gut health, and B-complex vitamins and vitamin D in their proper biological forms (this is key for vitamins to actually be effective).

    The easy guidance of the quiz and the convenience of the daily packs is fantastic, reducing overwhelm and those clunky pill bottles! But what impressed me most about Care/of is their high quality standards. It’s my mission to provide truthful guidance, so I will be the first to say that both the food and supplement industries rarely harbor integrity. Yet Care/of puts quality front and center.

    Care/of's protein option

    My recommendations also included protein powder, which you can easily customize based on protein type and flavor preference. Care/of doesn’t use any strange fillers or artificial sweeteners, a unique aspect of their quality I haven’t seen in most powders on the market. You can choose between high quality whey or plant protein.
