If you walked into one of our Lindberg Nutrition retail stores with the goal of getting healthier, we’d suggest using products from the three nutrition categories below. Whether you’re a bodybuilder or a grandmother, these foundational products will help you achieve optimal health. Make it your priority to take a good multi-vitamin, whey protein, flax and fish oil.
Multi-vitamin
Getting all the nutrients your body needs is easy with a multi-vitamin formula. Lindberg Mega One 1-per-day is a solid formula that gives you high potencies of just about every vitamin and mineral except calcium and magnesium. To upgrade to a more potent formula, try the Lindberg Varsity Pack 2 or the Pink Pack for Women. Each contains healthy amounts of all minerals, including calcium and magnesium, in an 8 or 9-capsule-per-day formula. Varsity 2 also comes in convenient powder formula.
Whey Protein
One serving per day of whey protein concentrate provides 25 grams of high quality protein with minimal carbs and fat. That’s equal to the protein in a 4-egg breakfast without the fat. It’s ideal between meals, after workouts or as the foundation for a meal. Larger 5-pound sizes are typically more economical, reducing your cost per day. Upgrade to a whey isolate if you are seeking a fat-free and lactose-free product. Designer Whey by Next Proteins or WheyFit Concentrate by Fitness Labs are two popular choices.
Flaxseed & Fish Oil
Everyone—even kids—should take 1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil and at least 1 fish oil softgel a day. Flaxseed and certain fish oils supply the body with important omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s play a critical role in the health of your skin, joints, cell membrane structure, and cardiovascular and nervous systems. Flaxseed oil has 5 times more omega-3s than any other oil. It is a rich source of the omega-3 fat, alpha linolenic acid, which cannot be manufactured by your body and must come from your diet. Fish oils including cod liver oil, provides two other essential omega-3 fats, EPA and DHA. Barlean’s Cod Liver Oil or Lindberg Organic Flax Oil are two good liquid sources of fish and flax oil. Or if you prefer capsule formulas, try Fitness Labs Omega-3 Fish Oil Concentrate.
