Why I Use These Clean Ingredient Supplements

Improving my health lifestyle has been a continuing process the last 12 months, and will be for a lifetime. Along with adding whole organic foods to my diet, I thought it would be helpful to share why I use these clean ingredient supplements.

Why I Use These Clean Ingredient Supplements

Because my daughter told me to.

Just kidding!

Kind of. 😉

My daughter WAS the first person to introduce me to the “clean” eating and the whole “crunchy living thing”. For quite some time, I implemented a couple of her suggestions, but, for the most part, I covertly respectfully gently ignored her nudges.

Okay, I didn’t really ignore her… I made excuses.🙄

Then the Lord brought me to New Life Promise (NLP). With the education I received from the program and Isabel Price, my daughter’s tips and advice began to flourish.

So today, I thought I would share with you the clean ingredient supplements I use, and why I use them. There might even be a couple ‘bonus’ health items that are shared along the way.

AND, hold onto your hats (or plug your ears), I’m going to be a wee bit transparent, as well.

Can’t say I didn’t warn you!

But First… Another “Warning”

Why Should I Choose Clean Ingredient Supplements?

The list of supplements I’m sharing will also include the purpose of each supplement in my daily life. Some might be a little shocking!

But here are some reasons that you may want to consider when choosing a clean ingredient supplement vs. a conventional supplement:

• Fewer to No Harmful Additives – Clean supplements skip the artificial colors, preservatives, and fillers that can be harsh on your body and may cause unwanted side effects.
• Better Absorption – High-quality, natural ingredients are often more bioavailable, meaning your body can absorb and use them more effectively.
• Fewer Allergens & Sensitivities – Many conventional supplements contain common allergens like gluten, soy, or dairy, while clean supplements are often free from these irritants.
• No Hidden Toxins – Some mass-market supplements may contain traces of pesticides, heavy metals, or GMOs. Clean ingredient supplements prioritize purity and transparency.
• Supports Overall Wellness – Choosing natural, responsibly sourced ingredients helps support long-term health without unnecessary chemicals that could disrupt your system.

Now, with those thoughts in mind, let me share with you the supplements I use and why I take them.

Daily Clean Ingredient Supplements and Why I Use Them

LiveSmart OmegaPURE

LiveSmart OmegaPURE is an essential daily Omega-3 fish oil supplement.

Because our diets often contain too much Omega-6 (which is an inflammatory), we often experience aches and pains throughout our bodies. Omega-3s are anti-inflammatories, which we need to balance out Omega-6s in our diet. We often cannot get enough Omega-3s in our diets, so using a supplement is helpful.

Since starting LS OmegaPURE, I have experienced a drastic reduction in soreness and inflammation in my back, knees, and more.

Omega-3s can also support metabolism, reduce risks of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, and enhance skin, hair, nails, and eye health.

Oh… and by the way, there is no fishy smell or taste with OmegaPURE… even when I burp! (I said I was going to be transparent!)

Be sure to visit the homepage of OmegaPURE to learn even more interesting info on Omega 3s.

Jamieson Turmeric

Using a high absorption turmeric can be super helpful in relieving joint pain, improving memory, lowering cholesterol, and so much more.

The key to turmeric working in your system is the dosage and strength. How do I know this?

Because my sister did a boatload of research regarding turmeric when my mom was using it under our care. The sweet-spot-dosage that is effective, according to what she read in research papers, is 3K-4K mg a day. It’s also helpful for absorption to take a turmeric with black pepper.

Jamieson Turmeric with black pepper is my go-to-brand. The 4K mg seems to be a good dosage for me, but, as with everything, be aware of how your body reacts to it. Some people note having tummy issues, which has never happened to me (I always take turmeric with food).

From my experience, Jamieson Turmeric really works. Along with LS OmegaPURE (as well as a healthy eating lifestyle), my joint paint is almost nil.

LiveSmart Energize

LiveSmart Energize is an essential daily greens powder supplement.

By adding a scoop of LS Energize to my morning smoothie, oatmeal, or even just a cup of cold water with a splash of lemon juice, I experience more energy, a more efficient metabolism, and less cravings (it REALLY helps with cravings)… plus a whole lot more!

The taste varies, depending on the manufacturer that is being used by LiveSmart. The ingredients are the same, but at times you can really taste the ‘greens’, and other times you can actually taste banana (I prefer the ‘green’ taste). When added to my breakfast of choice, you can’t taste it at all, except for a bit of sweetness from the small amount of stevia included in the blend.

One more benefit that I have had with this product. (Get ready for more transparency…) I have struggled with chronic body odor since puberty (that’s a LOT of years). When I take this product on a regular basis, my “stink” completely disappears. I believe this is because it contains a high amount of the natural body deodorizer, alfalfa.

Okay… I said it… now let’s move on, shall we?

To learn more about the three little known superfoods that are included in the LS Engerize canister, be sure to visit the homepage of LiveSmart Energize. It’s a real eye-opener!

Magnesium… Oxide and Glycinate

Okay… here’s a bit more of that transparency I was telling you about.

Since going through menopause, I’ve had an on-and-off relationship with… constipation.😣

And, as many people will attest to, when you change your diet, whether for the good or bad, we can often experience the same thing!

So, when I started the NLP program, I definitely experienced more issues with my digestive tract.

That’s when my daughter told me about NBPure magO7 and Designs for Health Magnesium Glycinate Complex.

magO7 is a magnesium oxide that works wonders, OVERNIGHT!!!

I kid you not!

Before bed, if you take three of the magO7 pills on an empty stomach with at least 8 ounces of water, the next morning, the “floodgates will open”! And, for me (and my daughter), there has not been any bloating or cramping with this product. (Just be sure to not have plans in the morning. It takes about two hours (on-and-off) in the morning to be completely clear for your daily plans. If I’m up at 6am, I’m good to go to work at 8am for a 9am shift.)

DH Magnesium Glycinate Complex helps with daily regularity.

Taking magnesium glycinate helps with my digestive system on a daily basis.

At bed time, I take two pills on an empty stomach with 8 ounces of water, and this helps my system to stay balanced through the week. I take oxide for when I feel I need a little more ‘flushing’… literally!

Oh, and another GREAT benefit of magnesium oxide and glycinate? It helps with relaxation and sleep!

Both magO7 and DH Magnesium Glycinate Complex are extremely trusted brands in the ‘clean ingredient’ sector as they contain natural and quality ingredients.

Helpful Supplements I Take When Needed

The following supplements work well for me on an ‘as needed basis’. However, I could (should) be taking several of these on a daily basis, but I just can’t afford to do that.

HemRid Max

This, my friends, has been a life-saver for me!

As if I haven’t been transparent enough, I’m gonna embarrass myself some more.

But, I want to share because I know this is a normal issue that happens with lots of people, and HemRid Max is a miracle-worker (at least for me), so I want to let others know so they might experience the same relief.

When I first started working at Hobby Lobby in October of 2024 as a cashier, I was standing at the register 6-7 hours a day, 5 days a week, with very little walking involved. I hadn’t worked retail since I was a teenager, and the hours, plus standing in one place for hours, kicked my bum. Again, literally.

One night, I woke up to use the restroom and realized that I had hemorrhoids! I know… it’s not a pretty word, nor is it a pretty situation… but it is reality for many of us.

Quitting my job was not an option, so I started with the regular remedies I had used when I first experienced the problem for a short time during menopause… hot compresses, ibuprofen, ointment, more hot compresses, and magnesium sitz baths.

Nothing worked!

This time, the issue went on for over 3 weeks, and I started looking into supplements that might help.

That’s when I discovered HemRid Max!

*Cue the angels singing!*

After reading reviews on Amazon for HemRid Max, and seeing that all the ingredients were a concoction of natural ingredients, I decided to give it a try.

Three pills with food in the morning, and after three days I thought, “I think I feel a difference…”.

By the fifth day, the issue was gone!

I continued to take three pills a day for three weeks, and then I decided to go down to one pill a day until I was done with the 90 capsule bottle. My hemorrhoids have not returned!

Now, these supplements don’t always work for everyone the same way. And, sometimes, they don’t work at all. But, if you experience this issue, isn’t it worth a try? It was definitely worth it for me!

Quercetin

Quercetin is something I SHOULD take daily, but I usually start taking it if I feel a cold/flu coming on, or if I’ve been exposed to something similar.

Quercetin (pronounced KWER-suh-tin) is a natural plant compound — it’s part of a group called flavonoids, which are found in fruits, veggies, and even tea and wine.

Some of the benefits you may experience from Quercetin (and I, personally, have experienced these):

• Fights oxidative stress: It helps protect your cells from damage caused by everyday life, pollution, and even stress.
• Supports the immune system: It may help your immune system stay strong and balanced. It has definitely helped me fight the cold/flu.
• Anti-Inflammatory: Quercetin has natural anti-inflammatory effects. That’s great because inflammation is at the root of many chronic diseases, like heart problems or joint pain.
• There are more benefits to Quercetin… Google it if you want to know more!

Colloidal Silver

Because I was exposed to Influenza A by my daughter and her family after their new baby was born, I decided to do all the things to fight getting the horrible virus myself.

Along with Quercetin, I took a teaspoon of Triquetra Colloidal Silver (30 ppm), each day. And, actually, I took it twice a day for the first week following my exposure to the virus, just to give it a good kick-in.

The quality and potency of Triquetra Colloidal Silver has a great reputation, and, I’m happy to say, I never caught the virus.

Oh… you might be wondering if I was vaccinated. I haven’t been vaccinated for the flu for many, many years. I stopped taking it because every time I would get the shot, I would catch the flu!

Black Elderberry Syrup

Again, this is a supplement that can be taken every day, in a syrup or a capsule form.

The Gaia Herbs Black Elderberry Syrup (Extra Strength) is a trusted product in the natural health industry, tastes yummy, and seems to really help me get over colds quickly. It has also contributed to me staying well when exposed to viruses. It’s great for the kids, too!

Liquid D3

Garden of Life Organics Vegan D3 is also a supplement I take to ward off colds and heal quickly.

Bonus Wellness Products

I thought I would list a few more wellness items I use that work really well for me!

Active Skin Repair

Though this is much pricier than an antibiotic ointment, Active Skin Repair heals VERY quickly and with natural ingredients. No fear of becoming immune to a topical antibiotic with this product. Comes in spray for kids and babies, as well!

Boka Teeth Whitening Toothpaste

Boka Teeth Whitening Toothpaste really does help to whiten and keep teeth whiter. It’s made with safe, non-toxic ingredients, and is free from fluoride, sulfates, parabens, artificial flavors and colors. Their innovative formula using Nano Hydroxyapatite (NHA) actually aids in the remineralization of your teeth.

Primally Pure Deodorant

Remember that ‘stinky issue’ I referred to above? Well, for quite some time I have been looking for a natural deodorant that really works. I’ve tried several, and Primally Pure Deodorant REALLY works! It’s pricey, but I use very little and one container lasts me about 4 months. (I use every bit of it by scooping out the last dregs with my fingers and rubbing it on. 😉 ) Geranium is my favorite scent, but I want to try the Blue Tansy, as well!

Primally Pure Skin Care

Again, Primally Pure Skin Care is pricey, but it contains clean ingredients, and a little goes a long way! They work really well, too! I’ve had no reaction to their products, and I have very sensitive skin.

The products I use are:

• Normal Skin Cleansing Oil
• Plumping Bar
• Clarifying Mist
• Plumping Serum

Badger Sunscreen for Face and Body

This past year, I went through a little medical scare when my dermatologist did a biopsy on a spot on my neck. It came back benign, praise God, but she also ended up removing several pre-cancerous spots.

She let me know I needed to wear sunscreen every day on my face, neck, chest, and back of my neck. My daughter quickly informed me that Badger Face 30 was the safest product to use. With 80% organic ingredients, this is the best facial sunscreen I have found. Their daily sunscreen is also recommended, with 90% organic ingredients.

There are several other products I use, as well, but I think I’ll save those for another post. Suffice to say, these are the ones I use the most, and have had great results, as well!
