Supplements on The Paleo Diet

I personally used to take a lot of supplements until I realized that they really only help 10%, if that. And most don’t do much at all. I do, however, recommend a few supplements for Paleo Diet that will help you. They are listed as follows:

Whey protein is protein in his purest form and is a good supplement to your daily protein intake. This type of protein isn’t complicated and shouldn’t be too expensive. A simple protein found at GNC or other health food chains should be sufficient.

Vitamin D is an extremely important supplement that we need for a variety of different reasons. It is also very important for your metabolism, and it can help in different areas such as:
• Cancer prevention
• Fertility
• Insulin resistance
• Diabetes
• Cardiovascular disease
• Etc.

The most common way to get vitamin D into your system is through the sun. Yes, sunbathing or sun tanning can be a productive task after all. But, I know that laying out is sometimes impractical, especially for people who work and people who live in places like Seattle where it rains most of the year.

If you can sunbathe 15 to 30 minutes per day, I would try to do that. That is my preferred method if I can fit it in. If you can’t fit that in, you can buy vitamin D supplements which will do just fine. You can find vitamin D at almost any supplement store, as well as Walmart, Target, etc.

Vitamin C is another that I take daily, and you should probably do so too. It has the effect of aiding in weight loss and helps your immune system as well.

Overall, it’s a good vitamin supplement to take when not eating as much fruit. You can find vitamin C at pretty much any drugstore, grocery store, or health food store. Emergen-C packets are also great. Quick, easy, and delicious. You can find these almost anywhere.

We have already established that Omega-3 fats are extremely beneficial for your body, and how it is important to get the correct amount. But getting enough Omega-3 fats might be difficult with just raw foods.

There are usually two varieties of fish oils – pharmaceutical grade or normal. If you can afford pharmaceutical grade, go with that; however, if you’re tight on money, or on a budget, get a medium-priced fish oil.
