“Super Seven” Nutrition Supplements

Endorsed by and written by Ben Greenfield

I am often asked what my “Top Recommended Supplements” are. Sometimes the question is vague (i.e. overall health) and sometimes it is more specific (i.e. burn fat fast). But it is probably the most common question I receive. That’s understandable.

Ever walked in a health club, gym or supplement outlet and been hounded by what seems like eight thousand “fat loss” labels staring back at you? Or some supplement with thirty ingredients designed to “shed fat and build lean muscle”? Or an article in the newspaper that basically tells you “nothing at all works, just exercise harder”?

Having worked for over a decade with thousands of people from across the planet, I realize that everybody’s nutritional and dietary needs are vastly different. Because everybody’s body is different.

BUT, there are a handful of supplements (SEVEN, as a matter of fact) that I actually do recommend, across the board, for everybody. These specific supplements will ensure that your body operates at peak capacity with maximum fat burning, optimized physical performance, laser focus, enhanced mental clarity, and a bulletproof immune system. In other words, if you were headed to a stranded desert island, these are the supplements you’d want to take along. My “Super-Seven”, if you will. Anything else is just icing on the cake. Here they are (and yes, I take them all).

1. Mediterranean Oil of Oregano (Origanum Vulgare Essential Oil)

I know you’ve probably never heard of it, but you can read more on my website listed at the end of this article. I just put a few drops under my tongue every night before bed, and also put a couple drops in a glass of water if I have to drink out a hotel room water tap or think I’ve eaten something that might be contaminated, like funny tasting meat at a restaurant. I also use it as an immune system booster along with Enerprime (#3 on the list) before and after I get on an airplane. It is mixed in a very unique and

highly effective and absorbable 7:1 almond:oregano oil ratio, and the version of this oil that I use is 75% carvacrol, the primary indicator of quality. It even comes with a laboratory certificate of analysis, which the “fake” stuff at the grocery store doesn’t give you. It is enormously effective in quickly eliminating yeast or fungal problems that lead to fat gain, eczema, acne, poor performance, and chronic fatigue. It can stop bad bugs in their tracks. It is also an incredibly rich source of iron and calcium, and can also be used as a topical anti-inflammatory, anti-septic, and anti-fungal.

2. Delta-E

This is an all-natural energy booster powder that you simply mix with a few ounces of water (but sometimes I just pour a packet into my mouth and let the energy hit me righ away!).
It includes healthy doses of the most bio-available form of B vitamin, taurine for giving you physical energy, trace amounts of caffeine to stimulate the central nervous system, and L-theanine to increase dopamine production in the brain and give you happy energy (incidentally, with zero chance of a “crash”). I use this stuff as a pre-workout energy boost, I use it before triathlons, and I use it as an alternative to commercial energy drinks to bring me out of an afternoon “slump”. Way healthier than coffee (basically I have one cup of coffee in the morning, then I have this in the afternoon).

3. EnerPrime Superfood Supplement

EnerPrime is basically like having ten salads for breakfast. It is a unique blend of ground-up vegetables, superfoods, adaptogens, antioxidants, phytonutrients, herbs, enzymes and micronutrients, over thirty of them that are too numerous for me to list here, but that you can read more about below. I put one teaspoon of the powder in a glass of water before breakfast every morning, which is basically the equivalent of six capsules. For the healthiest cocktail on the face of the planet, I actually mix the teaspoon of this with 1 packet of the Delta-E (listed above). This offers an enormous benefit for enhanced immune system and increased physical and mental performance, and I haven’t been sick in the 2

years since I started taking EnerPrime. I also crack open 1 capsule and put it into my baby’s food to help them get the powerful nutrients.

4. Lean Factor

LeanFactor is a proprietary formula with a synergistic blend of ingredients important or thyroid function and the addition of lean muscle tissue. The way that I like to explain it is that Lean Factor is for people who have too much fat and not enough lean muscle, or for people who have sluggish metabolism and low energy levels. Many of my fat loss clients or bodybuilders combine it with ThermoFactor (the next supplement down) for maximum fat loss shedding and lean muscle toning results, and I take it when I need to lose weight, fast.

5. ThermoFactor

ThermoFactor is a synergistic formula that successfully addresses major issues associated with weight gain, or a resistance to weight loss. Its ingredients provide powerful metabolic-boosting support and help control the appetite and blood sugar balance. So if you have carbohydrate cravings because you just started a diet (or you just like candy!) or if you have problems with your appetite getting out of control, then this can help quite a bit, especially if you combine it with Lean Factor (the supplement mentioned above). If I’ve been having trouble with snacking at night, I take 1 capsule one hour prior to dinner, and my cravings melt away.

6. EnerEFA

Ever heard of fish oil? This is basically the non-animal, non-”fishy tasting” alternative. EnerEFA contains a well-balanced combination of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids in convenient capsule form. These powerful nutrients cannot be produced by the body and must be included in our
diet. The oils in these capsules assist your body in maintaining a healthy immune system, proper hormonal balance and a strong heart. Critical for
healthy joint function, prostate health and youthful moisturized skin, and in one study, people who took omega-3 fatty acids and did nothing
else “extra” lost 2 pounds of fat in 3 weeks. Interestingly, it is also great for developing healthy brains, and I break a capsule open and rub it into my kid’s feet before bed at night.!

7. ProstÉlan

OK, last one, and this is for you guys out there (although it has some really good effects for females as well). This synergestic formula includes a powerful flower pollen extract, clinically proven in Europe and Japan to promote prostate health and reduce inflammation, especially useful for male cyclists and triathletes, people who exercise frequently, or an older male population who worries about things like difficulty urinating or erectile dysfunction. It gives quicker and more comprehensive results than the usual nutritional choices such as saw palmetto or pygeum. ProstÉlan is rich in important anti-inflammatory nutrients for men, and I’m especially careful to take a couple capsules after a hard workout or when I’ve been riding a bicycle alot! Ladies, if you want the urinary tract infection prevention properties and the benefits of the super-food pollen extract included in this supplements, just take 2 a day- but also give it to your father, boyfriend, or husband for prevention of naturally occurring prostate issues. They’ll owe you for life.

So I know that sometimes people have questions about this type of stuff (nutrition supplements, pills, capsules, etc.), and whether it interferes with medications they’re taking, whether it is really “for them”, which ones are the best for their needs, when is the ideal time to take it in correlation to a meal, and so on. So, I’d like to offer you the opportunity to e-mail and just ask if you have any questions!

The fact is that most of us really aren’t getting everything that we need from food, and even though real food is a great natural source of nutrients, sometimes our goals go over and above the limitations that food can offer. When it comes to taking care of your body, prevention and preparation are key and each of the supplements listed above arms you with exactly what you need to optimize wellness.
