What should you pay attention to when you want to start supplementing?
5 frequently asked questions answered
You hear people around you talking about supplements – and you wonder: do I need this? Does it really work? And what should I look out for? Logical questions. Because if you are going to invest in your health, you want to do it right. In this blog we answer the 5 most frequently asked questions if you want to start with supplementation. So that you can start confidently, consciously and purposefully.
1. What is a good reason to start taking supplements?
Every person is unique, everyone has their own expectations and goals and every body functions in its own way. You may notice that your energy level is lower, you have to make more effort to enjoy things or to stay energetic during the day, your focus has become less sharp, you notice the first signs of aging in your skin, your joints or your vitality, you are consciously or unconsciously looking for balance, a healthy basis, something that helps you to be able to do or feel things normally again.
Supplementation can help you provide that support, protect you and help you recover. Supplements are always intended as an addition to your daily routine and not as a replacement for healthy food, for example. The results can be visible and/or noticeable quickly, often the most optimal functioning of the supplement requires a longer period of time to experience the benefits and sometimes the results are less visible, but your body benefits greatly from the daily supplement to continue to function properly.
You can ask yourself what the purpose is for wanting to use a supplement, what do you expect it to bring you or what (vague) complaints do you experience that you would like to get rid of? This can determine the type of supplement you will use.
2. What is more important: what's in it, or how much is in it?
Both are crucial. A high-dose supplement sounds appealing, but the quality of the active ingredients is just as important as the quantity. It's about bioavailability : can your body absorb and use it well?
Take KIMAIA Algae Omega , a 100% plant-based omega-3 supplement derived from pure algae oil. With a high dosage of DHA (40%) and EPA (20%). This is about the source → where does the omega-3 come from? and about the amount → how much of the active substance is present in it?
Another example of this is The Beauty Formula of KIMAIA . These are 2 collagen formulas, the Valley glow based on beef and the Ocean glow based on fish. Both formulas contain vitamins and minerals that promote the functioning of the collagen supplement, for a good functioning, in addition to the quality of each ingredient, the dosage of the active ingredients is also of great importance.
The Body Formula of KIMAIA is more than a protein shake. The balanced amino acid profile including the essential BCAAs is supplemented with Acetyl-L-Carnitine and CLA, a 3-in-1 formula that provides powerful support after physical exertion, helps with muscle recovery and weight management. Not just any protein shake, but a carefully composed formula to achieve only the best results.
3. What if I am skeptical about supplements?
That is understandable, the supply is large and not every jar in the store is of high quality. This is exactly why KIMAIA was created, we want the supplement you use to actually give the result you may expect. The choice for quality always comes first and every ingredient processed in the formulas has been added for a reason.
Our products are carefully developed from the belief that health starts with awareness and balance . a conscious choice for:
transparent and carefully composed formulas
high-quality raw materials of controlled origin
clear and substantiated information
We believe in quality, because your body deserves it.
4. How do I know which supplement I need?
For what purpose do you want to use a supplement? Is it as a basis for your overall health, support of the body, recovery after physical exertion or a radiant skin, shiny hair and/or strong nails? What is your lifestyle? Do you already use supplements and/or medication? Have you perhaps used supplements in the past and do you want something similar or completely different? In short: what suits you and what are you looking for?
The range of different types of supplements is large, this is already in the store and also certainly online with all the influencers on social media. The golden tip is: stay with yourself, what feels good and dare to choose what helps you further. Afterwards it is easier to say whether something has helped you or not, unfortunately one size fits all does not exist and sometimes it is just a matter of trying it out.
KIMAIA has divided its supplements into three categories that can all be used side by side. The Body, Beauty and Base formula.
The Base formula: an omega 3 supplement that is completely plant-based and suitable as a daily basis for the functioning of the brain, heart and vitality.
The Beauty formula: 2 collagen supplements, each with their own character, with the power from within, you can shine from the outside!
The Body formula: 2 protein supplements of which the vegan vitality is completely vegan. By adding Acetyl-L-Carinitine and CLA more than just a protein.
