I'm a pretty healthy person. I try to eat vegetables on the daily, get at least 3 workouts in a week, and pay attention to the demands of my body. That's why I was confused, and mildly offended, when my older sister suggested I try Made For_, a new personalized daily vitamin pack that she was using to get her prenatals. Did my skin suddenly age? Was I deficient in some secret nutrient I had never heard of? After a barrage of questions, my sister assured me that I looked perfectly fine; but it wasn't until she started Made For_ that she realized how much supplements can help boost performance, mood, stress levels, and overall wellness on a daily basis. She reminded me that I travel often for work, struggle to sleep, and eat a vegetarian diet—all reasons to look into how to promote and maintain my health with Made For_. I was still pretty skeptical since I'd never needed supplements in my life before, but I'll admit my sister looked absolutely glowing despite being in her 7th month, so I decided to at least look into it.
Made For_ starts their vitamin personalization with a short quiz, which was nice for me because I didn't have to commit right away. Taking the quiz, I realized there were a bunch of things I wasn't getting enough of (like vitamin D) and even some minor things that I wanted to improve on (like feeling less bloated during travel or more energetic during the work day). I had no idea that there were so many supplements, and that they could address issues that I had thought were just part of the wear and tear of living life. Is it possible that I wasn't in fact feeling as great as I could be?
After completing the quiz, Made For_ recommended I add 4 daily vitamins to my regimen: a probiotic for digestion, Zinc for my immune system when I travel, magnesium for sleep and stress relief, and B-12 to make up for a lack in my meat-free diet. I felt more educated on what different vitamins and herbal supplements can do, but still unsure. Would I need to walk around with 4 big bottles? My sister informed me that this wasn't the case, since Made For_ sends you small packs that include all of your supplements for the day. They take up no space and are easy to pack away in a suitcase. I guess I had no excuses, so went for the 14-day trial.
I got my personalized trial vitamin pack the day before a big work trip overseas, and was easily able to put enough packs in my makeup bag to last me the entire week. I figured now was as good a time as any to see if they'd make a difference, especially since I usually feel pretty bad when I travel and even a few days after coming back home. I committed to at least the full week, but once I got home I knew that I would be using Made For_long-term. Not only did I feel less foggy from the time change, but I hadn't experienced insomnia or poor digestion the entire week! The change was subtle, but I was noticeably more energetic and less stressed, all thanks to just 4 small supplements added to my daily routine. I wasn't struggling before, but I knew feeling at my healthiest and highest potential was definitely a feeling I could get used to.
Thanks to Made For_, I have fewer days when I'm feeling "blah" and way more days when I'm feeling great. Whether or not you consider yourself a reasonably healthy person, there's the right combination of daily vitamins and herbal supplements out there for all of us. The way I see it, who wouldn't want more days feeling your best?
