When you actually feel good, do you share what got you there with everyone you know?  I certainly do and that’s why I can’t to share with you the best gluten free supplements out there!

Since you know how important feeling healthy is to me, I want to let you in on my secret weapon for the past five months — Nutrasumma Supplements.

Now before you think… “gosh, is this some sort of paid promotion?”  No, it’s not.  Nutrasumma hasn’t paid me anything nor twisted my arm to share about my stellar experience with their company.

They did reach out to me in the late spring and sent me some samples to try. From the moment I opened the box to discover every single product clearly marked Gluten-Free, I was impressed (as per my picture to the right).

The big question was – would the supplements work? Being mindful to the power of suggestion and the placebo effect, I experimented slowly and intelligently over the course of several months so that I’d be able to literally feel a difference using them.

The Best Gluten Free Supplements

I did not become a fan of the company overnight simply because they shipped me a care-package… I fell in love with Nutrasumma because after giving their products time to work and talking with the company, I actually felt better.

Some of my daily favorites are:

• Pea Protein powder which is vegan as well as gluten-free & soy-free.  It incorporates very well with liquids (even water) and is low in both sugar and carbs.  I’ve had chocolate and vanilla, and both flavors are equally delicious.  I’ll usually add either a cup of frozen strawberries or my latest favorite combo is the Chocolate Pea Protein powder with 1 cup of frozen pear.  It’s so incredibly good!!!

• Ginkgo Complex has become my go-to supplement to keep my brain on track.  I’ve experienced a real boost of focus and clear-headedness that has allowed me to noticeably increase my productivity.  Since I don’t do well with swallowing pills, I simply open the capsule and pour the powdered contents into my smoothie… and no, you can’t taste it!

• Amino Clear (BCAAs) is what I believe to be my secret weapon for working out, but not getting so sore afterwards that you doing things like walking up and down stairs becomes challenging.  It’s also helped me improve my recovery time.  I take it after a Crossfit workout in an 8-oz glass of water so that my muscles will get the materials they need to rebuild.

Good Ingredients & Safe Manufacturing Practices

Using ingredients that are up to the highest standards and qualities, Nutrasumma uses strict manufacturing practices to make sure that there’s no risk of cross contamination from other allergens.  There’s no sharing of equipment for the gluten-free products and the very few that do contain gluten. and they are glad to answer any question or concern you throw their way.

Another plus for me is that they avoid using any GMO crops in their products!  As you know, genetically modified organisms are cheap and companies will use them to keep their bottom line low.  Like I said, Nutrasumma has stepped up to the supplement plate and is taking their role in the wellness world (and especially when it comes to the gluten-free community) seriously.

I’d love to say that real whole food is enough, but that’s sadly not always true given the depleted state of soil and nutrient quality in food.  Plus other health issues (like gluten sensitivity, leaky gut, celiac disease, etc.) can leave you at a nutritional disadvantage.  That’s why I use supplements as part of my nutritional arsenal (and they’ve helped me tremendously).

But before you run out to your local health food store, know that not all supplements are the same. You definitely get what you pay for, and when it comes to gluten hiding in them?  It’s a real possibility since supplements aren’t covered under the new FDA Gluten-Free Labeling rules. Ultimately, you’ve got to find reputable companies that truly do care about your need to be gluten-free… and fortunately Nutrasumma is one!
