‘Balance’ Your Mind & Body with Chemistry Natural Science Daily Supplements
Supplements have become an important part of managing our health and well-being. No matter how balanced your diet may be, it can be difficult to get all the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients our body needs through diet alone. Busy lifestyles, limited nutrition know-how, and modern dietary preferences are just a few of the reasons most of us are in need of nutrient supplementation.
Fortunately, getting it all can be as easy as enjoying a delicious drink. Local wellness brand, Chemistry Natural Science is making things easier for South Africans with good-quality supplementation options that are results-driven and easy to use. The brand is keeping things simple with just two powdered supplement products designed to fill in those gaps in our nutrition.
For beautiful skin from the inside out, choose ‘Plump’ — an all-in-one antioxidant berry blend, formulated with 29 ingredients this superfood blend helps to restore your gut microbiome, reduce inflammation and fight free radicals that cause disease and premature ageing. For a mental boost, choose ‘Balance’ — a potent alkalizing green and adaptogen blend formulated to nourish your body, lightly suppress your appetite, and stabilise your mood. Both powder supplements can be consumed as a delicious drink on their own or added to a smoothie, porridge, yoghurt, or juice.
According to the team behind Chemistry Natural Science, Gut Health is the cornerstone of all the brand’s products with both formulations containing prebiotics and digestive enzymes. Prebiotics are added to stimulate the growth of good bacteria in your gut and support the microbiome. Maintaining a healthy balance of microflora helps to reduce inflammation, IBS, constipation, bloating, respiratory tract infection and more. The digestive enzymes are great for helping to support immune function, joint health, improve your mood, decrease muscle stiffness caused by high-intensity exercise, and combat inflammation.
I’ve recently added Chemistry Natural Science Balance to my morning routine to help aid focus and boost muscle recovery. Adaptogens help to sharpen short-term focus, improve cognitive health and regulate your mood, keeping you calm and focused to face the day. The adaptogen blend in Balance is formulated with clinically studied compounds so you know you’re getting the best scientific research has to offer.
The blend also includes compounds to help improve your energy levels, reduce bloating, support joint mobility, and relieve muscle stiffness after hard workouts. With my current training schedule, anything that can help keep my body operating optimally is a win for me. My workouts consist of a lot of resistance training and high-intensity workouts, so quick recovery is key. Adding Balance to my morning routine has helped to boost my recovery further and improve my energy levels throughout the day.
Key Ingredients in Chemistry Natural Science Balance include 2+ Billion CFU Probiotics, 5 Digestive Enzymes, Prebiotics, 10+ Adaptogen Blend, Sceletium Extract, Spirulina and Graviola Leaf Powder, Collagen Peptides. I love that the blend contains so many scientifically proven compounds in one product – it’s the ultimate convenience product because you’re able to get your daily probiotics, adaptogens, collagen, and a variety of superfoods in one serving, saving you time and money.
It’s a powerful superfood blend, so it can take your body some time to get used to. Some may find the initial dose a bit too strong and experience bloating or queasiness at first, but after 2 weeks of using the product your gut should adjust and become accustomed to the ingredients in the blend.
I’d recommend starting at a half dose serving (7g) for the first 2 weeks to help avoid bloating and to ease your gut into it. After the initial 2 weeks you can start introducing the other half serving with your dinner. By splitting the dose, you will give your body time to adjust to the powerful adaptogens (Sceletium and Mushrooms) and give your gut time to prime.
After 2 weeks you should be able to take a full dose on an empty stomach with no side effects. Most importantly, please read the label for Contra-Indications, Balance cannot be taken if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking heart medication or SSRIs.
The great thing about this supplement is that you’ll start feeling the results of the adaptogen blend as quickly as 20 mins after taking the product for the first time. Its other benefits aside, the supplement has proven to be such a helpful tool for focus when I really need to tackle looming deadlines. You should experience all the other benefits within 2 to 6 weeks of taking the product, so give your body time to settle into it wait for the benefits to kick in.
I also love that I can take the supplement with peace of mind knowing that the brand is dedicated to formulating ‘clean’ supplements with no harmful chemicals, fillers, or added sugars — just 100% natural ingredients. The formulations are backed by clinical trials, so you know you’re getting a results-driven blend with ingredients proven to work.
I used the product for just over a month and was really happy with the early results. I’ve noticed a marked difference in my energy levels and focus and I’m excited to keep using it to truly reap the benefits of the other ingredients. The benefits of most supplements can only be seen from 6 – 8 weeks, sometimes longer, of taking the product.
If you’re looking for a high-quality supplement that can help tackle a wide variety of health concerns at once, then this is a great option. For added benefits, consider adding Chemistry Natural Science to your routine as well. The two supplements were designed to complement each other and can be combined for improved results.
Balance is available online directly from Chemistry Natural Science as well as from select stockists at R675 for 375g (25 x 15g servings).
