I get asked all the time if I take any supplements and if I do, what do I take.  I spent a lot of time researching different companies in order to find a supplement that would meet a few of my criteria.

First on my list for a multi is that it needed to be plant based/ vegan.

Secondly, I wanted to find a company that didn’t overload their supplements with unnecessary ingredients or massive doses of vitamins and minerals.  I wanted to find a supplement with just the right amounts of the few things that are truly hard to get on any diet.  I didn’t want any of the extra, just simple, safe, and effective.

I receive dozens of emails daily from different supplement companies, wanting me to promote their products.  This is something that I have never been comfortable with so I have never taken that sort of arrangement on.  I want to honor the relationship I have with all of you and the level of trust you have in me.  So when it came to finding a supplement, I wanted to do it on my own and find something I felt great about.  I wanted to feel good about the supplement I was going to be taking and giving to my family.

So after hours of research, I came across a supplement called Complement. They are a vegan supplement company that produces clean, sustainable products that are free of fillers, sweeteners, and other unwanted junk.  And the best part….their multi has only a few basic essentials and none of the massive unnecessary doses of all the other “stuff.”

A major bonus to purchasing from Complement is that they are also a company that is environmentally conscious and gives back.  A portion of their proceeds goes to planting trees and to covering all of the food related costs for the Living with Harmony Shelter. A portion of every purchase goes to planting trees through a partnership with ONE TREE PLANTED.

Complement chooses to bottle their supplements in glass instead of plastic and they ship in fully recyclable cardboard and paper packaging.  They also started offsetting their emissions by financing forestation and conservation projects through Pachama, which helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and recapture carbon from the atmosphere.

The dosage for an adult is 3 capsules a day so that is what I have done and continue to do every single day.  Every Morning I take my 3 capsules with my breakfast.  You can take them all at once or spread them out throughout the day.  But I find that it’s easier to just take them all at once.

A few years into my plant based journey I started noticing some serious hair thinning and I had absolutely no idea what was going on.  I was totally confused by this since I was eating the best I had ever eaten in my life!

Now I had struggled with some hair thinning before going plant based and when I switched my diet over, my hair thinning disappeared.  So I thought that my plant based diet had solved that problem.  However after a few years I started seeing the hair thinning show up again. This time I started doing some serious research.

I found that Zinc, Selenium, and Magnesium are extremely important for hair, skin, and nail health.  I also found out how important adequate iodine intake is for a healthy thyroid which greatly impacts your hair!

Now I know I have a lot of hair even when it was thinning but there’s nothing scarier than seeing a very sparse patch start to appear on your scalp! This motivated my research for an adequate supplement which led me to find Complement, and I’m so grateful I did!

After taking Complement for a few months I started noticing a ton of new hair growth! The sparse patch quickly filled back in and the hair thinning I had been experiencing quickly resolved.  Now I can’t say that this will resolve your hair thinning because hair thinning can have so many other causes, but for me…I seemed to be lacking a few essential nutrients that I am now getting enough of with my daily supplement.
