True or False: Nootropics Make You Smarter
Let’s take a dive into the science behind nootropics, and evaluate exactly how they can boost your cognitive performance.
The duo designed to help you manage your daily stress.
Living a healthy lifestyle requires a balance of a healthy diet, good sleeping habits, and regular exercise. Many of us sacrifice at least one of these areas of our health to make room for our busy lives. Daily Boost is a combination of our Daily Adrenal Support and Daily Turmeric supplements designed to help you manage your daily stress so that you can have more energy, and perform at your best.
Taking these two supplements together can help you destress your adrenal glands and support a healthy response to inflammatory reaction in your body. Keep reading to find out how you can maximize your results when taking Daily Boost. We’ll also answer some common questions we receive about these supplements and provide you with some lifestyle habits to adopt for better overall health.
Both our Daily Turmeric and Daily Adrenal Support supplements are designed to be taken along with healthy habits. You can potentially interfere with the results of the supplements if you continue to live a high-stress lifestyle and eat a lot of sugary and processed foods.
We recommend sleeping at least seven hours per night to get the most benefits from Daily Boost. Sleeping less than seven hours can have negative impacts on your health, and could affect your energy levels.1
The active ingredient in turmeric called curcumin is fat-soluble. To absorb the most of this powerful antioxidant, you may want to eat it with a fat source.2 We recommend eating Daily Turmeric on an empty stomach once per day with a food that contains healthy fat such as avocado or olives. Taking it on an empty stomach helps reduce competition with other nutrients for absorption.
Our Daily Adrenal Support contains a mix of herbs that help you relax and feel calmer. Some herbs may cause stomach discomfort if you take them on an empty stomach. We recommend that you take 1-2 capsules per day with food.
To summarize, to get the most out of these two supplements aim to do the following:
The time of day that you take Daily Turmeric doesn’t matter as much as how full your stomach is. As we mentioned, it’s best to take it on an empty stomach to reduce competition with other nutrients.
You can take Daily Adrenal Support any time of day. Taking it in the morning may help you feel relaxed throughout the day. However, some people have noted feeling drowsy after taking the herb Ashwagandha. If you notice feeling sleepy after taking it, you may want to take Daily Adrenal Support in the evenings instead.
It’s a good idea to take Daily Boost with a source of fat such as one of the following:
We also recommend taking Daily Adrenal Support with a meal. Some herbs may cause stomach discomfort, so eating it with food helps reduce your chances of this happening. Daily Adrenal Support contains a blend of 13 ingredients, so it’s also a good idea to take it at a time you’re not taking any other herbs or supplements that could compete with them.
There’s no evidence suggesting that carbonation should affect your absorption of either supplement in Daily Boost.
However, there’s some evidence suggesting that regular soda consumption may negatively affect your bone density, but more research is needed.6 Many carbonated beverages are also filled with sugar or artificial sweeteners that may have negative effects on your health. You may want to avoid most carbonated drinks to lower your intake of these harmful substances.
As we’ve already mentioned, we recommend taking turmeric with a fat source since curcumin is fat-soluble. Taking turmeric with water alone won’t allow your body to optimally absorb the curcumin. If you decide to take it with water, you may also want to take it with one of the fat sources we listed above.
We also don’t recommend taking Daily Boost or other caffeinated drinks. High amounts of caffeine spikes your stress hormones cortisol.3 Increasing your cortisol levels is counterproductive to taking Daily Adrenal Support, which aims to decrease your stress levels.
Taking Daily Boost with a smoothie that includes a small amount of fat is a great way to take both Daily Turmeric and Daily Adrenal Support. Including vegetables, protein, and fruits in your smoothie can further help you fight against stress. 4,5
One study found that the best temperature to store curcumin at is 81 degrees, or about room temperature.7 There’s no need to refrigerate Daily Turmeric, but you may want to keep it out damp conditions or direct sunlight.
None of the ingredients in Daily Adrenal Support need refrigeration either. However, it’s also a good idea to keep it out of the sun or moisture.
Probiotic supplements such as our Daily Probiotic make a great addition to our Daily Boost mix. New research shows that turmeric may act as a prebiotic fiber for probiotic bacteria to feed on.8 Taking turmeric along with your probiotics may amplify the immune-boosting and digestive benefits of probiotics.
You can buy a combination of our Daily Boost and Daily Probiotic supplement together in our Daily Bundle.
Another great supplement to add to your supplement stack is omega 3s. One of the fatty acids in omega 3s, Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is critical for fighting worry and hopelessness.9 Research shows that turmeric may increase levels of DHA in your brain.10 The omega 3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) can also aid in lowering inflammation throughout your body.11
Some of the herbs in Daily Adrenal Support may not be suitable for people with some pre-existing health conditions.
People who should consult a doctor before taking Daily Boost include the following:
