In this blog I’ll walk you through some key facts about the Metabolic Maintenance brand and highlight a few of their most popular supplements.

Purity from Start to Finish

Metabolic Maintenance uses third-party testing to test both their raw material and finished products. This is to ensure that all Metabolic Maintenance products are free of preservatives, fillers, binders, artificial ingredients and contain no added excipients. Metabolic Maintenance is also committed to being gluten, dairy, artificial sweetener, dye, and contaminant free. Not stopping with just the ingredients on the label, they also work closely with vendors to make sure that the sourcing of raw materials is performed ethically. Metabolic Maintenance follows these same standards in-house. They are GMP Certified for manufacturing based on cGMP (current good manufacturing practice). Metabolic Maintenance manufactures their supplements every 90 days to ensure that you’re receiving the freshest possible ingredients in your supplements.

Metabolic Maintenance has built a platform based on trust. Their supplements are meant to deliver only the good stuff, none of the extra fillers that can diminish the goodness encapsulated. Metabolic Maintenance offers a number of carefully formulated foundational supplements that can help address holistic concerns. I’ll take you through a few of those, explaining the benefits of each.

Cal/Mag Plus with Vitamin D and K2 MK-7

Cal/Mag Plus with Vitamin D and K2 MK-7 is a powerful quartet. The main goal of this supplement is to deliver calcium to where it should go within the body. This balanced supplement combines the benefits of each component to make this happen. First there’s the basic building block of calcium, with it’s partner magnesium. Magnesium participates in metabolic happenings within your body. Magnesium impacts your bones as it affects the main regulators of calcium homeostasis within your body. In plain English, calcium and magnesium need to balance each other inside and outside of your cells. You can think of them as the yin and yang sign or like a teeter-totter trying to rest in the balanced middle. Studies have shown direct impacts of magnesium deficiency on bone density. If you’d like to read more about the relationship between calcium and magnesium, check out my previous blog post that highlights just that! Vitamins D-3 and K-2 are there to boost the positive effects of these nutrients. Vitamin D in its most active D-3 form plays a role in maximizing the absorption of calcium. Vitamin K-2 aids the proteins that are involved in calcium utilization. This helps direct calcium away from and out of arterial walls and muscle and instead delivers calcium to your bones - where it belongs! Instead of calcifying in your arteries which leads to heart disease. Cal/Mag Plus with Vitamin D and K2 MK-7 helps promote healthy bones, but also aides your nerves, cardiovascular, and muscle function. In turn, you’ll see a more holistic musculoskeletal support. This supplement also helps support healthy relaxation and nighttime sleep!

DIM Complex

Hormones. They can be your greatest support, and your worst enemy. When hormones are out of whack, our bodies suffer. DIM Complex helps support balanced hormonal function as it protects estrogen and its metabolites from oxidative stress. When estrogen is broken down in your body, it can produce a variety of substances, otherwise known as metabolites - some of these metabolites are harmful to the body. DIM (Diindolylmethane) helps break down estrogens and shift the metabolites to be the more beneficial options. This helps to maintain normal estrogen ratios. DIM Complex combines DIM with Calcium D Glucarate, Antioxidant Nutrients, L-Methylfolate, and Vitamin B12. These nutrients bring out the best in each other to bring top tier support to your estrogen balance in both men and women.

Magnesium Glycinate

Magnesium Glycinate boasts a variety of benefits, and rightfully so. Magnesium Glycinate is said to help promote rest, relaxation and balance. Muscle comfort, calm mood, and healthy sleep are all benefits that can be reaped for magnesium glycinate supplementation. Magnesium glycinate is the bioavailable form of magnesium which means that this essential mineral can be more easily absorbed by your body so that you can get more from your supplement. If you’re looking for a catch-all that supports healthy muscle, nerve, and heart function, magnesium glycinate may be a great option for you.

The Big One without Iron

The Big One without Iron is meant to pack key nutrients into a one-per-day multivitamin/mineral. This supplement contains these nutrients at their optimal levels which can offer a great baseline to then explore further supplementation if need be. The Big One gives your body activated B vitamins and trace minerals. Not stopping there, you’ll also find antioxidants, including beta carotene and tocopherols. For those who are avoiding or are sensitive to iron, this supplement is made with you in mind. The Big One is offered with and without Iron as well as in a “Plus” formulation that adds 2,000 IU of Vitamin D-3. A comprehensive multivitamin, this supplement can help create manageable supplementation goals with the once-per-day dosing.

VitalEyes Complete

As we age, vision is often impacted. When we’re able to support our eyesight, we set ourselves up for greater independence in our later years. That is the goal of VitalEyes Complete. Metabolic Maintenance has crafted a formula to displace the effects of overexposure to sunlight and blood sugar dysregulation - two common factors that have been noted as potential detriments to eye health. This multivitamin/mineral formula contains antioxidant protection that is geared toward your visual health. Antioxidants beta-carotene, vitamins C & E, zinc, selenium, CoQ10 and lipoic acid are working to support your ocular and overall health. Lutein, zeaxanthin, and bilberry are three botanicals that are included and support visual function. Lutein and zeaxanthin are found in a blend called Lutemax 2020 which works in the eye to filter blue light and assist in photo-stress recovery.

Zinc Picolinate 30mg 100 cap

Zinc picolinate is one of the most bioavailable forms of zinc that is currently available. Metabolic Maintenance’s Zinc Picolinate adds Vitamin C to the mix to further increase the supplement’s bioavailability. You want your body to be able to access and absorb zinc because it is critical for your immune function, growth, wound healing, and even a healthy DNA structure. One study notes, “Although zinc possesses direct antiviral properties (e.g. influenza), it is also critical in generating both innate and acquired (humoral) antiviral responses”. This means that zinc isn’t only a helpful nutrient on its own but it also encourages other systems in your body to do their job of protecting and supporting you as well. Here is an entire blog post about the benefits and necessity of zinc.
