We asked her what Haskill Essentials are her favorites...
Thorne | Catalyte Electrolyte. “Electrolytes are an important part of staying hydrated as well as contributing to brain function, muscle control, and nervous system function. This electrolyte by Thorne is comprised of 5 electrolytes, unlike a lot of other brands on the market. I love this product and have been using it for years.” Catalyte Electrolyte
EmerginC | Vitamin C + Retinol Mask. "Great all-natural product that works! Leaves your skin glowing and feeling fresh.” Vitamin C + Retinol Mask
Thorne | NAC (N-Acetylcysteine) “NAC is a powerful antioxidant and is one of my favorites. I use antioxidants regularly due to their numerous health benefits. Antioxidants help scavenge and neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are formed during during normal metabolic processes in the body and if not disposed off can lead to oxidative stress which in turn can accelerate cell damage, protein damage, DNA damage, and the aging process." NAC
Thorne | Stress B Complex. “I used this supplement through both medical degrees and it makes a difference. B vitamins are important for metabolism, cell function, energy, red blood cells health, making neurotransmitters and more. They are water soluble so the body does not store them, and you need to replenish them. This B blend has extra vitamin B5 to help support adrenal and immune function -- the two systems highly impacted by stress..” Stress B Complex
Thorne | D-5000. “High quality vitamin D supplement that I take almost everyday in the winter to help maintain my vitamin D levels. Vitamin D is important for mood, immune function, build strong bones (because you're never too young) and more!” Vitamin D
Thorne | Glucosamine & Chondroitin. "Great supplement I commonly recommend to patients to prevent and reduce symptoms of arthritis.” Glucosamine & Chondroitin
Nutiva | Virgin Coconut Oil. "Coconut oil is a healthy fat that is great for cooking and is full of MCTs and has vitamins and minerals. I prefer cold pressed coconut oils which help to retain more of its vitamins and minerals." Virgin Coconut Oil
Nutiva | Plant Protein Powder. “Great plant based protein powder to help replenish depleted stores after a hard workout, to get all the gains and minimize losses.”

Vibrant Roots | Jun Tea Kombucha. "As an ND, I am all about using food as medicine. Kombucha is a tasty, drink full of probiotics to help maintain healthy gut flora. The gut microbiome is imperative for healthy gut function and immune function."
