As you may know, sales of One World Whey have been suspended due to a label error, and we’ve been getting lots of questions about our recommendations for substitutes. Luckily, Horizon Health Shop has a lot of great options when it comes to protein powders. If you’re missing your whey fix, we’ve got you covered with our top-three favorite protein powders:

Vital Whey

Great if you used One World Whey for: Immune-building, amino acid supplementation (including Glutathione) and antioxidants

Vital Whey is a grass-fed, non-denatured bioactive whey protein. This whey is minimally processed, so it retains all of the immune-building regenerative components found in fresh raw milk. Since this protein source is from whey, it contains all of the essential amino acids, including Glutathione, to help with detox and regeneration. One 20g scoop of Vital Whey contains 15 grams of protein and 2 grams of sugars. It’s available in two sizes (a 2.5-pound bag and a 21 oz jar) and three great-tasting flavors: Cocoa, Vanilla and Natural

• If you were using One World Whey to boost your Glutathione levels, our ReadiSorb Liposomal Glutathione is a powerful supplement containing more than 400 mg of bioactive Glutathione per serving.
• If you were using One World Whey to add amino acids to your diet, our Balanced Amino Maintenance (BAM) Powder from Metabolic Maintenance contains free-form amino acids in ratios that scientists consider to be the most perfect protein found in nature.

Metabolic Detox Complete is a vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free blend of pea, rice and hemp proteins that also contains medium-chain triglycerides, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids, including N-Acetyl Cysteine, a precursor to Glutathione that facilitates liver detoxification and fights free-radicals. Each two-scoop serving of Metabolic Detox Complete contains 21g of protein, 8g of fiber and only 3g of sugars, making this a great snack or meal-replacement even if you’re not on an elimination diet.

Feeling constantly tired? Having a hard time losing weight? Stuck in a brain fog? While everyone deals with these symptoms at least some of the time, exhibiting them all the time may be a sign of an underactive thyroid, or hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid doesn’t make enough thyroid hormones, and can be caused by goiters, Hashimoto’s disease or aging. Symptoms include weight gain, sensitivity to cold, thinning hair, dry skin and depression.

While it’s important to see your doctor to get a blood test done in order to determine if you have hypothyroidism, you may still be feeling the symptoms of a sluggish thyroid while showing normal hormone levels. If your doctor says your blood tests are normal, you can still naturally boost your thyroid to keep it working at an optimal rate. Here are 4 tips to keep your thyroid up and running:

1. Up Your Iodine Intake: Iodine is the key mineral in thyroid function, and up to 40% of the population is at risk of iodine deficiency. In order to keep your thyroid working, it’s important to incorporate foods rich in iodine into your diet, such as shellfish, saltwater fish, sea vegetables (kombu/kelp, dulse or nori) and iodized salt. Low-fat dairy is also another great source of iodine. There are also iodine supplements, such as Iodoral, which provide iodine when diet can’t cover it alone.

2. Avoid Thyroid-Blocking Foods: Goitrogens are foods that contain chemicals which lower your thyroid’s ability to produce hormones. These include cruciferous vegetables—such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts and kale—peaches, almonds, pears and spinach. While cooking these foods deactivates the goitrogens contained in them, it’s recommended that those with hypothyroidism limit their intake to once or twice a week.

3. Exercise: Exercise provides many huge benefits, as we all know, but it also helps maintain your thyroid function. A daily walk or run can help boost thyroid production, but at least 3 workouts a week is needed to see real improvement.

4. Natural Thyroid Supplements: While only your doctor can put you on a prescription thyroid medication if you have hypothyroidism, there are many natural thyroid supplements which can help your thyroid perform at its optimal rate, even if your hormone levels are normal on a blood test. Thyroid Care by Innate Response is a synergistic combination of nutrients, herbs, and trace mineral-rich foods that strengthen thyroid function naturally. Thyroid Complex from Transformation Enzymes is a formulation of thyroid gland concentrate and essential herbs to promote a balanced metabolic activity level and the regenerative capabilities of the thyroid. Medix4Life’s Thyroid formulation is an advanced stem cell product that supports intercellular communication and tissue regeneration of the thyroid.
