This blog is a few weeks overdue but we launched Bowmar Nutrition PRE during the week of the Arnold and then 10 days later took our top performing BN athletes of 2018 on a cruise!
It's safe to say we have tried several dozen different pre workouts on the market- both stimulant based and non stimulant based
We have been using pre workout for almost a decade and started taking notes of what we liked and what we would improve on
In 2019, we formulated the best stimulant based PRE the world has ever seen. On top of it's amazing benefits of a pump pre, it is stimulant based which can help with energy and focus and overall mood. There are also 17 of the most powerful, clinically dosed, ingredients that are proven to improve your workout and recovery. You can order here: https://bowmarnutrition.com/products/pre-workout
In later 2019, we released our line of non-stimulant PRE (removed the caffeine) for those who lift late night or those who have negative side effects of caffeine. That line can be found here: https://bowmarnutrition.com/products/pre-workout-stimulant-freehttps://bowmarnutrition.com/products/pre-workout-stimulant-free
The new question- who needs PRE? No one NEEDS any supplement but our products can help take your workout from a 7 to a 10 which will obviously increase your overall results
When? PRE is best 15-30 minute before your lifting workout. As it is a stimulant based product, taking it directly before cardio only is not recommended. However, taking PRE, lifting, and then doing cardio should be fine
As with every stimulant based product, it is recommend to start slow and work your way up based on your tolerance. And NEVER take more than recommended

Fiber
We introduced Fiber to the Bowmar Nutrition family! Let’s talk about fiber!
Who needs fiber?
Practically every single person on this planet unless you are the perfect amount of fibrous fruits and vegetables that you have grown yourself
Diets that include quality sources of insoluble fiber have been proven to promote regularity and help the body remove toxins from your colon. Diets that include soluble fiber may help heart function and support healthy cholesterol levels. Bowmar Nutrition fiber has both kinds to ensure the best results possible
If you feel bloated or irregular- you should consider supplementing with fiber.
Why ours?
Bowmar Nutrition has formulated this fiber to be the most effective and the best tasting. We use strong flavors to mask the taste and texture of the high quality fiber. We will guarantee you will not find a better tasting fiber on the market
Why ours?

How much?
We recommend having a combination of fiber from your diet and fiber from supplements each day. You should be intaking roughly 14g of fiber for every 1,000 calories you eat
When?
Fiber is the only natural substance that triggers satiety (the feeling of fullness) without having calories. Therefore, taking it in the morning can reduce cravings throughout the day!

No More BC For Me
After almost 15 years on the pill, I decided it was time to stop being a science experiment and just be ME. The hormones in BC were affecting my mood swings, weight gain, ability to have a normal period, sex life, etc. So- it was time to end the dependency of that little pill that I put in my body every single day for almost half my life. As a warning- you should always do your own research and consult with your doctor. I decided to keep a journal of what happened when I stopped cold turkey, so, here we go
Week 1: Like everyone on the pill, you start your weeks on Sundays and your period usually shows up around day 1 or 2 of the brown pill week (off week). I decided to stop taking my pills the Monday before my period week. Wednesday rolls around and I had the worst cramps every, my mood was terrible, and I got my period (almost a week ahead of schedule). I am sure this is completely unrelated, but my breath has been HORRIBLE as well this week
Week 2: The cramps only lasted about 2 days from my period in week 1! I also have ordered a NFP and it is on it's way! The one I ordered can be found HERE. This week I seem to be getting a ton of headaches but have had some really amazing lifts at the gym! I do notice a few more breakouts than usual but we have had a lot of family things happen in the past few weeks so I am not sure if it is from stress or the lack of BC
Week 3: The worst week of all. I will say though- my skin has cleared up and reverted back to normal, my headaches have went away, and I feel more clear. That being said- I have been bleeding for five days straight. And cramping extremely bad. I am still 2 weeks away from what is supposed to be my period, but at this rate- I might need a blood donor
Week 4: No update for this week. Everything went really well. My skin is still clear, my mood is extremely high, my workouts have been better, I feel like I can finally lose weight again, etc!
Month 2: Periods have started to become more normal, however- the ovulation cramps are intense and very painful
Month 3: I seem to be losing fat quicker and gaining muscle much easier. My boobs have felt more sore about my period but that is about it!

Probiotics
Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for you, especially your digestive system. We usually think of these as germs that cause diseases. But your body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are often called "good" or "helpful" bacteria because they help keep your gut healthy. Their job- at the end of the day- is to improve gut health
Who needs them?
Anyone who experiences the following issues:
Who needs them?
Anyone who experiences the following issues:
- Digestive issues like bloating, gas or diarrhea. These are the hallmark symptoms of gut dysfunction
- Sugar cravings
- Bad breath
- Food allergies or sensitivities
- Moodiness, Anxiety and Depression
- Skin problems like eczema
- Diabetes
- Autoimmune disease and suppressed immunity
Why Bowmar Nutrition?
Our product is comprised of 12 different strands of probiotics. Many companies use 1 or 2. Using a dozen strands like we do maintains flora and provides amazing benefits to your body as different strands perform different functions in the body.
It has also been speculated that the strands used in our probiotics can help repair and restore your body's natural gut biome if you drink 1-2 diet sodas a day or other acid beverages

Why do yours smell?
Many companies use chemicals to remove the odor associated with the probiotics. We have decided to keep ours in their truest form

Fish Oil
The who, what, where, why, when, how of fish oil!
There are so many benefits to omegas found in fish oil and if you are not eating fish more than 3 times a week, you need to be supplementing with it!
Fish oil comes from the tissues of oily fish and are basically concentred omega-3 pills. As with all supplements, not all are created equal. Bowmar Nutrition fish oils are purified to remove mercury, our pills are clear (which is why you should look for when looking for a fish oil supplement), you won't get a fishy taste when you use ours (some companies use rancid ingredients and that's why you get the horrible taste), and we do not add any artificial colors or flavors. You can order ours here: https://bowmarnutrition.com/products/fish-oil
Fish oil helps with inflammation (mainly joint inflammation) and arterial inflammation. Fish oils are also amazing for your heart due to their anti-inflammatory properties (reducing your bodies need to build up plague in your arteries).
Fish oils have also been proven to aid in brain and mental health. To read more about these benefits, I recommend visiting: https://draxe.com/fish-oil-benefits-health/

Greens Powder 101
Today's world is busy. I often joke that my brain has too many tabs open, and I know many people can relate to that as well. Convenience is also a huge aspect of our lives which is where our Bowmar Nutrition Greens powder comes in.
Before I delve into the convenience of getting your daily servings of fruits and vegetables in 1/2 TBSP of powder- let me first explain what greens are (in it's most basic definition):
"Greens supplements are veggies, fruits, algaes and/or grasses that have been compacted and distilled into powdered form. They typically contain an assortment of nutrient rich foods like barley grass, wheat grass, spirulina, chlorella, alfalfa, herbs, vegetables, legumes, and fruits"
Does anyone have the time (or desire) to prep 11 servings of fruits and vegetables a day? How about storing them, or buying them, or eating all of that food? I personally have not consumed fruits/veggies for nutrition since 2014. I do enjoy the taste. I don't consume them with the intent to get a ton of nutrition out of them (more on that in a moment). If you were to realistically eat 77 servings of fruits and vegetables a week at even $1/serving which is very conservative- that's $77 / week just for fruits and veggies alone. Let alone all your other foods. For us- doing 1-2 scoops of greens per day mixed into our water is the economical choice ($35 for 100 servings aka 35 cents) and for the convenience. Another reason we consume Bowmar Nutrition green is for the nutritional benefits...
There's a lot of freaking people on this earth. We as a human race are growing exponentially. Guess what isn't growing? Land to farm. Guess what that means? The demand to grow more and more from a single stalk, branch, vine, seed, etc is growing. Let's take corn. The stalk derives the nutrients from the soil and rain to grow. A stalk with 1 ear of corn gives 100% of it's nutrients to that 1 ear. A stalk with 40 ears of corn gives a substantial amount less per ear. More yield = more profit for farmers. We know farmers. We need farmers. We love farmers. But our food is being manipulating to produce more per bushel and more per acre. This means less nutrients in the fruits and vegetables are you buying from the store.
Let's talk about the grocery store. How am I able to buy corn in June yet the corn growing right now all across the corn belt of America is 5 inches high and won't be harvested until fall? How can I eat a banana from Costa Rica that is still green even though it has been sitting on the shelf at the store for 3 days. How does one get strawberries in the winter? Have you ever really sat down and thought about where your food truly comes from? When a banana is picked, it's still green. Very green. And picking the banana means you are cutting off it's lifeline. No more nutrients for Mr. Banana as it travels all the way to Ohio and sits on a shelf and doesn't turn yellow for a week after it was picked. That's horrifying. Even when you THINK you are getting the nutrients you deserve from eating fruits and veggies- chances are, it's not even coming close.

https://www.sunsaferx.com/health-and-wellness/nutrient-levels-produce-decreasing-what-to-do-about-it/
Again, this is where greens come in. The fruits and vegetables used in our greens grow to their fullest potential. They don't have to plucked early to be shipped off to sit on a store shelf to be purchased within a week. The nutrients are extract (hence, extract) and put into powder form for your drinking pleasure. Not only are they extremely low in calorie but they are guaranteed to give you the nutrients that we claim on the container (see "why")
Why Bowmar Nutrition Greens?
Our greens are FDA certified organic which means what we list on the label is actually what is in the product. Not many other companies pay for, and wait for, this certification or classification as it does take quite some time for them to approve the product. However, it's important to us that we take the extra step in making sure you are getting the best product on the market.
Order: https://bowmarnutrition.com/products/greens
Our product is also 100% safe for children! I don't know many kids who even like vegetables to begin with. Mix greens with some sugar free crystal light or koolaid and they will never know the difference!
