When I began making my protein shakes I looked for supplements that could help boost their nutritional power. My mother suggested Udo's Oil. I looked it up on the internet. Available in most health food and grocery stores, Udo's Choice Oil Blend is a mix of Omega 3, 6 and 9 varieties of essential fatty acid sources.

All About Udo's Oil...

Udo Erasmus is the creator of Udo's Oil. In 1980, he was poisoned by pesticides. This inspired him to research nutrition, the essential fat specifically, as a means of healing. Within three years, his research led him to experiment with the pressing and packaging of fresh oils. He had discovered that light, heat and oxygen were oil's enemy. Those three factors lead to a long shelf life but did not yield a healthy product. In the end, he developed Udo's Oil.

Benefits of Udo's Oil

An extensive study in Denmark was performed on 41 active males and females. The participants ranged in age from 16 to 62 and ingested Udo's Oil for 8 weeks with no changes to their diet. The study found that their generally well-being was improved in many ways. Most of the participants reported increased quality of sleep, better concentration, significantly increased energy and stamina, slight mood elevation, better skin quality and an increase in lean muscle mass and decreased body fat. These are points that Udo Erasmus has been making for years when talking about his own research.

How I Use Udo's Oil

The Udo's Oil website recommends 1tbsp per day at first. Once adjusted, gradually increase your dose to 1tbsp for every 50 pounds of body weight per day. Udo's Oil is mild. It tastes nutty and is easy to take on its own. I like to mix it into my salad dressing, smoothies and shakes. Check out one of my favorite recipes for salad/pasta dressing:

I have been using Udo's Oil and protein shakes since August and have more energy, decreased appetite, softer, less dry skin and I feel amazing.
