It's important to read the ingredients when it comes to digestion, gut health and fermented ingredients. Fermented ingredients are hard to find because better quality ingredients cost more to make which means the company will make less of a margin at the end of the day. And let's face it, when it comes to most protein supplements, more about their bottom line than improving health. The lack of quality ingredients at the grocery store and with so many not reading the ingredients - we hav...

Add Fermented Foods to Improve Digestion

Posted on October 24, 2020November 19, 2020 by Drew Taddia

Fermented foods is without question, one of the best ways to improve digestion. Some of my favourite fermented foods include: Kombucha, Sauerkraut, Kimchi and Miso. I choose to make homemade kombucha but there is some great local businesses that produce their own, which in my opinion would be better than a mass produced product. If you are purchasing Sauerkraut make sure it's raw and needs to be stored in the fridge. Kimchi is my favourite of all of these and again I choose to m...

Will CTP give me Gas or Bloating?

Posted on June 21, 2018 by Drew Taddia

We had a great session last night talking sports nutrition with the athletes from our Hockey camp. We even brought in CTP Smoothies for them to try (thanks Dorothy!). What I didn't realize was, before I could tell them to drink them slowly, they're cups were pretty much empty. I suppose I don't realize that most people chug their smoothies which causes issues like gas, bloating and indigestion. We often get the question, does CTP cause gas or other digestive issues? And the answer is, CTP can...
