YES Supplement FAQ's

May 31st 2023

YES Supplements, like every supplement, should be researched for your individual needs and you should check with your personal health care professionals to determine the best supplement routine for you. 

Having said that, there are many questions we get about our YES Supplements. 

Q: Will YES™ Supplements react with my medications?
A: No. YES™ Supplements are food products, not drugs. Your body will not treat them in the same way as it would a drug.

Q: Are YES™ Supplements safe for children and pets?
A: Yes, definitely. Not only are they safe, but they provide vital nutrition that will benefit your whole family. Many use the liquid EFA on their dog food. Just take the daily recommended value and adjust to the weight of your dog. For example, the pill form of the EFA is recommended at 4 per day. For our 40 pound dog, we give him 1 per day for his skin allergies. 

Q: I already take Flax oil/Fish oil, do I really need YES™ EFAs?
A: Yes. Flax is only part of what your body needs, and alone can cause an imbalance. YES™ Ultimate EFAs® contain organic flax, plus the other essential oils to ensure you get the ideal balance of parent omega-6 and 3. There is no other EFA supplement like it on the market. Also, YES™ Ultimate EFAs® are far superior to fish oil in purity and effectiveness. 

Q: What makes YES™ Minerals better than other brands?
A: In order for minerals to be utilized in your cells, they need to be “transported” via amino acids like they would if they were in your food. Unfortunately, minerals in the proper form are not common among supplements. YES™ Ultimate Minerals are unique because they are covalently (nonionizing) bonded to amino acids for maximum bioavailability.

Q: Don't I need to avoid fat in my diet?
A: Healthy fats are not a problem, but the adulterated, damaged fats, or fat substitutes you need to avoid. Do not remove good natural fats from your diet! Real butter, olive oil, peanut oil, coconut oil and the fat in dairy, meat and fish are good for you and will help keep you satisfied. These misunderstood nutrients are essential for rebuilding organs and tissues. Make certain that the fats and oils you consume are from organic, unprocessed sources. Commercial vegetable oils (containing Trans fats) have been reported to contribute to serious health problems so you should avoid those.

Q: Are fruits and vegetables good for you?
A: Unlike popular opinion, fruits and vegetables alone don’t provide the level of nutrition sufficient to maintain good health long term. They aren’t bad for you, unless the more starchy or sugary varieties are eaten in excess, simply because of the high sugar content. A serving of 2 low-carb veggies and fruits a day, like leafy greens, melons, and berries, is recommended for variety and to aid in digestion. Otherwise you may overload on sugar.

Q: I suffer from seasonal allergies, what can I do to reduce my symptoms?
A: The best advice for reducing allergy symptoms is cutting out grains and sugar from your diet. The reason grains can affect allergy symptoms is that the gluten has been shown to exacerbate mucus formation and sensitivity to pollens and other allergy causing stimulants. Try cutting breads and crackers for a week or two and you'll probably see a real difference in your symptoms. Our supplements can help, too. Our EFAs will help improve your immune system and reduce inflammation and our Herbal supplements assist with removal of toxins, which can also improve allergy symptoms.

Q: What about carb-loading before working out or other physical activity?
A: Unless you’re an athlete and weight loss is not your goal, carb-loading will thwart your efforts. If you exercise to lose or maintain your weight, loading up on carbs will prevent your body from using its own stored body fat for energy. Be sure to avoid any carbohydrates 2 hours before to 2 hours after your workout for maximum results. Also, take YES™ Ultimate EFAs® before you work out and you’ll have more energy and endurance, little to no lactic acid burn, and your recovery time will be much shorter!

Q: Are YES™ Supplements safe while pregnant of breast feeding?
A: Yes. Our supplements are food, meaning they are the same as eating real food. The nutrients in our supplements are vital for good brain development and cell structure!

Q: Should I drink 8 - 12 glasses of water a day?
A: Drink only when thirsty. The highly publicized "forced drinking of water," is harmful! You can count other drinks, like tea, in the total water you consume! Excessive water consumption can make you hungry and create excess bloating! If you're thirsty, by all means drink water. But there is no reason to carry around a huge bottle and drink from it all day long. Unless you are exerting yourself and sweating a lot, constantly drinking water could be too much for your body. Remember, overdosing on water can deplete your body of essential minerals and potentially be hazardous to your health.

Q: How much protein do I need to eat?
A: First, protein drinks, food bars, and soy-based foods do not provide adequate nutrition and can be harmful. A 150-pound person requires 6-8 ounces of animal-based protein each day. If you're craving protein or cheese, you haven't supplied your body with enough of what it needs. Remember, natural fats and proteins will NOT store extra body fat. These nutrients go directly to structure, building and strengthening your body's organs and tissues, instead of increasing your waistline.
