When choosing a protein or meal replacement shake, look for essential vitamins and minerals to ensure you’re getting a balanced nutritional profile. Key nutrients to include are Vitamin C for immune support, Vitamin E for antioxidant protection, and Selenium for its potential cancer-protective properties. Folate is important for preventing certain birth defects and cardiovascular health, while Omega-3 fatty acids support heart health and reduce inflammation. Additionally, dietary fiber aids digestion and supports a healthy gut microbiome. Selecting a shake with these nutrients helps maintain good health and prevent nutrient deficiencies when replacing meals.
