We Love BUBS Naturals For Different Reasons
Did you know MCT Oil Powder is proven to boost immunity?
Based in Solana Beach, BUBS Naturals Collagen Protein is also the only NSF Certified for Sport protein on the market. So, what does that mean? It means your favorite professional teams (including the Padres) keep this stocked in the locker room for their players’ to add to their favorite drink. Add 1 scoop of this powder to your daily coffee to train like the pros! It allows your body to recover faster after tough workouts and improves the appearance and strength of hair, skin and nails. BUBS Naturals is offering FREE shipping for all customers.
As you may know Ryan is doing Keto diet right now. MCT Oil is his best friend on this diet. MCT Oil Powder can actually aid your weight loss journey. Because the MCT is used up as energy almost immediately, your body is less likely to store it as body fat. MCT consumption can also help control appetite by promoting a sense of fullness, and other studies show that MCT may boost your metabolism, helping you burn fat and calories at a more efficient rate. BUBS MCT Oil Powder is also the perfect supplement for those on low-carb ketogenic diets since they are known to help produce ketones.
Medium-Chain Triglycerides derived from coconutsBUBS 100% virgin coconut oil delivers a power-packed punch of health benefits, each part contributing to total well-being.
- BUBS MCT is 70% C-08, commonly known as caprylic acid, a fast-acting, clean energy source that quickly converts into ketones after ingestion, helping to provide you with instant energy.
- This healthy fat aid in boosting mental clarity within minutes while helping reducing gut inflammation, promoting overall digestive health for the ol’ GI tract.
- Capric acid, or C-10, makes up the remaining 30%, helps in keeping your GI tract happy and healthy while boosting the immune system along the way.
Mix 1 scoop or packet (10g) of MCT Oil into your beverage of choice (smoothies, coffee, tea, hot or cool water, orange juice… you get the picture). Enjoy one or more times per day. Store in a nice dry place away from heat and moisture. Keep the closure tightly sealed.
For age 30+ lady like me, my best friend is collagen! No doubt, I have collagen product everyday. And this is one of my favorite so far, it is BUBS collagen protein powder. If you ask me what time is the best to have collagen. The truth is that anytime is a good time to take BUBS collagen Peptides. While most people choose to add it to their morning coffee, making it easy to incorporate it into their daily routine, the full benefits of BUBS Collagen Peptides can be reaped no matter what time you choose to take it, as long as you are getting the full recommended dose. So whether you take it in the morning with your coffee in the afternoon as a pick-me-up, or at night in a comforting smoothie, the important thing is that you take it on a daily basis, not only to supplement but also help boost your body’s own production of collagen.
Hydrolyzed, Grass-fed & Pasture-raised PeptidesCollagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. But naturally, with age, the body’s production of collagen slows down. Simply put, BUBS’ collagen promotes health and healing from the inside out.- Scientifically speaking, the amino acid glycine found in collagen supports metabolic functions.
- Studies show that collagen is critical to the support and reconstruction of joints (cartilage/synovial fluids) and is indispensable if used as a recovery tool after exercise.
- Additionally, the proteins and amino acids in BUBS’ collagen help strengthen skin, promote increased elasticity, and benefit smoothness while supporting healthy hair and nails.
Mix 1-2 scoops or packets (20g) of collagen into your beverage of choice (smoothies, coffee, tea, hot or cool water, orange juice… you get the picture). Enjoy one or more times per day. Store in a nice dry place away from heat and moisture. Keep the closure tightly sealed.
BUBS Naturals was founded in 2017 after a perfect confluence of events. The national tragedy of a best friend, eventually leading to a morning coffee meeting of Sean and TJ looking to make a difference, preserve a legacy, and have some laughs along the way.
The BUBS namesake derives from Glen ‘BUB’ Doherty, who was heroically killed in Benghazi, Libya in 2012. In addition to remembering Glen for the patriot he is, the BUBS ethos centers around the passionate and adventure seeking life that Glen lived.
Woven into the DNA of BUBS Naturals is that of professional athletes, top performers, rabble-rousers, and Navy SEALs. Through that, their goal is to exceed your expectations in everything they do, starting with the Collagen and MCT Oil Powder backed by scientific research and discovery; an endless pursuit to find the Fountain of Youth.
