It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.



At a time of broken supply chains, concerns about maintaining health, and constant government interference with access to natural products, it's crucial to stock up on the following essential supplements, as well as others you might use every day.



Why You Need to Stock Up Now



Worker shortages, COVID-related closures, and ships that cannot reach their port have led to disastrous supply chain problems.



Though it will take a few more months to become severely problematic, the supplement industry will face significant supply problems soon.



Supplement manufacturers may feel the impact of broken supply chains more than most other industries. Here's why:




Raw materials come from across the globe, which means production or shipping issues with a single ingredient in a formula will keep the product from getting produced.



As we move into cold and flu season, demand could rise to greater levels than ever, with much of the population still fearful of getting COVID-19.



More and more research continues to come out, showing consumers the impact of certain micronutrients, herbs, and botanicals on supporting your immune system, which increases demand even more.



Pressure by government agencies to ax natural therapies, so pharmaceuticals can be sold instead, means some supplements will no longer be available to consumers.



Political tensions may prevent some countries from shipping to others, which could impact raw material availability.




Though the above are all possibilities, one thing is sure: Prices continue to climb. The cost to produce raw materials, ship them to manufacturers, pay employees to make them, and the cost to package and ship them to a customer are all increasing.



If you can still get them, you'll pay more for your supplements a year from now than you do today.



Maintaining Ample Supply



Since most supplements have a 2-year shelf life before their efficacy starts to decrease, you can save yourself money and ensure you'll have ample supply by keeping at least a six-month supply on hand.



Once you get your six-month supply, continue ordering a one-month supply each month after that and using the oldest products first. That way, you won't have products that expire, and you won't have to worry as much about products running out of stock.



Preppers often think this way about food, and many people think this way when it comes to finances, keeping an emergency fund saved up. If you're going to maintain the best possible health, even if you face difficult times, you'll do the same with your supplements.



While I'd recommend you keep a six-month stash of all of your regular supplements, such as the Foundational Five, I've highlighted the supplements below based on their increased likelihood of product shortages and rising prices.



Order based on what your budget allows, but don't get caught without your essential supplements when supplies run out.
