The Power of Pairing: How the Right Supplements Enhance Your Wellness Therapies
(And What Not to Take Together)
At Native Healing and Wellness in Tyler, TX, we believe healing happens best when your body is supported from the inside out. That’s why we combine powerful therapies like infrared saunas, massage therapy, and red light therapywith targeted supplement support — to help your body truly absorb the benefits of every session.
If you’ve been curious about which supplements pair well with our services — or how to time them correctly — we’ve got you covered.
Let’s dive into a few of our favorite synergistic combinations… and a few key rules to follow to make sure your body reaps the full reward.
🔥 Infrared Sauna + Activated Charcoal or Shilajit
The Detox Duo (With a Timing Warning)
Infrared sauna therapy helps your body detox naturally by raising your core temperature, stimulating circulation, and encouraging deep cellular-level sweating. But while you’re pushing out toxins… your body also needs help clearing them.
That’s where binders like activated charcoal and shilajit come in.
These natural substances can help:
Bind to heavy metals and toxins
Prevent reabsorption of harmful substances during detox
Support kidney and liver filtration
Boost trace mineral levels (especially shilajit)
⚠️ Important Note: Because both charcoal and shilajit are binders, they can also bind to nutrients and other supplements — reducing their absorption.
Take these at least 1–2 hours away from other supplements or medications.
🕒 Best timing:
Take shilajit or activated charcoal 30 minutes before your sauna, with a full glass of water.
Wait at least 90 minutes after taking them before consuming other vitamins or supplements.
💆 Massage Therapy + Magnesium L-Threonate
For Nervous System Reset + Deep Tissue Recovery
Massage therapy isn't just about working out knots — it’s a nervous system reset. And one of the best ways to support that reset is with magnesium, especially in the L-threonate form, which is known for crossing the blood-brain barrier and supporting cognitive and emotional balance.
Why it works:
Magnesium L-threonate supports relaxation and mental clarity
Helps reduce muscle tension and post-massage soreness
Aids in neuromuscular regulation and recovery
Taking this supplement around your massage helps extend the effects of the session, especially if you deal with chronic tension, anxiety, or sleep disruption.
🕒 Best timing:
Take magnesium L-threonate about 30–60 minutes before your massage or bodywork session.
🔴 Red Light Therapy + Irish Sea Moss + Liquid Colostrum
For Skin, Immunity, and Cellular Repair
Red light therapy is all about cellular rejuvenation — supporting mitochondrial health, skin repair, collagen production, and more. To enhance these effects, pairing red light with nutrient-rich, bioavailable supplements is key.
Two standouts we love:
Irish Sea Moss
Packed with 92 of the 102 trace minerals your body needs
Supports thyroid, gut health, and skin elasticity
A great companion to red light therapy’s skin and cellular benefits
Liquid Colostrum
Rich in growth factors, immunoglobulins, and enzymes
Supports tissue regeneration and immune resilience
Can enhance the healing and recovery processes red light therapy triggers
Together, this trio works on cellular renewal, immunity, and skin vitality — making it a perfect combination for anyone seeking visible and internal results from red light therapy.
🕒 Best timing:
Take both Irish Sea Moss and colostrum within an hour before or after your red light session.
Avoid pairing with binders like charcoal or shilajit around the same time.
🧬 Glutathione + Vitamin C = Cellular Defense Support
For Any Modality Focused on Detox or Inflammation
Whether you’re in for infrared sauna, chiropractic, or red light therapy, your body is always detoxing, repairing, and rebuilding. Two supplements that support almost every modality we offer?
Glutathione (your body’s master antioxidant)
+
Vitamin C (which helps regenerate glutathione and boosts immune function)
Together, they:
Support liver detox pathways
Fight oxidative stress and inflammation
Promote energy and immune resilience
Help your body better respond to other therapies
🕒 Best timing:
Safe to take daily, especially after infrared sauna or red light therapy.
Do not take at the same time as activated charcoal or shilajit.
