Dietary Supplements - Do I Really Need Them?

by John Smith Learner

Dietary supplements may include vitamins, minerals, herbs, herbal substances, amino acids, and enzymes. Dietary supplements are products that people add to their diet. Dietary supplements cannot mimic all the nutrients and benefits of whole foods such as fruits and vegetables. Dietary supplements come in tablet, capsule, powder, soft gel, extract or liquid form.

Contract                             

A dietary supplement is an oral product containing "dietary ingredients" intended to supplement the diet. To use a dietary supplement as safely as possible, tell your doctor about any dietary supplement you take. Do not take more than recommended on the label. Stop using it if side effects occur. Read reliable information at the National Institute of Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Some supplements can help some people improve their diet and get enough essential nutrients to stay healthy.

vitamins

Vitamin create a new approach to nutrient delivery in addition to traditional pills and traditional liquid vitamins. Therefore, a fresh supply of these vitamins is needed every day. People often take vitamins and minerals to supplement their diet and treat illnesses. "Nutritional ingredients" in dietary supplements may include substances such as vitamins, minerals, herbs and amino acids, as well as enzymes, organ tissues, metabolites, extracts or concentrates. Fat-soluble vitamins and water-soluble vitamins are the two main forms of vitamins that every human body needs. Nutrients are substances your body needs to function—some experts estimate about 45 different elements and compounds, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other chemicals. If you're a vegetarian, you may not be getting enough calcium, iron, zinc, and vitamins B-12 and D.

Healthy                             

If you're generally healthy and eat a variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, lean meats, and fish, you probably don't need supplements. However, if you can't or don't eat enough healthy foods, or can't eat or eat a variety of healthy foods, you may need a daily supplement. Taking a multivitamin does not make up for an unhealthy diet, and multivitamins are poor substitutes for the nutrients found in fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains, but general vitamin and mineral supplements can be a good guarantee. Do not assume that because a product supports or promotes healthy bodily functions, it prevents or reduces the risk of any disease, including cancer. Don't rely on supplements to make up for an unhealthy diet. This is because many people have turned to nutritional supplements to fill in the gaps created by an unhealthy diet.

benefits

Scientists use several methods to evaluate the potential health benefits and safety risks of dietary supplements, including historical and laboratory studies using cell or animal models. Certain supplements have been shown to have a positive effect on your health.

Eating

Achieving your personal best requires a balanced eating plan and a consistent exercise program. But healthy food is the best way to get the nutrients you need. Dietary supplements are widely available in the United States at health food stores, grocery stores, pharmacies, online, and by mail order. Currently, supplement manufacturers must meet Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements for food. Supplements can help us live longer, healthier lives, but only when used correctly.
