Things to Know While Choosing Dietary Supplements
by John Smith LearnerEvery day we hear claims that a
certain vitamin or herbal supplement will cure us or dramatically improve our
quality of life. Unfortunately, many are still confused and confused about the
data on supplements. The sheer number of supplements can be overwhelming, but
it's hard to tell which ones actually benefit your health and which ones are
just bogus guarantees.
Countries like the US and other
parts of the world require confirmation that a dietary supplement is dangerous
before it can be removed from store shelves. As a customer, therefore, you need
to be an informed shopper to make well-informed choices about products that
will improve your fitness.
Dietary supplements have been found to be risky in some cases.
Be sure to consult your health care professional before purchasing or using any
dietary supplement if you are pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition
such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease. Although vitamin and
mineral supplements are generally well-studied to prove that they are not
harmful to children, be sure to check with your doctor before giving him or
your child any other supplement.
There are different types of
nutrition or nutritional supplements. Vitamin and mineral supplements contain
trace elements that help the body function perfectly. Dietary supplements for
which a therapeutic purpose has been established are mainly herbal (or
botanical) supplements. These supplements usually support the health of a
specific part of the body, such as the liver, bones or skin.
Things to keep in mind when choosing nutritional and herbal
supplements:
1. Companies
promoting food, dietary and herbal products are not required to carry out tests
to determine the safety or efficacy of the products before placing them on the
market.
2. The
Food and Drug Administration does not analyze the ingredients of nutritional
supplements.
3. Companies
that manufacture dietary supplements are required to follow the FDA's Good
Manufacturing Practices, but some organizations follow the same practices in
drug manufacturing on a voluntary basis.
4. The
Food and Drug Administration does not approve certain health claims on
supplement labels and must include a disclaimer that the supplement is not
expected to "detect, cure, cure, or prevent any disease."
A safe way to buy supplements is
from a trusted vitamin or health food store or from your doctor. However, not
everyone is allowed to use these types of resource tools. If you're internet
savvy, your computer can be your best friend when it comes to choosing the
right accessory. The amount of information on the Internet is overwhelming, but
by following the simple steps below, you can be sure that you are getting
reliable information about herbal or vitamin supplements. The Food and Drug
Administration requires certain facts and figures to appear on nutritional
supplement labels.
