Q. Do I need to take supplements?

A.

Much has been said and written about supplements over the years by many influential bodies and so called experts.  There are a lot of erroneous beliefs, misinformation, and hidden agendas about supplements and I must admit that I am a convert myself following my own extensive research.  I am now a great believer in some form of supplementation for everyone, and I take them daily myself.  

Today you cannot get the full quota of nutrients you need, solely from the food you eat, even although many of us eat a “balanced” diet.  This is due to soil depletion (caused by pesticides, herbicides & synthetic pesticides), antibiotics & hormones, food processing, additives, storage, transportation and modern cooking processes, not to mention individual poor eating, absorption and digestion.

From the soil to when you eat, the nutrient content is gradually eroded.  Apart from your food intake, other factors in your lifestyle effect your bodily functions and nutritional supplementation is a good way of redressing the balance.   

Consumption is dependent on a number of factors and it is vital that people seek proper advice from a qualified person, on what supplements to take, in what combination to take them, when to take them, and why they should be taking them in the first place.  The majority of people taking them are self-prescribing and in many instances they are doing themselves more harm than good, without realising it.  Not all supplements are created equally, therefore it is important that you get qualified advice on the merits of the many brands available in the marketplace.
