Supplements

The typical western diet does not include an adequate amount of several essential vitamins and minerals. We're all familiar with food additives such as Vitamin D in milk, B vitamins in bread and iodine in salt; many foods are fortified with additional supplements. One primary reason for these additions is that nutrients are lost in food processing. Though use of additives has increased in modern times as our lives became more industrialized, the practice of adding substances to food has existed for centuries. The ancient Romans preserved fruit with honey and salting (which is still used in some rural areas).

There are numerous reasons for adding substances to our food -- from preservation to enhancing flavor and often to increase nutritional value. Even when people eat a healthy diet, it can be difficult to know for certain if the foods one eats will provide all nutrients necessary to maximize one's health and well-being.

One way for healthy people to feel confident about providing their bodies with all necessary vitamins and minerals is to take a high quality multiple vitamin every day. When selecting a product it is important to note the percentage of specific nutrients and whether or not the vitamin contains 100% of the recommended daily allowance. For many vitamins and minerals, the daily allowance has not yet been established, but there is substantial on-going research that exists to determine which supplements are most beneficial to an individual's health and wellness. There is compelling research that supports taking numerous substances not yet designated with a specified recommended daily consumption.
In addition to the substances needed by all of us, research shows that many people benefit greatly from supplementing their diet with vitamins, minerals and other nutrients shown to provide health benefits for particular conditions. Since it can be difficult to ingest therapeutic levels of these compounds through meals alone, high-quality dietary nutritional supplements offer the best way to ingest helpful amounts of such compounds.*
