Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients absorbed by the body from consuming a variety of foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and fish. Because micronutrient needs vary according to gender, physical activity, eating habits, age, medications, and overall health, many people are unable to meet their nutritional needs through diet alone. In fact, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that 92% of the U.S. population is deficient in at least one mineral or vitamin.
To minimize nutritional gaps, supplements are recommended to help provide long-term health of your immune system, bones, joints, and heart.
Nutritional deficiencies can have serious consequences affecting your daily life and overall well-being. For some, symptoms of deficiency may be subtle, but others may experience:
- Trouble Sleeping
- Muscle Weakness
- Dry or Brittle Hair
- Dry Skin
- Chronic Fatigue
- Slow-healing wounds
- Digestive Problems
Not All Vitamin and Supplement Companies are Created Equal
If you are unable to meet your nutritional needs through diet alone, vitamins and supplements can be an effective way to close the gap. However, not all vitamin and supplement companies are created equal. The FDA does not regulate vitamin and nutrition supplements, allowing companies to make claims that their products contain certain amounts of nutrients that often times they do not. Because these supplements are not regulated by the FDA it is important to choose a brand that does their own third party testing and makes this available to the consumer. Purchasing trusted brands of supplements allows you to maximize the potential health benefits of supplementation and ensures you are actually getting what you are paying for.
