Does Health Supplements Work?

Thursday, May 9, 2013 21:51

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Are you taking health supplements? If so, what kind of supplement is it? Is it a weight loss pill, vitamins or herbal supplements? Whether you are taking supplements or not, it is important that you know every bit of information or benefits of the product that you are swallowing.

This is the reason why I am writing this post. I am going to give you some short details about health supplements and why you should or should not use them.

What are Health Supplements?

Vitamins or health supplements came into picture in the mid-1930′s where scientists were able to isolate the actual vitamins from foods and herbs.

The main design of health supplements though is to mainly support health, which is the reason why it is called “supplements” in the first place.

For example, let say you need a daily dose of B complex for your nerves, then you urgently needs foods that contains a lot of vitamin B’s. On the other hand, you can get a complete B complex of vitamins through supplements. So these products are quite useful especially nowadays.

Are Health Supplements Useful?

Based on the sample above, vitamins and many other supplements are in fact, useful. Varying your diet or even concentrating on healthy foods, is also in fact required to take health supplements.

Another sample would be vitamin D. This vitamin is naturally sourced by the sun and some territories such as the northern European countries, doesn’t have regular sun exposure. Through vitamin D supplements, one can acquire this important vitamin through pills.

How about if you are herbal advocate? Yes, herbal supplements can solve any issues. For example, a potent herbal supplement called lagundi or malungay are both not accessible in US or Europe because these are only cultivated in South East Asia. Through herbal supplements, people in these region can acquire herbal-based vitamin supplements.

Any other vitamins such as folic acid, amino acid, vitamin C, A and many others are all available through supplements. Are they useful? Yes of course!

Disadvantages and Concerns of Health Supplements

There are various reasons why an individual is avoiding health supplements. One is the danger of overdose. Most of these supplements doesn’t need a doctor’s prescription, which many people perceives to be safe if you double up your dosage.

Another factor why people avoid vitamin supplements is the quality. Yes, most pharmaceutical companies don’t have dependable credentials, which makes their product dangerous and ineffective. An example would be synthetic vitamin supplements like vitamin C, which can’t be expelled easily and becomes toxins inside the body if not absorbed.

While most health supplements are incredibly affordable, there are supplements that will drain your budget. This includes slimming pills and herbal supplements that usually comes from a multi-level marketing program. Just take a look at HerbaLife and other supplements out there, they are costly and are not practical.

But the common cause of concern for most people are side effects. For most sensitive individuals, taking a simple vitamin may cause dizziness, anxiety attack, heart palpitations or allergies. While we are different from each other biologically, these side effects varies from person to person.

Conclusion on Health Supplements

Health Supplements can either be useful or risky depending on different situations or cases. If you happen to have allergies or any other health conditions, it is just appropriate for you to consult your physician first before you take any health supplements out there.

In average, health supplements can be your perfect health buddy. It will support your health and defend it from harmful diseases such as cancers (antioxidant supplements).
