Not All Supplements Are Created Alike
Not all vitamins and dietary supplements are created equally. There is little constraint, especially in South Africa, of control standards, which require that the ‘listed’ ingredients in a supplement are actually verified as being present, and in what quantities. This is why, as a consumer, you need the assurance of a substantiated, quality supplement. Natural Online Pharmacy stocks the premium brand Nature’s Plus – manufactured in the USA and subject to independent lab tests, with the results published annually in their product assay. Nature’s Plus delivers purity, quality and potency without parallel. This is your protection, and as an informed consumer, your decision on which supplement to purchase will ensure that you get the quality you are paying for.
Many of us may question whether it’s even necessary to take any supplements if you are not feeling sick. The foremost importance of supplementing a modern, often neglected diet is to ensure that the body receives adequate nutrition in terms of vitamins, minerals and sustenance. Ironically, with the rising rates of obesity, nutritional deficiency is an extremely common problem. With our busy lifestyles and the ever-tempting convenience of fast food, it is very easy to consume empty calories which offer no nourishment.
Supplements work by complementing your diet to ensure you receive the right nutrients, and in adequate amounts. By the time the symptoms of illness do show, the body has probably been lacking in sufficient maintenance for some time preceding infection. Prevention is always better than cure, and vitamin / mineral deficiencies result in an impeded immune system allowing for the invasion of viruses and bacteria. The holistic idea is to keep your defence system on track, and to encourage the body to heal itself at a faster pace should an infection be unavoidable.
The most useful supplements to consider on a daily basis:
- Multi-vitamin
- Calcium and magnesium
- B complex
- Omega 3 fatty acids
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a chronic medical condition, be sure to consult your doctor or a nutritional specialist before taking any dietary supplements. Your medical history, diet and current medication should be taken into consideration for your specific supplementation needs. At Natural Online Pharmacy we have our clinical nutritionist Melissa-Jo Sharpe online, to offer advice and solutions for your health concerns.
Living a fulfilled, healthy life is never about any one factor, but rather about combining multiple factors related to you as a whole being, in a positive direction. Supplements alone cannot serve as a substitute for a good diet or adequate sleep. They can however, be a facet in helping the process of living a life of quality with the best gift one could have – excellent health.
