The Emerging Role of Dietary Supplements in Health and Wellness

The most common doubt we have is, “I eat a pretty well-balanced diet. Do I really need to take a dietary supplement?”

“Yes.” You do need to take dietary supplements.

Read on to know why I am giving importance to dietary supplements.

American Medical Association recommended that every individual should take dietary supplements over and above eating a well-balanced diet, to attain a optimum health condition.

Let us first have a look on what are dietary supplements.

What are Dietary Supplements?

Dietary supplements include different variety of vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids; fiber or amino acids that are intended to provide nutrients to your diet and help prevent nutrition related disorders.

They are available in the form of tablets or capsules that are meant to be consumed by mouth. They are not pharmaceutical drugs or any food additives like preservatives or spices.

They are intended to supplement an individual’s diet, despite not being used as meal replacement.

Why Dietary Supplements are Important in Your Life?

There is no secret that fruits and vegetables are few of the healthiest foods in our life. The risk of getting any diseases like cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc. may go down if you eat more of the healthiest foods.

However, according to a survey, people in general are not probably eating adequate fruits or vegetables to fulfill their daily nutritional requirements.

A plant is as nutritious as the soil it was grown in. It does not matter how many vegetables and fruits you intake, if they are grown in nutrient poor soil, they won’t be very nutrient rich. Unfortunately, the truth is that the nutrient content of the soil and thus our crops has been declining gradually for decades.

This creates the need for you to add some essential nutrients to your diet with the help of Health supplements to balance your daily nutritional requirements.

If your diet does not contain an adequate amount of nutrients, it can lead to malnutrition and thus cause various disease conditions such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, etc. eventually leading to a major damage to your life.

Hence, supplementation of nutrients like vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids, etc. is essential for your health and wellness.

Different Types of Dietary Supplements

Vitamins

Vitamin is an organic chemical compound that cannot be synthesized by the body in adequate quantities and should be acquired from your diet. Supplementation of vitamins is essential for treating certain health conditions and can also be consumed by any individual for optimal health.

Dietary Minerals

Dietary minerals or elements are the chemical elements required by an individual, other than the four elements oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen present in common organic molecules.

Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine refers to the use of plants for medical treatments. Many plant derived products are been used in Healthcare products for years, due to their therapeutic properties.

Essential Fatty Acids

Your body requires essential fatty acids for your overall health and well-being. However, these fatty acids cannot be produced by your body and hence should be consumed from diet or supplements.

Amino acids and Proteins

Essential amino acids must be supplied to your body by food or food supplements as the body cannot make them.

Bodybuilding Supplement

Bodybuilders and athletics need bodybuilding supplements to enhance weight gain, muscle gain, promote weight loss or improve athletic performance. The most widely used supplements are protein supplements, glutamine, branched chain amino acids, vitamins, essential fatty acids, creatine and testosterone.

Are Dietary Supplements Safe?

Dietary supplements are safe when you follow RDA (recommended dietary allowance) levels, because over dosage of any nutrient can lead to toxicity. Each nutrient has its own RDA value which you must follow, before consuming.

They are not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any disease. If you are taking medication, pregnant or nursing, consult your physician before using them.

So, choose your range of superior grade qualitative dietary supplements that are manufactured within RDA levels and stay healthy and happy.

Arthritis is a form of joint disorder that involves inflammation of joints such as pain, redness, swelling and loss of function. There are over 100 different forms of arthritis. Osteoarthritis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis are some forms of arthritis.

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common forms of arthritis. It is characterized by gradual loss of cartilage (connective tissue) and results in joint pain and reduced function.
