Why supplement?

2 years ago

As life moves fast, our nutrient intake can struggle to keep up.

These days it’s quite a challenge getting all the nutrients we need from food, thanks to intensive farming, long distances food travels and artificial fertilisers, its quality has been deteriorating dramatically over the years with factors like the hectic pace of life and environmental pollution, the burden on our bodies only increases, and unfortunately our nutrient intake needs a helping hand.

It all points towards the benefits of supplementing your daily diet with a good multivitamin – and if needed the necessary basic supplements too.

Taking action to tackle a health issue

In addition to taking good care of your health in a preventative way, people sometimes need to take action to tackle a specific health issue. Take the immune system, for example, our biological defence system. It consists of a complex network of cells and processes that protect our body; and it sometimes needs attention. This can be achieved by adjusting your diet to get extra vitamins and minerals. On top of this, you can take supplements such as vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc and copper, all of which help build up good resistance.

What are synthetic food supplements?

In short, synthetic means artificially manufactured. This applies to almost all supplements. In theory, it’s possible to extract most ingredients from nature. The distinction between good and poor quality has to do with the choice of ingredients, especially how the ingredient is extracted or processed. This is because products must be recognisable for the body to be absorbed. The aim is to use a ‘nature-identical’ product. This means that the product corresponds biochemically to its natural form, so that it’s recognisable to the body; can be absorbed; and has no harmful effect.
