Many of the multi-vitamin supplements contain mega-doses of vitamins and minerals. If you buy this sort of combination, look for one that has only 100 to 200 percent of the recommeded daily requirements. Except for the oil-based vitamins A, D, E, and K, all the other vitamins your body doesn't use in a day are not stored in your system. It is said that Americans have the most vitamin-enriched urine in the world. Don't pay for what you won't use. Research and read. There are an abundance of good articles on vitamins, minerals, and herbs. Always read the labels. Organic, natural supplements from well-known sources are the best choice. Shop around and compare prices, because they can vary widely from one kind of store to another. How do you know if the substance
is really working? Add one new supplement to your intake
at a time, and observe for a few weeks. This way you can
see if it really makes a difference or causes any
undesirable side effects. You should feel some difference
after a few weeks. |
Examine your lifestyle,
stage of life, and diet. Unless you get sufficient
grains, vegetables, and fruits on a daily basis, taking a
good multi-vitamin is a wise choice. Being under
emotional or physical stress can increase the need for B
vitamins. Smoking burns up large amounts of Vitamin C. If
you are concerned about building or maintaining immunity,
Vitamins A, C, and E are said to boost the immune system
and help destroy cancer-causing toxins. Look at the whole
picture, and decide what combination of supplements would
be best for you. You can design your own personalized
daily combination or look for a multi- supplement that
contains what you want.
