Most of the discussions on the subject "WHY SUPPLEMENTS AND WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE?" are seems to be without knowledge or little knowledge! The saying that Little knowledge is dangerous clearly proves on most of the above discussions! I have the following submissions to make as a Nutrition & Wellness Adviser: 1. Supplement bridges the gap between the requirement of our body and the intake we get from the food. For example, you need 1 gm Protein (with all the 9 essential amino acids) against per kg body weight PER DAY. Now you can very well calculate how much you are actually taking per day - supplement bridges the gap. None of the food source has all the 9 essential amino acids together and hence you need to take variety of foods to fulfill the requirement (if at all possible). Vegetarians have very little chance of fulfilling the above requirement. Moreover, Protein is not easy to digest and hence, the quality of Protein supplement is measured as per the guidelines of WHO which is called PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acids Score) - check the PDCAAS of the Protein supplement you are selecting. PDCAAS 1 means the highest digestibility. Similarly, I can explain about the requirement of Vitamins and Minerals supplements as well. 2. Now which supplement to select! Anything which is synthetic should be avoided. The supplements which are produced at the source within 2-3 hours with the produce made through organic farming should be selected. 3. Doctors are not certified to comment about the supplements as they are trained only for treating diseases not for prevention while supplements are for prevention. 4. Most of the organic supplements are having no side effects. more
People lived a healthy life and lived well before supplements were invented. Local normal diet , depending on the region you belong to is normally adequate and provides all the ingredients requiered. In abnormal cases let the doctor suggest what you need. Else it effects the brain only and not the body more
