Supplements

Supplements are nutrients that can complement your daily diet. Supplements can fill in deficiencies or provide support when you need a little extra. The word supplement literally means addition. It is not intended for supplements to be taken instead of food. Not every supplement is equally well absorbed, so always ensure you choose a quality supplement. Supplements come in various forms, such as tablets, capsules, powders, and drops.

Since supplements are an addition to the daily diet, individual needs can vary. However, there are certain nutrients that are essential for everyone to consume in sufficient quantities. Examples include omega fatty acids, antioxidants, and probiotics. We also consider vitamins and minerals as dietary supplements. Among these, vitamin D, vitamin C, magnesium, and zinc are particularly important.
