Food supplements refer to products commonly consumed for the purpose of supplementing the diet and enhancing health. They normally contain ingredients from natural sources and are not meant to prevent, treat, cure or alleviate the symptoms of medical diseases or conditions. Some examples of supplements are in capsules, soft gels and tablets.

Pro: Supplement a Poor Diet

There are many people who are aware that they lack vitamins and minerals in their diet. As a result, they tend to make up for the lack of nutrients by taking multivitamin. In this age and time, many tend to eat out instead of cooking themselves where they're more in control of the nutrients in ingredients used, hence it is not surprising to be lacking in some important nutrients. Therefore, by taking food supplements, we can try to supply our body with the nutrients it needs.

Con: Supplement are not adequate substitute for food nutrients

Research shows that supplements lack the valuable complexity of nutrient combinations inherent in food. Much remains unknown when it comes to the precise interactions between the supplements and your body. Countless factors come into play, and everyone’s body chooses its own absorption rates which differs from individuals.

Con: Supplements may interact with your regular medication

People who need to take prescribed drugs have to be extremely cautious when it comes to taking dietary supplements. Herbal supplements, in particular, may counteract prescribed drugs which can be very dangerous. Ask your doctors before eating them.

Health Supplements is a double edge sword if you make use of it properly it can have a positive impact on your health if not it might be life threatening. Why not have a nutritious diet and consume nutrients from freshly cooked food?
