As scientists continue to suggest optimal nutrient intakes, the gap between ideal and actual intakes will widen. In many cases the Optimal Daily Intake will be several times the current Recommended Dietary Allowance , and the only possible means of attaining these levels will be supplements.In other words, supplementation can give your body what it needs to survive and thrive!

While one person refuses to eat green vegetables, another will prefer foods heavy in fat, and yet another may consume only a very small amount of protein. Our individual metabolism also determines the benefits we derive from food.Age, sex, physical condition, and activity levels directly affect the body’s need for nutrients and its ability to use them.

No two people are alike in their nutritional needs. Members of the same family, eating the same meals, will derive different benefits from the foods served. Our personal tastes dominate much of what we consume.

Many scientists believe that these differences may play a large part in explaining why some people complain of tired and sluggish while others remain vital and active. Certain aspects of your lifestyle can increase nutrient demands.

For instance, physically active people may need more antioxidants than sedentary individuals. So, too, might people who are exposed to pollution on a daily basis, who consume foods laden with fat or chemical additives, or who are under mental stress.

Alcohol, medication, food additives, and water contaminants can also increase the need for certian nutrients. Smokers may benefit from more vitamin C, and coffee drinkers
may want to take more B-vitamins. Dieters, on the other hand, may need more vitamin E, as avoiding fat means missing out on some of the richest sources of this vitamin.

And if they eat products made with “fake fats” such as olestra, they may need to
supplement with vitamins A, D, E, K, and carotenoids, as artificial fats may hinder the body’s utilization of these lipidsoluble nutrients.

Nutritional supplementation has two goals:

1. Providing nutrients in amounts sufficient to prevent or correct deficiency symptoms.

2. Providing nutrients in amounts necessary for supporting optimal health.

Supplementation can go a long way toward filling nutritional gaps created by suboptimal diets and impacting your quality of life. CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE
