What is in food supplements?
Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients that the body needs in very small amounts to work properly. Most of them cannot be manufactured by the body and need to come from the food we eat.
As well as vitamins and minerals, food supplements may also contain other ingredients such as herbs, amino acids, amino sugars, enzymes and essential fatty acids.
Particular nutrients perform one or more specific functions within the body. For example, calcium and vitamin D work together to build strong bones and teeth; vitamin D also supports our immune functions and calcium is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses. Vitamin C helps keep cells healthy and facilitates the absorption of iron whilst iron is involved in the production of red blood cells, along with riboflavin (vitamin B2) vitamins B6 and B12 and folic acid.
Can people get all the nutrients they need from their diet?
Eating a healthy, balanced diet is the best way to get all the nutrients the body needs. However, UK dietary surveys show that many people do not meet dietary recommendations such as eating five portions of fruit and vegetables a day or oily fish twice a week.
Some groups of people in particular may find it difficult to achieve recommended nutrient intakes through diet alone. These include young children and adolescents, pregnant and breastfeeding women, housebound or institutionalised elderly people, smokers, heavy drinkers, and anybody on a restrictive diet, such as vegans, vegetarians and people trying to lose weight.
Nutrients can also be lost from food as a result of poor methods of storage, preparation and cooking. In addition, busy lifestyles mean that people are more inclined to skip meals and grab individual snacks without giving thought to putting together properly balanced meals which would provide the right mix of nutrients.
Did you know that Vitamin D can help improve mood?
Yes, Vitamin D plays a role in brain function and mood regulation. Studies suggest that adequate levels of Vitamin D may help reduce the risk of depression and improve overall mood.
Did you know that calcium is essential for strong bones and teeth?
Absolutely. Calcium is a key mineral for maintaining strong bones and teeth. It supports bone density and helps prevent osteoporosis. Ensuring sufficient calcium intake is crucial for skeletal health.
Did you know that Vitamin C can boost your immune system?
Indeed. Vitamin C is well-known for its immune-boosting properties. It helps stimulate the production of white blood cells, which are essential for fighting infections, and also acts as an antioxidant to protect cells from damage.
Did you know that omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial for heart health?
Yes, omega-3 fatty acids are essential for cardiovascular health. They help reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, and improve cholesterol levels, contributing to a lower risk of heart disease.
Did you know that iron is crucial for oxygen transport in the blood?
Correct. Iron is a vital component of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Adequate iron levels are necessary to prevent anemia and ensure efficient oxygen transport.
Did you know that magnesium helps with muscle function and energy production?
Absolutely. Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including muscle function and energy production. It helps regulate muscle contractions and supports overall energy levels.
What are the benefits of Quercetin with Bromelain?
Quercetin is a flavonoid found in various fruits and vegetables, known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Bromelain is an enzyme derived from pineapples that aids in digestion and has anti-inflammatory effects. Combined, they may offer enhanced health benefits. This combination may support immune function, reduce inflammation, alleviate allergy symptoms, and improve digestion. Quercetin's antioxidant properties help protect cells from oxidative stress, while Bromelain supports the body’s natural anti-inflammatory processes.
How should I take Berberine?
