营养补品 YINGYANG BUPIN - SUPPLEMENTS

Supplements are complements to the nutrition we take by mouth. Supplements are available without prescription and they come in pill, powder, or liquid form. Common supplements include vitamins, minerals, and herbal products, also known as botanicals. People take supplements to introduce enough essential nutrients in the body to maintain or improve health.

In an ideal world we would eat well and healthy all the time, but most of the food we eat is grown in nutrient-poor soil that contains pesticides and heavy metals. Cattle, chickens, and other animals raised in unsanitary conditions and pumped full of antibiotics and hormones; all denature the food that ultimately reach us in the marketplace. Even if the food we ate were pure, it still could not provide the optimal amount of specific nutrients the body needs to fend off the stress and other vicissitudes that life hands over to us in the perilous times we are living.

For instance, to get the optimal amount of phytonutrients to fortify the immune system, we could not eat 5 pounds of broccoli, 5 pounds of kale, 2 pounds of beets, 3 pounds of apples, followed by a quart of blueberries, but instead take a well-crafted supplement that delivers the equivalent power.

While common supplements include vitamins and minerals, other types of supplements may include enzymes and hormones the body employs to produce yet other enzymes and hormones to effect the maintenance of the frame, the DNA, the blood, etc. for a healthier longevity.

A GUIDE TO BUYING SUPPLEMENTS

• Buy products with only highest quality ingredients. They cost more.
• Look for brands that deliver third-party independent testing of their products, including purity.
• Buy brands that have long record of success in the supplement industry.
• Buy brands that have the GMP insignia (good manufacturing practices) on them.
