Do supplements add value?

Does there seem to be a debate about the need for supplements? Sometimes, they are necessary. They are building blocks we might not get through our diet.

Our bodies may be able to absorb nutrients, but we still suffer from nutrient deficiency. The problem is usually absorption. Ayurveda and homeopathy can help in this case.

There is a wide variety of nutritional/dietary supplement types. Vitamin and mineral supplements are micronutrients that help the body function. Botanical supplements or herbal supplements have health benefits. The herbal supplements target specific areas of the body such as the hair, the eyes, or the skin.

FDA Norms

Dietary supplements are not as tightly regulated as drugs by the FDA. These products are not regulated, and they can have adverse effects or interfere with other medications when taken together. You should consult a healthcare professional before taking supplements.

How to use supplements wisely
