Do Supplements add value?

At times we may eat a healthy diet, however still be nutrition deficient as our body is incapable of absorbing the nutrients optimally. Studies have shown that most of the time absorption is the reason for the deficiency. This is where Homeopathy and Ayurveda may prove beneficial.
There are various types of dietary/nutritional supplements. Vitamin and mineral supplements contain micronutrients that are supposed to help a healthy body function efficiently. Herbal (or botanical) supplements are nutritional supplements that have health benefits. These herbal supplements generally support a localized area of the body such as the hair, eyes, heart, bones, liver or skin.

Therefore, it is highly advisable to consult a Health care practitioner before consuming any supplement especially if you are:
