Things To Consider When Choosing A Food Supplement Or Any Supplement

By Dean Cantwell

When searching for a food supplement you should choose carefully. By doing proper research you will find products that are good for your health without wasting your time and money. Whole food supplements are different from other supplements you will find in the market.

With thousands of supplements in the market today it's important to understand what supplements work and what supplements do not work. Manufacturers use all types of advertising to promote their products. Have you ever seen the advertisement "lose 30 pounds in 30 days"? Do you really believe this advertising?

For good health it's important to choose supplements that will make a difference. The process of trial and error is often time-consuming and expensive. I recommend whole food supplements because they are made from whole foods and not just an isolated vitamin such as vitamin C.

By doing a little research when choosing a whole food supplement you will avoid those costly trial and error mistakes. Remember that high quality products are supplements that work and are not necessarily the most costly product.

There is a simple process that I use when choosing a supplement. Determine what type of supplement you are looking for such as a whole food supplement or another type. Then use the Internet and research the product. The final step is to ask people you know if they use the product and if they've had any benefits by using it.

The upper class of nutritional supplements are food supplements. Vitamins, minerals and antioxidants require the presence of each other, just the way nature intended it to, to obtain the best results for your health. This is called synergistic. Whole foods contain all the nutrients your body needs. An isolated vitamin such as vitamin C is not going to give you the same benefits as getting vitamin C from an orange.

To eliminate 99% of everything on the market ask yourself this question about the supplement you are interested in. Where is the research to support the claims being made? And, are these studies randomized, peer reviewed, double-blind, and third-party studies. With the Internet it's easy to do research and determine whether the studies are viable or not. Look for prominent published studies such as in the American College of Cardiology or in the professional journal of Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise.

The last step in researching a product is to ask around. Talk to your friends and coworkers to see if anyone is using the product you are researching. The key however is to find out if the product is improving the health of your friend, family, or coworker. By following the steps, you're sure to find the best product for your health without wasting your time and money. - 17274
