What food supplements do you take?

i take protein powder as supplement as our diet does not fulfil daily requirement of protein.it hepls in keeping me brisk and keeps my diabetes in check.moreover it aids in relieving body or joint pain and gives energy to keep u going on.

yes its neccessary to compensate on food deficiency in the body.....Extra vitamines or nutrients can be used in the form of supplements.

Yes,I do think it becomes more necessary for people nowadays to take extra food supplements than before as the pace of society has been faster and it deprives more from us. The food we eat outside is not as healthy as it should be and our body definitely requires more from other sources besides food.I used to take vitamin E regularly to help my skin and recently I was suggested to take vitamin B to help calming myself down in order to be more focusd on my study.But I went to the pharmaceutical store and got reply like "Vitamin B is used for psychological use". I am metally healthy,I promise.But it is a fact that I'm anxious about my work and study,which stirs up my impatience and distracts me easily. And older people needs more food supplement because their body cannot absorb the same amount nutrition from regular diets as they can before. My grandma takes fish oil instead of eating fish. Take care!

Yeah.. I daily take food supplements. They are very essential to our body. I take dry fruits, fruit punches, fruits,dates etc. These are are good food to take. This keeps me very healthy.

I take little garlic capsules every morning. They are supposed to work like the stuff in the probiotic yogurts. They are non odour so you don't gross every one out by breathing on them all day long and they help if you get phlegm when you run which is my main reason for using them. They also guard against women's unmentionable problems

I take food supplements since during these fast paced days, there are a lot of instant foods around that I myself can't help but consume as well. But I don't totally put my neck on the line on these supplements, because I believe having a healthy meal is still unbeatable, that's why I try to grab one whenever I can.

My family and I take supplements because the food we eat doesn't have the same nutritional value that food had a few decades ago. The one vitamin that I didn't see mentioned and feel it is as important as any, is Vitamin D. I read a medical report earlier this year that stated more than 80% of those who become sick are Vitamin D deficient. That's quite a statement since the best source of Vitamin D is the sun...yet so many people are deficient. Besides Vitamin D (we take D3 which is supposed to be of better quality) we also supplement a couple times a week with E & C, along with an almost daily dose of a multi-vitamin.

I do not take any. You do not need to, if you eat right. It is the responsibility of the individual take control of their lives and not blame the fast food industry. If people eat right, fast food places would disappear. However, that is not likely to happen any time soon. Besides there is a school of thought that suggest that food supplements cause more harm than good. If you listen to your body, it will tell you what it needs (what you should eat).

Food supplements are becoming more and more popular in my country. As people are rich, they can afford these supplements and eat a lot of food supplements, such as special vitamins, calcium tablet and extract from ginseng, which effectively make diet healthier and balanced. In my country people always cook food at very high temperature and for a long time. This could damage nutrition inside the food, especially vegetable, although people like this cooking style. Food supplements can help people overcome the shortage in their cooking style and help them absorb important element for everyday living. Food supplements have positive role in our diet. However people should not rely on these supplement. After all they are not food and we can not live by eating only food supplement. Having healthy diet and enough exercise are more essential than these food supplements.

i'm active person, i do weight training, my body requires greater demands for vitamins/minerals & nutrients, though i can get it to daily table food but i can't rely solely on food to provide me with all micro/macro nutrients that my body needs because the processing of foods before they get to the supermarket, cooking, air, and even light have already robbed our foods of most of the vitamins that they have to offer

I take food supplements for my body. I have Vitamin E and C supplement which goes for my immune system and skin. I think this is necessary nowadays that there are many foods that gives more on waste content in our body rather than nutritious contents to keep our body healthy. This food supplements are used to replace the nutrients and good chemical needed by our body. It helps restore and improve our body functions from the cells, skin to organs. Food supplements are mostly natural based products that gives no toxicity level in human when taken. Improving one's health is good for this will help you enjoy life more by being physically fit and maintaining a healthy body as well.

its now a lot of junk food, and we really need a lot of energy to alot of work, thereforwe need a supplement to increase your energy, but also we need to choose a good supplement for our use

I take Resveratrol because it has been shown to slow the aging process. Also, it has been shown to combat the effects of Diabetes and even certain cancers in mice subject studies. It sure is expensive though. I take the capsule form but would rather take the liquid dropper form but it is way too expensive though. It supposedly works much better because it absorbs into the body better. There is supposed to be a new supplement coming out soon that is similar to Resveratrol that does the same but much better and even might heal organ tissue! It is based on the medicine that doctors give organ recipients in order for their body to not reject the new organs. Medicine - isn't it amazing? Maybe one day, we'll all live hundreds of years with near-perfect health!

I am taking Vitamin C time released,helps fight stress and strengthen immune system,protects the body from common disease like colds and flu..And Vitamin E for my skin, helps to protect my skin from free radical damages and it moisturize and keep skin in good condition and keep skin looks young.Some of my food supplements are mostly for my health benefits..like q-enzyme,collagen etc. WEll depends on what our body need i used to consult expert before taking them anyway.Food supplements are good for body because the food we are taking is not enough to supply our body needs so we are advised to take some of it, to supply what we lacking for. Happy lotting.
