Is supplement good for health? What kind of supplement you would recommend?

I have been drinking vitamin supplements since i gave birth to our only child. It has kept me strong and has fortified my immune system. Every morning after breakfast , I take 1000 mg of ascorbic acid, 1000 mg. of calcium ,and 800 IU of vitamin E . I can say, that i rarely get sick and catch a cold. I noticed that when i haven't taken ascorbic acid for more than 2 days, my gums would weaken and i would get gum sores. Hence, i make it a point, that i take them religiously.

I take vitamin supplements. I consume one capsule of supplement per day. I have read an article before that there really is no disadvantage of consuming such vitamin supplements. Just don't overdose yourself of it. It says there that taking supplements is a good way of helping out our body without the risks of toxicities and side effects.

It is of course good to take supplements. There are many different kinds available, such as fruits, milk products, vitamins, etc. I have been taking one kind of food supplement regularly every evening, and that is Ensure. It comes in a little bottles. There is another brand called Boost. That is also very good.

Supplements are there to help if your body does not meet the daily requirements of vitamins you need. Even if we eat fruits and veggies everyday, we still do need supplements. For example calcium supplements, even if you drink a gallon of milk, it won't be the basis that your body can absorb the calcium nutrient in it since we are not cows. Anyway what I am trying to say is that there are food supplements that our body can easily absorb with no side effects also. But I only trust Tiens products when it comes to supplements. We do take Cordyceps Sinensis, Spirulina and Calcium drink from Tiens. This is recommended by our physician so I don't say you take the same unless your family doctor suggests it too. All of us have different needs. What my body needs is not the same with yours so better take supplements under the supervision of your doctor and don't self medicate, that is the rule of thumb.

I used to eat all kinds of pills. Viamins and minerals for this or that. That, until I went to see my sister who is a scintist and she showed me sciwentific literature on how that was just throwing money away. If you eat well, you can have all your body needs. It seems that our body needs time to get the elements present in fod. During digestion, it takes this and that as needed. If you take pills, the body does not have time to process them.

What do you mean is food supplement? like Vitamins? Actually, all we need in our body are found in foods we eat. But if you think you didn't get the right amount of that vitamin or mineral, or substance that is needed daily, then you can take a supplement in order not to be deficient with that certain substance your body needs. We always have to bear in mind that our body needs a right amount, a balance in our intakes. It is not good to have more in one substance and less in the other one. Have a nice day and be healthy!
