In general, a healthy, balanced diet goes a long way toward ensuring good health. Sometimes, however, essential nutrients can be missing from our diet due to personal food preferences, lifestyle, food allergies, or the medications we take. A food’s freshness also affects its nutritional value. The shipping, storage and handling of food can result in a loss of nutrients.
What to do if you detect signs of a nutrient deficiency? If, for example, your fingernails tend to break easily, your hair is falling out or you sense a decline in your visual acuity, without there necessarily being a vision problem or illness per se, the use of daily supplements may be beneficial to you. Daily supplements help cover some of the nutritional requirements not met by our daily diet.
What is the difference between daily supplements and medications?
The important thing to remember is that daily supplements help maintain, support and optimize our health. When the benefits of daily supplements are insufficient, we have to turn to remedies, whose function is to restore, correct and alter our state of health.
