Things To Consider When Choosing A Food Supplement Or Any Supplement

By Dean Cantwell

Many supplements available today do little for your health. My recommendation is food supplements and they must be chosen carefully. By doing proper research you will save yourself time and money and most of all your health.

How do you know something is good for your health? With so many supplements on the market today and all the advertising that goes along with it you need to be careful and not fall for the advertising gimmicks such as "lose 30 pounds in 30 days".

You can go through the process of trial and error which is not only time-consuming but also expensive. I don't recommend this process. Your goal is to select a supplement that will make a difference in your health. Our choice is whole food supplements.

Just because a supplement is costly does not mean high quality. You need to go through a process of using research to choose a high quality supplement. High quality products are those supplements that work!

The first step is to determine whether a supplement is a whole food supplement or another type of supplement. The second step is to research the product. And the third step is to ask people you know for their recommendations and opinions about products that they use.

If you're looking for a supplement that works as nature intended it, it makes sense to use a whole food supplement, the new elite class of nutritional supplements. Science tells us that vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants are often synergistic. This means that they require the presence of each other to give you maximum benefit. The whole range of good nutrients you find in whole foods you will also find in whole food supplements.

When researching a supplement on the market you should ask "Where are the third-party, randomized, double-blind, peer reviewed, published studies to support the claims being made?" You will eliminate 99% of the supplements on the market by asking this question. Because of the Internet it is easy to find bona fide studies that you can rely on. Be sure and use respected journals such as the professional journal of Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise or the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

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. - 17269
