What if you aren’t able to absorb the nutrients that you need to achieve peak energy? How are you supposed to absorb the necessary amounts of say iodine or B-12 that you need to maintain healthy bodily processes? The answer, you get a little help.
And that help comes from supplements.
According to the FDA: “a dietary supplement is a product intended for ingestion that contains a dietary ingredient intended to add further nutritional value to supplement the diet.”
These supplements make sure that you’re able to get an adequate intake of essential nutrients. They can come in many different forms, such as tablets, powders, capsules and possible a mixed drink.
Now the key word there is that dietary supplements should be supplementing your diet…but which ones and for what?!
