There is some controversy about the use of nutritional supplements, with some experts claiming that we should get enough nutrients from our diets. Yet more and more people are suffering from various complaints and just do not seem healthy. Supplementing your diet with certain essential nutrients might be the answer to low level health problems.

The fact is simply that the soils on which crops are grown are depleted of certain trace elements. Modern farming methods, including the use of artificial fertilizers, are making the situation worse. Sewerage systems and transport mean that essential trace elements are not being returned to the soil, and may simply be flowing out to sea in many cases.

A vitamin which is essential for a number of processes in the body, vitamin D is currently in the spotlight. It can be manufactured by our bodies from sunlight, providing the sun is high enough so the UVB rays enter the atmosphere. Natural supplements provide the correct vitamin D3 form which is beneficial.

When taking supplements, make sure they are bioavailable, otherwise they will not provide any benefits. Even Vitamin C needs to be in this form to be of any use. While synthetic nutrients may be chemically the same or very similar, your body may not recognize them if they are not in the form which it expects, and they may then actually cause a problem.

An important point is that you should not take doses of supplements that are too large. In excess they can be toxic, and have potentially serious effects. However, the optimum dose is frequently far more than the RDA of a given substance, which is just sufficient to avoid clinical symptoms of deficiency. In most cases the dose will be shown clearly.

Supplements with anti-aging properties are becoming increasingly popular. Of especial importance are antioxidants, with resveratrol and Astaxanthin revealing great potential to keep you looking younger. Resveratrol is found mainly in dark chocolate and other cocoa products, with Astaxanthin occurring in large quantities in shellfish and pink salmon.

While there are natural sources of these nutrients, nutritional supplements are necessary to provide optimal levels. Truly vibrant health and vitality then becomes possible, and your feeling of well-being will amaze you. You should also be sure to eat organic foods, as adaptation to new foods is likely to prove an exceedingly slow process.
