Today’s active adults may find that their on-the -go styles sometimes cause them to miss out on

and eating habits. Therefore, the average diet today leaves a lot to be desired.
Research finds our meals lacking in a number of essential nutrients, including calcium,
potassium, magnesium, and vitamins A, C, and D. The need for additional food supplements has
practically become necessity. The average person now eats very few helpings of fruits and vegetables.

(Adapted from ‘Dietary Supplements’ http://www.cfsan.fela.gov/-dms-oview.html)
It is important to take supplements from several different sources. It is not good to rely on any
brand. You want to have variety of nutritional products so that you are getting whole food sources from
three or four different manufacturers on a daily basis. This is the best way to be sure that you are getting
a full complement of fruits, vegetables, mushrooms and other food sources that can provide peak
nutrition for you. Consumers benefit from a food supplement industry that ranks amongst the most
sophisticated in the world. In the world of holistic nutrition, we take whole food from nature that is
grown organically. If we do not, then we take superfood supplements. They are dried, ground into
powder and the shaped into powder and then shaped into pills or tablets, Superfoods that are popular in
the market include spirulina, garlic, blue-green algae and wheatgrass.
There is no doubt that we need a variety of nutrients raging from carbohydrates, protein, fat,
vitamins. Minerals and water each day to stay healthy. This includes calcium and vitamin D to protect
our bones, folic acid to produce and maintain new cells and vitamin A to preserve a healthy immune
system and vision. Yet the source of these nutrients is important. Usually it is best to try to get these
nutrients from food as opposed to health supplements. Fruits, vegetables, fish and other healthy foods
contain nutrients and other substances not found in a pill. We cannot get the same synergistic effect from
a supplement.
