What Are Good Dietary Supplements And How Do They Help Us?
from:The World of Dietary Supplements
In today’s day and fast paced age, more and more people are realizing the need to have dietary supplements in addition to their daily intake of food to enhance and balance their nutrition needs. The purpose of any dietary supplement is to act as an additional supplement to our existing diet. Good dietary supplements generally contain one or more dietary ingredients like vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, and other substances or their constituents. They are meant to be taken orally in the form of a pill, capsule, tablet, or syrup. Some dietary supplements are also extracts or concentrates.
The DSHEA puts dietary supplements in a special category which falls under the general purview of "foods," and not under the category of drugs. However, it also requires that every supplement be labeled specifically as a dietary supplement clearly and visibly on the product.
Be safe rather than sorry
It's always better to consult a medical doctor before beginning any dietary supplements. This is especially applicable to women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, chronically ill patients, elderly people, children under the age of 18, and for people taking prescription or over-the-counter medicines. This is because a few supplements can increase blood levels of patients consuming certain drugs to dangerous levels.
Buy Quality Products
The dietary supplement industry has been plagued by poor manufacturing practices for some time now, and the ever-increasing demand for good dietary supplements in a lax regulatory environment has made the production of these supplements prone to quality-control issues. For example, the FDA has found many instances where some manufacturers were buying herbs, plants and other ingredients they used, without properly testing them to ascertain if the product they had asked for was actually what they had received, or if the ingredients were free from adulteration or not.
Buy products with the U.S.P. notation among its ingredients. This shows that the manufacturer has followed standards set by U.S. Pharmaceutical companies. Make sure you understand that the term "natural" on the product label does not guarantee that the product is safe for consumption. It only states that the product is made from natural ingredients. For example, mushrooms can be poisonous, but they are a natural product.
It pays to choose a good dietary supplement manufacturer or distributor. Buy supplements produced by a well known food and drug manufacturer. You are much more likely to get a quality product that way.
Good Supplement, Bad Supplement.
Once you begin consuming dietary supplements, how do you determine if these dietary supplements are doing what they are claim to? The truth is, not all supplements that say laboratory tested are effective. So, be careful and test products for disintegration, dissolution, strength,
purity and expiry date. This way you will be assured of getting what you would call a good dietary supplement.
