A Beginner's Guide To Using Supplements - Pooja Chilukuri
Introduction
Supplements are fast gaining popularity as consumers are seeking to mitigate their health issues in the most natural
manner possible. As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I find a potentially harmful mindset that prevails amongst users of natural therapies- the belief that all natural
is always safe and devoid of side effects. Also, many individuals are unaware that high doses of multi vitamins can be toxic, and that their supplements can interfere with their prescription medications. Many wellness seekers are consuming a variety of specialty supplements such as immune boosting herbs, weight loss pills, anti-aging supplements, digestive aids, probiotics, energy drinks, proteins shakes, and meal replacements. Each one holds the promise of prevention or cure. Is it truth or hype? How are they to know?
Regardless of their health benefits, the indiscriminate use of supplements can cause serious and potentially life-threatening issues. According to a Consumer Reports article from 2017, liver damage from supplements is on the rise. Despite this, the $38 billion dollar supplement industry is here to stay.
This guide will help you explore what supplements are and how they came about, the benefits and risks associated with supplement use, what to look for in a supplement label, how to assess a safe dosage level, how to identify adverse reactions to supplements, and my top ten questions to ask prior to using any supplements so you can choose and use supplements wisely. When used safely and properly, supplements can be beneficial to your integrative health-care regimen.
