Getting Supplement Smart
GETTING SUPPLEMENT SMART
Nothing beats a wholesome, well-rounded diet when it comes to delivering nutrients, but that’s not always easy to achieve with diet alone, especially when combined with the reality of day to day and the lack of quality foods available at the standard that’s actually needed. So, we’re putting the spotlight onto our supplements. We’ve extended our supplement offering to include new brands and provide a wider choice. With that we thought it might be helpful to focus on frequently asked questions to help guide you on your supplement journey.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF TAKING SUPPLEMENTS?
The first rule of supplements is to remember that by their very nature, they are designed to complement and enhance a balanced, healthy diet, not substitute, or replace. In an ideal world our diet would be the main source of vitamins and minerals to help keep us in optimal health. However, the reality is that it is genuinely hard to get the vitamins we need from our diet alone and nutritional supplements can play a key part in boosting our immune system. Here's an example; when we’re stressed we use up certain vitamins at a faster pace and our health can become more fragile. Stress can be so destructive on our bodies, impairing our digestive system which in turn will not only influence our skin and hair condition but also weaken our immune system. To be able to react in the agile manner required to give our bodies what they need is a huge task. That’s where supplements come in – they boost and enhance where necessary.
WHAT SUPPLEMENTS SHOULD I TAKE FOR MY SKIN AND WHY?
Collagen and Elastin production gradually slows as we age, from the age of 30 levels of collagen start to decrease dramatically and our ability to regenerate skin cell declines, all resulting in fine lines, wrinkles, and thinning skin. But do not fear as modern-day skincare is far more complex than ever before. For the serious skincare super users, they know that achieving and maintaining good skin requires so much more than any topical cream can offer alone. That routine needs advanced support and enhancements in the form of supplements.
