THE TRUTH ABOUT VITAMINS
THE TRUTH ABOUT VITAMINS:
Did you know? The first documented supplement was created in 1912, with Casimir Funk coining the term “vitamine.” Research and development on vitamins and supplements accelerated due to the rise in major deficiency syndromes with proteins, carbohydrates, fats and minerals being classified as early essential nutritional requirements for humans. With so many options, opinions, and conspiracies out there, what is the truth about supplements?
In South Africa, research has shown that over 46% of citizens are active consumers of vitamins and supplements. With a drastic increase in factors affecting health, people have now become more aware of what they consume and how it affects their health and overall well-being. Many have made it a priority to ensure that their body is filled with the correct nutrients that will allow them to perform at their optimum, boost their immune systems as well as brain capacity – to mention a few benefits.
Why supplements? According to worldwide research, most popular reasons for taking supplements are below:
- To feel better
By taking various supplements and/or vitamins to assist with personal self-esteem or health issues, we can combat these issues and start to feel better from within, giving us an overall confidence boost. If you are struggling with skin concerns - add Collagen Creamer, Carni-Lean or Green Tea Extract to your diet and notice the effects on smoothening out and clearing your skin concerns.
- To improve your overall energy levels
If you are struggling with fatigue and the ability to find motivation - brain boosters and physical boosters can allow you to get the extra kick you need, with the added benefit of recovery, muscle care and importantly, endurance. On the contrary, if you are experiencing high energy levels and are struggling to sleep or concentrate, there are options available that will relieve anxiety and finally provide you with a good night’s sleep.
- To boost your immune system
Along with the seasons changing, we can also experience an inevitable rush of sharing air-born viruses like colds and flu. With a weak immune system, we are more susceptible to contracting these unwanted germs and their results could harm our bodies and our health, sometimes for the long term! It is imperative that you consume nutrients and minerals that will boost your immune system and provide an aid to any unwanted bacteria or germs that may try to enter your body. Immune boosters such as the Vita Pack contains sachets of all the vitamins and minerals you need daily to keep your body strong and healthy, and ready to fight off any unwanted visitors.
- To combat digestive issues
If you developed a sensitive stomach post-pandemic, you may be experiencing some issues or discomfort regarding your ability to digest or consume foods or resources that would not have been a problem before. Taking digestive supplements is a natural and commonly used remedy for combating the discomfort or concerns you may be experiencing.
- To lower cholesterol levels
Your body needs a healthy amount of cholesterol to function/generate new cells and decrease the overall risk of heart disease. When our cholesterol is too high, our body develops fatty deposits in our blood vessels, often clogging the arteries and causing difficulty for blood to efficiently. Eating foods that are rich in cholesterol, fats and trans fats are a big contributor to fluctuating cholesterol levels. A supplement such as Digestive Enzymes contains a high-strength mixture of full spectrum enzymes to promote optimal absorption of nutrients, bioavailability and overall gut health and provide digestive aid.
