Why Supplement?

Every year millions of people ask this question. More and more have moved beyond "why" and are beginning to ask, "how do I supplement and what supplement(s) should I choose"? As science brings us more and more information the question of "why" is a fore gone conclusion. But just in case you are still on the fence here are 5 very good reasons for supplementation. On future postings we will explore what should we supplement with, and how do we choose the best from the sea of options available. Here are the top five reasons for supplementation. We will elaborate on each of these as well in the near future.

The five primary reasons to supplement are:

1. To correct nutrient deficiencies and / or make up for poor dietary choices.
2. To replenish what is missing in your foods (vitamins, minerals, enzymes, flora, and antioxidants)
3. To provide your body with the nutrition necessary to combat today's environmental stresses.
4. To meet the higher nutritional needs of today's lifestyle.
5. To decrease your risk of chronic disease and reduce health care costs.
