Nutritional Supplements Information

It's so important to find top nutritional supplements information and facts about vitamins. There are so many different vitamin supplements online, if you want to buy dietary supplements how do you know what you need and which ones are best?

I am here to give you as much information about the best diet supplements as possible. As a Naturopath I continually stay informed about all the latest research, dietary supplements risks and benefits.

I believe that the best diet supplements can be used short term and will provide lasting results. They are a means to an end to support the body in the healing process.

There is no need to suffer with symptoms, pain, discomfort, imbalance and illness when often there are natural nutritional supplements that can help!

Are nutritional supplements 
really necessary?

Each cell, organ, gland and every part of your body needs specific elements to perform it's necessary tasks.

When there is a lack of biochemical substances, ie, vitamins, minerals or nutrients, the cells or organs become damaged and do not function up to par.

Illness results.

As long as you nourish your body with all the right nutrients it will function optimally and keep on regenerating itself indefinitely. Unfortunately, it is impossible to get all the nutrients our body needs from our diet.

Vitamins and minerals are used in every biochemical reaction in your body. They are used for breathing, to transport nutrients, to nourish your cells, to produce energy etc. They are essential for all of your tissues, organs, your brain, the senses and more.

Disease stems from two imbalances:

  • Excesses that produce an over abundance of toxins in the body
  • Deficiency or lack that leads to a weakness in the body

Achieving optimal health is all about providing your cells with the nutrients they need while ensuring you remove harmful toxic materials, so the cells can thrive.

Each of your body systems works towards this goal. Have you ever considered whether your diet provides you with all the nutrients you need? Most of us are lacking and find it hard to get the 7 to 10 recommended daily servings of vegetables.

Supplementing is like nutritional insurance.

It is just as important as eating the right foods.

Today people all over the world are more interested in their health and well being. Many are disillusioned with the "health care" system which would be better named a "disease care" system. They are taking their health into their own hands, going back to the basics, getting turned off of or becoming ill by the damaging side effects of medication.

A good supplement company will provide you all nutritional supplements information you need.

How to choose a supplement company?

When I began studying to be a Naturopath I spent years researching all the dietary supplements manufacturers, until I found a company I could trust for myself and my clients.

Here is the nutritional supplements information you need to know:

  • How long has the company been in business. 10 years or preferably longer is better.
  • Ask what their quality control measures are.
  • How do they determine the identity, purity and potency of the herbs that they sell and can they guarantee that?
  • Can they guarantee their products to be free of contaminants including heavy metals, lead, mercury, pesticides and cadmium, to name a few.
  • How many different analytical tests do they use to assure that their supplements are of the highest quality?
  • How many trained research and development staff including Pharmacists and Ph.D.s do they have on hand?

The company whose products I use for myself and my clients have been in business since 1972 and cover all these rigorous requirements and many more. Feel free to contact me to find out how you can buy the best quality discount vitamins and supplements at 40% off of the retail price.

Help for tumor, cyst and nodules

Submitted by Annie

I am 57 years old. Live in and am a native of New Orleans. I am an RN. Trying to get the best vitamins for me all natural and I have celiac disease. Need D C A all B's you name it. Also iron. Need homeopathic help? Do you have any recommendations. I had a kidney tumor removed and a pseudocyst on pancreas and now nodules on thyroid. I want to stop all progression now.

Sue-Anne's Reply:

Hi Annie,

when the body has cysts, tumors and nodules, that is a sign that the body is holding onto toxins and not eliminating toxins as it should. Ok, to look at vitamins, but you also need to get to the cause of why your body is so overly intoxicated in the first place.

Have you been exposed to a lot of chemicals? Have you switched to only organic as much as possible to avoid pesticides and herbicides etc? Are you drinking about 8 glasses of water per day to ensure flushing the toxins out of your body? Are you getting plenty of fresh air and exercise?

How is your diet? Are you avoiding all processed, packaged and fast food and ensuring your diet is full of fresh vegetables and fruits, gluten free whole grains, nuts and seeds?

How are you at managing your stress and taking down time and getting adequate sleep? Are your bowels moving at least daily, as they should by eating lots and lots of high fiber foods, to further eliminate toxins from your body?

Doing a lot of deep abdominal breathing and dry brushing the skin is also very beneficial.

Are all of your beauty products and cleaning products only all natural, no chemicals? This is very important!

When these things are in place your body will start to heal. If your energy is stable a gentle detox would be highly recommended twice per year, spring and fall, you can email me for more information. ( we never cleanse if the body is in a weakened state.)

As for vitamins, yes the ones you named are a good choice. I recommend Nature's Sunshine, the quality is unsurpassed and the prices very reasonable.
