A lot of people get by without food supplements and seem to be doing fine. Our grandparents did not take anything and lived long and without much disease. Why should anyone or I can say everyone need them? Is this food supplements really necessary? Is this health industry a scam? In fact, many medical professionals say a balanced diet is all that we need, so why all the fuss about supplements now? See the video below:
Why the need of food supplements increased nowadays?
- Due to demand of work place
- Due to increased stress, and decreased rest
- Due to decreased quality of foods
As the world population is increased dramatically, the quality foods are decreased due to those reasons:
food grown commercially, depleted soil, pesticides, food transport and preservation, excessive cooking, etc…
- Due to compromised digestive system – very varied modern day diet, digestive exhaustion, infection, poor absorption, etc…
Thus, we need supplement. we need them. Studies show lack of it cause medical problems such as beri beri, scurvy, night blindness, bleeding tendency, etc…
So, what supplements do we need for our body to function well every day?
- Vitamin A, D, E
- Vitamin B, C
- Minerals
- Antioxidants, phytochemicals, etc…
There are so many supplements in the market. What to take?
Well, some people said all vitamins are the same, so I’ll just get the cheapest bottles. See the video below:
Basically, there are 3 types of supplements:
1. Basic – vitamins, minerals, protein, antioxidant
This is for everyone.
2. Specific – glucosamine, red yeast rice extract, milk thistle
This is mainly for people who have certain diseases
3. Intermittent – ginseng, food like durian
Modern day of supplements:

Which has the most or complete absorption? Of course it is injection. It is 100% absorbed into our body.
The second is either powders or liquid. Both of these are very good absorption rate, about 90%.
One product is Vemma liquid nutrition. It is 99% absorbed.
