Never settle for second best, right? Then you shouldn't settle for the cheapest, easiest or fastest option when it comes to nutritional supplements, either. Because of changes in agricultural procedures over the past several decades, eating a well-balanced diet no longer adequately supplies adequate amounts of life-sustaining minerals.
In addition to purchasing organic foods and eliminating processed and synthetic foods from your diet, you can improve your health by choosing the right nutritional supplement. Four basic kinds of vitamins are sold today:
Natural. A "natural" vitamin is a concentrated nutrient derived from a quality natural source, with no artificial colors, sweeteners or preservatives.
Synthetic. Although synthetic vitamins are inexpensive, they can cause toxicity and are far less effective than natural vitamins.
Organic. These whole-food-derived nutrients minus the insecticides, pesticides and herbicides can suffer less-than-optimal absorption due to the technology used to press them into tablets.
Carbon-bond organic. A carbon-based organic supplement has living carbon wrapped around its nutrients, which is cold-processed to preserve the living matter in the product. These supplements may derive the maximum nutritional benefit, with no known risks or side effects.
In many cases, it's better to take no supplement at all than to take a poor one. Follow these guidelines for choosing a nutritional supplement and you too can find the best source of vitamins and minerals for your body.
