Do you believe in food supplements? do you take them?

Hi pehpot, I'm sure that many supplements are good, I take only vitamin D an Salmon oil. Blessings.

Hi there.. As for now, I would really like to stay away from food supplements(in bottles) as much as i can. I would rather take it naturally rather than the ones in pills. This is because, although i believe in taking supplements, but i dont believe in taking it in pills form. Because to me, they may contain some form of chemical or even made synthetically, which it is meant to mimic the natural supplement. The chemicals maybe okay in their single stage but when combined together might be hazardous to our health. Like for instance, the spirulina may come as extract of so and so. The process of extraction the nutrition of spirulina itself may requires the use of some chemicals and the chemicals may stay in the final product and enters our body to give a detrimental effect. In the long run, it may cause us some health problem. Therefore my friend, i would rather stay away from supplements at this point of time and eat as natural and organic as i can. i will only use the supplements when recommended by my doctors, whenever i needed it.

I don't know that I take actual food supplements, but I do use several vitamins and supplements as a part of my wellness program. I have fibromyalgia and without the supplements, I would probably never get out of bed. I use the following: B12 (I get a shot of b12 each month) plus I use the sublingual b-12 dots daily, a multi-vitamin with iron, CoQ-10, Gingko Bilbola, Acetyl-L-Carnitine with Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamins C, D, and E, among others. I know this sounds like a lot, but with a chronic illness that causes a lot of pain, fatigue and reduces my ability to fight viruses, I need all the help I can get.

I believe in the supplements if you are lacking in your diet. I do not believe they are as nutritios as regular food though.

I dont take food supplements. And I advise all of you to research first about the product before buying and taking it. I used to work in one of the company who manufacture and sell food supplements.It was manufactured in one of Asian country. But they have branch here in the Philippines, and mind you, it was not BFAD registered. And also the company is what you call "fly by night company". They dont have business permits, BIR permits, etc. So legally, it doesnt exist yet here in the Philippines. (Sorry, I cant give some confidential details about the company)

I believed in food supplement, some will make you eat well, some to increase our body's resistance to viral diseases... I take Ascorbic Acid or Vitamin C only, I need it because I'm expose to sick patient. By the way, I'm a Nurse so I need high resistance to diseases for prevention of accumulating any diseases... I encouraged people to take multivitamins, Vitamins and supplement beacause nowadays, we don't know if we are exposed to alot of viruses and bacteria... We should take care ourselves... Prevention is better than Cure!!!

I believe that if a person eats a balanced healthy food there is no need for food supplements. They are a waste of money. I would only take food supplements if the doctor prescribes them to me.

yes food supplements can help our body and also multivitamins...nowadays there so many herbal food supplements for different organs of our body..like liveraide, heartvit, athricin...to name a few...i take roch its for the whole body..and then i take calcium and i eat healthy foods...i am very prone to diabetes coz its in the family so i take care of myself even if im not sick.

Hi pehpot, I used to take them on and off. They cost quite a bit and we can't just pick them off the streets. Nowadays, moola is tight so I can't go splurging on luxury goods.

I dun really believe in food supplement.. I will prefer to the the actual food itself ^_^ Food supplement is good, but only to certain extend only, becaue our body wun be able to absorb all the vitmains or minerals on its own, it needs some other food to trigger the reaction in out body to make the supplement work ^_^ Supplements can make your bro out of danger just by eating supplements?? If that's the case, dengue won't be a killer or serious thing anymore.. Maybe it's supplements that makes him recover well, and not cure him izit?? haha

I do believe in food supplement if that would include the vitamins and I always bought it for my daughter's health precaution but for me I do not have any intake in any food supplement for i can eat the food in any way that I want in any of the time...

I take loads of meds for a liver disease so I need certain supplements to offset those meds. I like to take green food capsules and I use Hemp Protein powder in my smoothies because it is vegan. I like to get my vitamin C from fresh juice instead of capsules. Fresh wheat grass shots are wonderful energy boosts. I used to take a lot of supplements, but my doctors told me that those are really BAD for the liver so I am listening to their advice. I want to make it through this disease without a transplant. My vegan organic diet seems to be working for me. I haven't had a cold in years. Also, one must keep stress at a minimum since it weakens the immune system.

I think that they are okay but like anything else to much of anything can be harmful. My doctor told me that taking too many pills can mess with your liver. It sounds as though you only take them when you need to and not all of the time.

I believe in food supplements. Most people don't get the right amount of nutrients in their day to day diet. Though it isn't necessarily a supplement (like in pill form) I do drink Monavie. It's a juice containing 19 different fruits and has a full days serving in just 4 ounces. I drink a little of that every morning and night. Many people don't believe in it but I do. I almost never eat fruit so this is a great way to try and stay healthy.

I used to take supplements, but I have not been taking any of them recently.

Spirulina is great! It's costly but it really work wonders. Your mother just did the right thing for you. I also believe in food supplement but only the all natural ones. I don't take synthetic ones because I don't want to harm my liver and kidneys in the long run. I am taking spirulina when I don't get enough sleep and I feel my body is getting weak. I also have been taking virgin coconut oil and malunggay capsule regularly. VCO is almost complete, and it is doing wonders on me.

Hi friend,I never take supplements but I include lot of vegetables and dal in food.I see that I give my family a healthy diet always.But they never take fruits except bananas.Healthy food is more better than taking supplements is what I feel.the vitamins ,minerals andprotiens which our body requires should be included in our everyday diet.I see that they have one or 2 vegetables everyday ,dal 5 days in a week and chicken once in a week.thanks for sharing.happy mylotting.
