Are Supplements Really Needed For Optimal Health? by emmacom: 10:39am On Aug 19, 2014

The following article is written by guest columnist, Dr. J. Dempster, ND, FAAFM, ABAAHP, founder of the renowned Dempster Clinic.

How many times have you heard that supplements are merely just expensive urine? Have you also heard that supplements are not needed as we get everything we need from our diet today? Even worse, recent mainstream media articles have also suggested that vitamin supplements are even harmful. It’s time to shed some light on these myths.

In truth, the first 2 comments are actually correct. HOWEVER… These statements are only true IF; we ate 100% organic foods, never (yes, that once a month cheeseburger counts) ate processed or fast foods, exercised regularly, got enough sleep, had low levels of stress, were not exposed to toxins, never took pharmaceutical medications, never worked in front of a computer, never used a hair dryer, etc. Of course none of these factors could possibly apply to us… In other words, the majority of the population is likely dealing with nutrient deficiencies.

There are literally thousands of studies proving the safety, efficacy, and effectiveness of nutritional supplementation. For example, there are more studies done on Omega 3 supplements than any drug ever known. How many research studies are we talking about? Well, a search of the U.S. National Institute of Health’s PubMed website finds more than 16,000!

That being said, as in most things in life quality is everything. There are virtually dozens of options when you walk into most nutritional stores, pharmacies, and even grocery stores today. This can be an intimidating task! So what can we do when shopping for a nutritional supplement?

Rule of thumb #1:

If it is the cheapest product on the shelf, there is likely a logical reason for this (and one that does not warrant you putting this in your body).

Rule of thumb # 2:

When selecting which product to go with, always ensure it is a professional level, pharmaceutical grade company. There are many of these companies around, but there are more that do not fall into this class. Bottom line – buyer beware.
