Before you buy another supplement read this;
Supplements are only necessary when:
• There’s a diagnosed deficiency (e.g., iron, vitamin D, B12)
• You’re in a specific life stage (e.g., pregnancy)
• You have dietary restrictions or medical conditions
Aside that you can get all your required nutrients from an adequate diet that contains all the classes of food.
Stacking up bottles of supplements when your body doesn’t need them could be harmful
Overusing supplements can:
• Lead to toxicity
• Interfere with medications
• Create a false sense of “nutritional security”
🔑 The Bottom Line:
Supplements should not replace real food. Think of them as a support system that should be taken when necessary, not the foundation of your nutrition.
