Wellness Talk -The Essential Guide to Supplements

Multiple factors contribute to nutrient deficiencies in the general population. Such factors include crops grown in nutrient deficient soils, animals raised in inhumane and unhealthy conditions, a lack of fresh food, excess consumption of junk food, heavily processed convenience foods, genetically-modified foods, along with preservatives, additives and other chemicals in foods, pesticides used in growing crops, massive environmental pollution, and a high stress, sedentary life.

These factors cause a lack of nutrients that are required to maintain health, and pose a specific challenge to energy reserves (B vitamins and other energetic co-factors), alkaline reserves (minerals vital for health and bones), and antioxidant reserves (for the basic protection of all cells in the body). Nutrient deficiencies, especially for prolonged periods of time, are highly stressful to your body. Thus, an effective, basic dietary supplement program is necessary to address these underlying factors.*

Combining a comprehensive dietary supplementation plan with a good diet and consistent exercise is common sense for a person of any age, simply to support and maintain health and offset common age-related health issues.
