Who would have ever thought that the day would come when alternative medicine(supplements) and traditional medicine(pharmaceutical drugs) could partner together as a complete therapy to address major health issues and improve the quality of life for millions, if not billions.
A CLOSER LOOK AT THE VALUE OF SUPPLEMENTS
Vitamins And Health Supplements
Time for a reality check. For a long time the medical arena has been frowning on supplements. Some believe that supplements have no major impact in the health and wellness of those suffering from major health issues especially cancer.
However, extensive research reveals that supplements( vitamins and minerals) are critical components in the quest for better health.
VITAMINS are classified into two categories:fat soluble(A,D,E,and K) and water soluble(B complex and C) Fat-soluble vitamins are found in fats and oils in foods and are stored in the body fat. Water-soluble vitamins dissolves in water and mix easily in the blood.
Your body stores only a small amount of water-soluble vitamins and excretes them in the urine. For that reason, you need to consume them regularly to maintain an adequate supply. Some vitamins are antioxidants-- chemicals that prevent damaging changes in cells that can produce chronic inflammation which play in many common diseases including heart disease, some cancers, and Alzheimer's disease, and many of the effects of aging. (AMA- AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION)

Vitamin B6(pyridoxine)-- Helps convert carbohydrates into glucose(sugar) to produce energy; essential for the metabolism of fats and proteins; promotes health of the nervous system, skin, hair, eyes, mouth and liver.
Vitamin B9(folic acid)-- Needed for new cell formation, normal red blood cell production and DNA production.
Vitamin B12(cyanocobalamin)-- Needed for normal blood formation, healthy nervous system; helps produce DNA.

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
Well, all the evidence points to the fact that vitamins and minerals are absolutely essential not only for health reasons, but more importantly for life itself. Let us not fool ourselves, we cannot get the needed supply of vitamins and minerals in our present food chain. SUPPLEMENTS ARE ESSENTIAL.
Nutritional experts agree that supplements can compensate for the loss nutrients due to the food chain. So, if you are not taking a multi-mineral/multi-vitamin then you are robbing yourself of good health and a longer life.
