1 What You Need to Know about Vitamin Supplements https://www.thefinchleyclinic.com/shop/

2 Many people supplement their diets with vitamins, and they can be extremely helpful. In fact, in the UK, the government recommends that all adults take a vitamin D supplement, as we don’t get enough sunlight. In this respect, they can be essential. However, taking the wrong vitamins, or taking a does that is too high, can lead to problems. It’s important that you understand how to maximise the benefits and minimise the risks. That’s what we’re going to teach you below. Do You Need to Take Vitamins? As long as you eat consistently and have a varied diet, you shouldn’t need to supplement your diet with vitamins. However, this isn’t always the case. We already described how those of us in the UK don’t receive adequate sunlight and so need to supplement with vitamin D.

3 If you think that you need to take a particular vitamin, or you simply wonder if you should be taking any at all, just visit your GP and they will be able to advise you about establishing any vitamin deficiencies. Does It Matter If You Take Vitamins When You Don’t Need Them? This actually depends on the vitamin that you are taking. Some vitamins simply flush through the system when you take too much. Vitamin C does that, for instance. This is why some people call vitamins “very expensive urine”. However, the body absorbs some vitamins, even if the body already has adequate stocks. These can be problematic. Again, if you’re worried about a particular vitamin, then talk to your doctor.

4 Does The Brand of Vitamins Matter? It is important that you stick to the same brand when buying vitamins, because different brands use different filler agents (the things that keep the tablets/capsules together, and which are part of all oral medicines too). This can have two different effects: It could contain something you're allergic too. For example, if you have celiac disease the tablets may contain vegan. To prevent problems, choose a product such as Biocare products, which have a “No Allergen” label.Biocare products Different fillers affect the way the body absorbs the vitamin. Some make it harder for the body to absorb, and some make it easier. When you choose your product, you should wait a month or two to see how you feel. If there’s no improvement, then change products and see what happens. Once you’ve found a brand that works, stick with it. Using a high quality, well-known brand like Biocare products will often circumvent this particular issue. They are popular because they work.

5 Finally, some vitamin suppliers use salt in their tablets – if the tablets fizz, they’re likely to have a high salt content. If you need to avoid salt in your diet, then you will need to double check the ingredients. Some Final Advice It’s important that you do not take vitamins that will cause you problems. For example, some people with high cerebral spinal fluid pressure cannot take supplements with vitamin A. For this reason, it is very important that you speak to your doctor before embarking on a treatment plan. If you would like to buy vitamins, then please visit the finchley clinicthe finchley clinic
