Healthy living is something we all want to achieve. Good nutritious food which is well balanced is one of the important pillars of this lifestyle. When a balanced diet is not achievable, people turn to non GMO vitamins and supplements to actually make the diet better for their bodies. These are in form of vitamins and minerals, herbs and botanicals.
Genetically modified organisms (GMO) result from a laboratory process that combines the DNA of several species to create a superior combination that does not occur in nature. People do not know what the effect of such modifications is but generally regard them as harmful. Hence, most people tend to purchase products that are labeled not genetically modified.
Vitamins are essential to the daily proper functioning of the body. There are several types of vitamins including A, B6, B12, C, D, E, K, Niacin, folic acid, B2, B1. There are various sources for these vitamins in a wide array of foods. Eating a well balanced diet is able to give all of these vitamins. However, there are certain circumstances when supplements are necessary.
If the food you eat is not providing all or enough of vitamins and nutrients you may need to supplement them. This is also the case when under certain medical conditions like failure of the body to absorb nutrients or by pregnant or lactating women. They can also be used by people above fifty years of age or women with heavy menses. Supplements only help you to get enough essential nutrients and they do not treat, prevent or cure diseases.
Natural foods are used to extract non GMO supplements, for example Vitamin E from soy beans or corn. They can also be made synthetically with however lower efficacy compared to those extracted. In a certain product the amounts of a nutrient is described by its RDA or DV value.
The amount of nutrient recommended for daily intake by a healthy person is known as Recommended Dietary Allowance. Daily value is a term used in labels for food and dietary supplements and suggests the amount of the nutrient provided by the food. RDAs are designed by the board of Food and Nutrition and change depending on gender, age and the physiology.
Supplements are not without side effects. This may occur if taken with other medications or under certain health conditions. The wrong type or amount consumed may cause you health problems. They are available without prescription in retail outlets near you. The content is not analyzed by any authority and their labeling information is solely by the manufacturer.
It is prudent to remember that supplements do not substitute the need of a balanced diet. They should be taken when absolutely necessary. There is no need to take them if the RDA of the nutrient is already adequate in your food. This is because they could be harmful when taken in surplus quantity.
Talk to your doctor before starting a supplement regime. They will need to advise on the right medication and dosage for you and whether you actually need it. Take them during the day usually after a meal. It is not advisable to take them when you are hungry especially for the water-soluble ones.
