Vitamins And Antioxidants
There are many different vitamins and antioxidants available in supplement form. Examples of antioxidants include vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, phytonutrients, polyphenols, catechins, flavanols and many others. Antioxidants help fight damaging free radicals and repair damaged cells. Experts will tell you the best way to get antioxidants, vitamins and minerals is by eating nutrient rich foods. The bad news is that only a small percentage of people get the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables each day. Because most people don't eat enough produce, supplementation may be desired in certain cases.
The first thing you should do before shopping for supplements is talk to your doctor. He or she can review your medical history and let you know whether or not supplements are safe for you. Not everyone can take them, especially individuals on certain prescription drugs. Once you get the green light for supplements you may also want to consult a registered dietician who can educate you on the type of supplements you need based on your health needs, height and weight, current diet and other factors. Once you've done that you are ready to go shopping.
Your local health food store is a good place to buy supplements. However they may be a bit pricey. You can save money by looking for the same products online. Some online retailers sell the same products as your local store except at a lower price. And, they may even offer free shipping if you spend a certain amount of money. While you can buy supplements in drugstores and supermarkets, they may not be the type you want. Look for supplements derived from whole foods, which can be found in powder, capsule and tablet form.
Once you've browsed the stores for vitamins and antioxidants in supplement form you should do a little online research to make sure there are no adverse reports associated with the product you are considering. If you have questions about the product there should be a toll-free customer service number you can call. From there you can narrow down the list and find the ideal supplement for your dietary needs. Even if you consume a decent amount of fruits and vegetables you may still want to consider a daily multivitamin to fill in any gaps in your diet.
