Supplements are meant to help no substitute food and will never be able to substitute the fat fighting powers of eating the right foods. People who buy multivitamins buy them because they do not receive enough nutrients from their meal plan. In a society where agriculturist use pesticides and what not to get more out of their land as far as food per square acre and sacrifice the vegetables nutrients for and the well being of other for money it is truly hard to get all the nutrients from your foods. Organic foods, and free range animals such as grass fed beef has been proven to have even more cancer fighting agents, CLA, and Omega-3's than salmon. You might have to spend a couple of more bucks but you get quality not quantity. So in actuality you can get all the nutrients you need but it is harder to get them considering the quality of the foods you find today in normal grocery stores you are better off getting multi-vitamins. Then you have those supplements that misinform you or say they will burn the fat but at what cost and where are the studies to back up these claims. If a company says they have studies to prove this they should have it up front and be boasting about these products. Nick Nilson the author of Muscle Explosion brought to my attention force factor.com which seems like a legit supplement but in reality it doesn't do anything for you. You need to find companies with their own studies and with studies from a third party non-affiliated to the company to back up their claims because if it is a quality company they should have quality research behind these. A quality company is Applied Nutriceuticals or www.appnut.com they give you the research they have accumulated over the past 15 years and those results from the third party. They have products that do what they claim and show real research behind every ingredient and the effect of all of them put together. Don't be let in to believing all these scams and remmember if you truly want to buy a supplement go with a company that has a good reputation, ask your pysichian, ask for the research, and remmember the supplement is never as important as what you eat. Food is the best supplement and eating the right foods is ultimately not only the right choice but the healthy choice. http://www.appnut.com |
