Why Supplements are Better than Drugs, Sometimes

Why Supplements are Better than Drugs, Sometimes

In a recent article on yahoo.com front page, it talked about a study that indicated using nutritional supplement could be dangerous to your health. When reading these types of studies, I always like to see who puts out the study and who sponsored it. The medical industry always sponsors studies that point to a detrimental effect, when using nutritional supplements. It seems to me that the medical industry is quite happy to keep you sick so that you can provide them with a continual doctor and hospital visits and purchase drugs.

Hi, Rudy, Nutritionist, here again, to give you some good information on supplements and their use.

Drug Side effects

Many other studies indicate those who use nutritional supplements have fewer diseases, less illness, and live longer. Supplements are different than drugs in that it is hard to overdose on supplements. Of course, you have some vitamins or minerals that can cause side effects, if you take too much of them. But have you ever heard of someone dying because they took too much of nutritional supplement?

Yes, there are cases where specific herbs or nutrients lead to deaths, but some times we don’t know all of the complications the individual had. With drugs, however, there are 1000’s of people who die each year by the drug’s side effect. There are over 40,000 or more people who die each year because of their overuse of NSAID type medication. In 2018 over 46,000 plus people died from an opioid overdose.

Using Supplements

Supplements are like food and are best use before or after you start a meal. Taking vitamin B’s on an empty stomach will give you a stomach ache, so take it with your meals.

Using nutritional supplements on an empty stomach is not a good idea since vitamins and minerals all work together to get absorbed by your body. Your liver sees supplements as food and is happy to process them, whereas it sees drugs as poison and proceeds to detoxify or store them throughout your body.

You can take your vitamins with your smoothie. The thicker liquid helps to move bigger pills past your throat.

The daily dose for vitamin C is around 3000 to 6000 per day. If you are sick you want to take 2 to 3 times as much spread over 8 to 10 hours.

Sometimes it is ok to take certain vitamins, minerals, or nutrients on an empty stomach and this depends on whether you are targeting a specific body issue. When you have an illness that you want to work on, using the recommended amount on the bottle will not work, since you have a condition that needs a good powerful dose. Typically, you want to take 2 to 3 times the recommended dose.

Using nutritional supplements to make up for a poor diet is not recommended. Concentrate first on eating a good diet and then start adding supplements to that diet. The best changes you can make to a diet are to eat more raw fruits and vegetables. It is these foods that contain the life energy source and nutrients that your body needs.
