Falling for Unbelievable Promises


Desperate times call for desperate measures. Millions of people have already been to a point where they are willing to do anything for a sick loved one. Out of frustration on limited medical options, a person may search for days everywhere – the web, newspapers, or magazines – just to get reliable answers to seemingly unanswerable questions concerning health and safety.

Many liquid vitamin supplements claim to be the elixir, but they are not medicines per se. They merely aid in helping the body recover from what illnesses do to health. Think twice if the claim is way beyond what medical evidence can prove. Effectiveness and nutritional benefits vary per product, as well as per the body type of the user and the dosage. There is no such thing as one-size-fits-all especially when health is concerned.

The fad which is selling nowadays is the all-natural tag. Synthetics are now left behind the race as buyers shun harmful chemicals with only short-term benefits. New super foods continue to be converted into food supplements such as acai berry, wolf berry, blueberry and crops which grow, accordingly, in the remotest parts of the Himalayan Mountain Range or elsewhere. Others add mineral water from places with unbelievable healing properties. All of these are promising and proven but only in in vitro level (lab test and not on humans).

Throwing your hopes of wellness on food supplements is not wrong for as long as abuse is not done. It is called a supplement to act as support, to supply what is missing in your nutrition slate and not to fill in the role of real foods.
