Health and Vitamins – Who Should Take Dietary Supplements And Why?

SS Spoonful of VitaminsThis small step translates into a huge leap for our bodies, which after all are miraculously good at healing injury and preventing illness if they are given adequate support.

And mainstream medicine is beginning to catch on. A 2002 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association stated that a lack of certain vitamins “is a risk factor for chronic diseases and common in the general population.” The report continues, “Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone. It appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements.”

So why don’t we all know this?  Well, as many as half of us already take some form of dietary supplement. So the obvious question is this:  Why doesn’t the other half take multivitamins too? The less obvious question is just as important:  Why aren’t the people who do take multivitamins clearly healthier than those who don’t?

Many people don’t take multivitamins because they believe that doctors oppose dietary supplements. Their doctors may have discouraged them from using supplements in the past. In fact, there are good reasons why doctors are often hesitant to endorse the use of dietary supplements, and it is a good idea to understand why.
