General questions about supplements:
Many people question the effectiveness of nutritional supplements. We asked our nutritionist: inside the following questions.
What are dietary supplements and what is special about AgilNature dietary supplements?
From a legal perspective, nutritional supplements are considered foods. They contain nutrients such as vitamins and minerals that are also found in normal foods. However, in dietary supplements these substances are present in concentrated form and usually in higher dosages. Dietary supplements are offered in various dosage forms. There are tablets, capsules, powders, effervescent tablets or even liquids. Plant extracts can also be found in some dietary supplements.
The AgilNature dietary supplements are developed in collaboration with nutritionists. The valuable formulations usually consist of a mineral and vitamin complex combined with plant extracts and are specifically tailored to their functions. The formulation combines the latest scientific findings with tried and tested ancient wisdom. The carefully selected ingredients make AgilNature products a valuable dietary supplement. The AgilNature nutritional supplements are high-quality products that are developed and manufactured according to the strict guidelines of the AgilNature quality promise. By avoiding known allergens, chemical additives and genetically modified substances, a high level of tolerability is ensured. Out of ethical conviction, we avoid all animal raw materials. GreenAgil is 100% vegan!
In our NEMs, we use the power of nature in addition to the vitamin and mineral complexes in order to be able to contribute holistically to maintaining health. Unfortunately, there is very strict regulation of the marketing of dietary supplements in the EU. We are therefore hardly allowed to advertise the effects of certain plant substances. However, that doesn't mean they can't work. If you want to find out more about the effects of plant substances, then educate yourself. You will be surprised at the power the plants have!
Why does my body need additional micronutrients?
Unfortunately, many people today do not have sufficient micronutrient stores. This is mainly due to our lifestyle. Diet plays a big role here. Our food currently often contains too much sugar and light flours as well as too much unhealthy fat and too little fiber and plant-based food sources. If you want to replenish your nutrient stores, pay attention to a balanced and varied diet. But nutritional supplements can also help you fill your reserves.
How do I recognize a micronutrient deficiency?
Recognizing a micronutrient deficiency is often not that easy. The body usually signals a deficiency with non-specific symptoms such as listlessness, fatigue or reduced stress tolerance. However, if massive deficiencies occur, these can manifest themselves in deficiency-related illnesses. However, if you suspect this is the case for you, you should see a doctor.
However, most micronutrient deficiencies are not that severe. To illustrate this, you can compare people to gears that mesh with each other and influence each other. If some of the gears are already a little worn, the system no longer runs smoothly. If some of your micronutrient stores are no longer full, this has an impact on other processes in your body. So it makes sense to always keep your storage well filled. This can be achieved with a balanced and varied diet and possibly additional nutritional supplements. A simple way to determine your micronutrient needs is to ask your doctor for an analysis of your micronutrient status.
Are there risks and side effects with dietary supplements? And what's wrong with the criticism of dietary supplements?
Dietary supplements are repeatedly criticized for leading to overdose. Yes, dietary supplements can contain vitamins or minerals in higher concentrations than you would consume with a normal diet. However, this does not immediately pose a risk of overdose. Many people actually have too few micronutrients in their stores.
Our body also has numerous sophisticated regulatory mechanisms, so that in many cases it only gets the nutrients from food that it really needs. However, it makes sense to have a blood analysis done by your family doctor before taking very highly concentrated dietary supplements in order to get an overview of your own stores so that you can then make a personalized selection of possible dietary supplements.
Sometimes dietary supplements are criticized for possibly being contaminated. However, our AgilNature quality promise guarantees dietary supplements that are free of known allergens, chemical additives and genetically modified substances. This means we can guarantee a high level of tolerability.
However, dietary supplements are not a replacement for a balanced and varied diet. Simply consuming nutritional supplements is often not enough to do your body any good. If you want to get to the root of the reasons for your micronutrient deficiencies, you should start where you get most of your nutrients from: your diet. It's best to eat a varied diet that contains many different types of fruit and vegetables, some whole grain products and few processed products and sweets. If you find this difficult, you can always get advice from various nutritionists.
Why would we recommend taking nutritional supplements?
Dietary supplements are repeatedly criticized. But there are also a lot of people who never want to do without nutritional supplements again. Now who is right?
Unfortunately, this question cannot be answered clearly, but in the following lines we would like to give you a few reasons why we believe that consuming nutritional supplements can make sense.
- Dietary supplements can help you replenish certain nutrient deficiencies more quickly than simply changing your diet. Nevertheless, it makes sense to adapt your diet in parallel to consuming dietary supplements, because dietary supplements are not a replacement for a balanced and varied diet.
- The AgilNature nutritional supplements are also specially formulated to provide you with the best possible combination of minerals, vitamins and selected plant extracts for a specific goal.
- Do you eat vegan? Of course we're happy about that because you're protecting the animals and our environment, but you should also definitely supplement with vitamin B12. Unfortunately, vitamin B12 can only be found in foods of animal origin and cannot be produced by the body itself. It is therefore essential for you to take vitamin B12 as a dietary supplement or in fortified foods. Attention: Vegetarians also often have a vitamin B12 level that is too low despite consuming milk and milk products as well as eggs. It is therefore advisable for both vegans and vegetarians to have their vitamin B12 status and other critical micronutrients such as iron checked regularly by their family doctor.
- Do you have a growing desire to have children, but you don't want to do anything wrong when it comes to nutrition? Here you should pay particular attention to a sufficient intake or supplementation of folic acid and not only when you are already pregnant, but also when you plan to become pregnant. However, we recommend that you find out more about this. You can do this either with your gynecologist or, better yet, with a nutritionist.
- You probably already knew that the body can synthesize vitamin D independently through the skin. But do you also know that in winter, due to the position of the sun, especially in our latitudes, it is almost impossible to get enough sun to adequately produce vitamin D? Here, too, we strongly recommend that you have your vitamin D status checked by your family doctor and, if necessary, supplement with vitamin D.
