General questions about supplements:
Many people question the effectiveness of dietary supplements. We asked our nutritionists the following questions.
What are dietary supplements and what is special about AgilNature dietary supplements?
Legally speaking, food supplements are considered food. They contain nutrients such as vitamins and minerals that are also found in normal food. In food supplements, however, these substances are in concentrated form and usually in a higher dosage. Food supplements are available in various forms. There are tablets, capsules, powders, effervescent tablets or even liquids. Some food supplements also contain plant extracts.
The AgilNature nutritional supplements are developed in collaboration with nutritionists. The valuable formulations mostly 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 old wisdom. The carefully selected ingredients make the AgilNature products a valuable nutritional 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 guaranteed. Out of ethical conviction, we avoid all animal raw materials. Omega3Agil is 100% vegan!
In our nutritional supplements, we use the power of nature in addition to the vitamin and mineral complexes in order to contribute holistically to maintaining health. Unfortunately, there is very strict regulation of the marketing of nutritional supplements in the EU. We are therefore hardly allowed to advertise the effects of certain plant substances. However, that does not mean that they cannot work. If you want to find out more about the effects of plant substances, then do your own research. You will be surprised at the power contained in plants!
Why does my body need additional micronutrients?
Unfortunately, nowadays, quite a lot of people do not have sufficiently filled micronutrient stores. This is mainly due to our lifestyle. The type of diet plays a major role here. Our food currently often contains too much sugar and white flour as well as too much unhealthy fat and too little fiber and plant-based food sources. If you want to refill your nutrient stores, then make sure you eat a balanced and varied diet. But food supplements can also help you to replenish your reserves.
Are there risks and side effects associated with dietary supplements? And what is the truth behind the criticism of dietary supplements?
Dietary supplements are often criticized for leading to an overdose. Yes, dietary supplements can contain vitamins or minerals in higher concentrations than you would get from a normal diet. However, this does not immediately pose a risk of an 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 takes the nutrients from food that it really needs. However, it is a good idea to have your doctor do a blood test before taking very highly concentrated nutritional supplements in order to get an overview of your own reserves and then be able to make a personalized selection of possible nutritional supplements.
Sometimes food supplements are criticized for being potentially contaminated. However, our AgilNature quality promise guarantees food supplements that are free from known allergens, chemical additives and genetically modified substances. This means we can guarantee a high level of tolerability.
However, dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet. Simply consuming dietary 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 is best to make sure you eat a varied diet that contains lots of different types of fruit and vegetables, some whole grain products and few processed foods and sweets. If you find this difficult, you can always get advice from various nutritionists.
How do I recognize a micronutrient deficiency?
Detecting a micronutrient deficiency is often not so easy. The body usually signals a deficiency with non-specific symptoms such as listlessness, tiredness or reduced stress tolerance. However, if massive deficiencies occur, they can manifest themselves in deficiency-related illnesses. If you suspect that 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 and influence each other. If some of the gears are a little worn, the system no longer runs as smoothly. If some of your micronutrient stores are no longer full, this has an impact on other processes in your body. It is therefore sensible to always keep your stores full. This can be achieved with a balanced and varied diet and possibly additional nutritional supplements. A simple way to determine your micronutrient requirements is to ask your doctor for an analysis of your micronutrient status.
Why would we recommend you take dietary supplements?
Food supplements are often criticized. But there are also many people who never want to go without food supplements again. 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 taking dietary supplements can be useful.
- Dietary supplements can help you to replenish certain nutrient deficiencies more quickly than simply changing your diet would. However, it is a good idea to adjust your diet in parallel with taking dietary supplements, as dietary supplements are not a substitute 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.
- Are you vegan? We're happy about that, of course, because you're protecting animals and our environment, but you should definitely supplement your vitamin B12. Unfortunately, vitamin B12 is only 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. Be careful: vegetarians often have too low a vitamin B12 level despite consuming milk and dairy products and 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.
- The desire to have children is growing within you, but you don't want to make any mistakes when it comes to nutrition? You should pay particular attention to ensuring you have an adequate intake or supplementation of folic acid, and not only when you are already pregnant, but also when you are planning to become pregnant. However, we recommend that you find out more about this. You can do this either from your gynecologist or, better yet, from a nutritionist: in.
- You probably already knew that the body can synthesize vitamin D independently through the skin. But did you also know that in winter, due to the position of the sun, it is almost impossible to get enough sun to produce vitamin D properly, especially in our latitudes? We strongly recommend that you have your vitamin D status checked by your family doctor and, if necessary, supplement with vitamin D.
