Taking supplements is a guessing game for most people. The variety of supplements available now is absolutely huge and every week there is the new 'best supplement of all time that cures every disease going'. The current 'in' supplements include vitamin D and CBD oil.
As with all new supplements, CBD oil seems to be able to cure everything. I have a few things to say about this. Firstly, the same remedy won’t help everyone as we are all different. Secondly, if there was something that 'cured' everything and everybody then wouldn’t we all be taking it? I’m sure you can recognise this isn’t happening. Saying this, I’m sure CBD oil does help a wide range of issues and many people are getting amazing results. We actually stock a fantastic liquid supplement in the clinic that includes CBD oil in it’s ingredients called SOS Oncare.
So what can be done for selecting the correct supplements for YOU (because everyone is different)? The best thing you can do is have a consultation with a professional that understands how to match your symptoms and it’s underlying cause to the correct supplements that will be most effective. In this way, you will have a targeted approach catered to you as an individual, not simply to the condition you have.
Let’s look at a few examples:
Probiotics
Probiotics are fantastic supplements and I personally recommend them a great deal. However, they are not the be all and end all of supplements to help digestive problems. We also have specific enzymes to help digestion in the stomach and other supplements that contain ingredients to help heal the gut wall, plus others that contain herbs to naturally help balance out bacteria, viruses, candida and parasites. These typically are not all found in the same supplement so you need to understand the underlying problem and prescribe the correct remedies.
Glucosamine
A supplement that has hugely varying results is glucosamine which can help arthritis and joint pain. The thought is that it is the ingredient that the body will use to repair cartilage. Therefore adding more to the diet will allow the body to put it into the joint and so slow arthritis and lessen pain. But what if the body doesn’t have enough of the other vitamins and minerals needed to turn that supplement into what the joint needs? This means the supplement will go to waste and be ineffective. Without a better understanding of the overall health of the person and their deficiencies, the arthritis symptoms may continue and glucosamine blamed as being ineffective and hope lost about supplements being able to help.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D has been big in the news for quite some time now and is even commonly recommended to be taken by GP’s and the NHS. New research has revealed that magnesium plays a role in vitamin D working correctly and so a magnesium deficiency may affect your vitamin D levels. Therefore correcting a magnesium deficiency may help you utilise vitamin D far better and you may not have a deficiency in the first place. Magnesium is very well known to be commonly deficient across the population, as is vitamin D.
Conclusion
It should be realised that ALL vitamins and minerals are needed for health, not just single ones randomly blasted in high doses. Each of us may require more or less of each one according to our genetics, the issue/disease we have, where we are from in the world, our individual metabolism, our digestion and absorption to name only a few reasons. Taking high doses of single minerals can even have the knock-on effect of REDUCING other minerals, as they all tend to work in balance.
