Usually it is best to try to get these vitamins and minerals and nutrients from food as opposed to supplements on sale. Fruits, vegetables, fish, and other healthy foods contain nutrients and other substances not found in a pill, which work together to keep us healthy. We can't get the same synergistic effect from a supplement. Taking certain vitamins or minerals in higher-than-recommended doses may even interfere with nutrient absorption or cause side effects. While diet is the key to getting the best vitamins and minerals, supplements can help. They are supplements, not replacements. Only use supplements if our healthcare professional has recommended them.
A supplement will generally provide 100 percent of the daily recommended allowance for all vitamins and minerals. Therefore, many nutritionists will agree that a supplement is ok if nutrient needs are not being met by a healthy food-based diet. Moreover, vitamin supplements aren’t a substitute for a balanced, nutritious diet that limits excess calories, saturated fat, trans fat, sodium and dietary cholesterol. This dietary approach has been shown to reduce coronary heart disease risk in both healthy people and those with coronary disease.
Many people are interested in antioxidant vitamins (A, C and E). Scientific evidence does not suggest that consuming antioxidant vitamins can eliminate the need to reduce blood pressure, lower blood cholesterol or stop smoking cigarettes. Clinical trials are under way to find out whether increased vitamin antioxidant intake may have an overall benefit. However, a recent large, placebo-controlled, randomized study failed to show any benefit from vitamin E on heart disease. Although antioxidant supplements are not recommended, antioxidant food sources – especially plant-derived foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole-grain foods and vegetable oils – are recommended.
Canadian Premiere Nutrition advise to consume about 1 gram of EPA + DHA (types of omega-3 fatty acids), preferably from fish, and they also sell discount proteins. For people with high triglycerides (blood fats), 2 to 4 grams of EPA + DHA per day, in the form of capsules and under a physician’s care, are recommended.
