People often want to know if it is good for them to take nutritional or dietary supplements. They ask what supplement they should use to prevent a certain situation. People often want to know if a particular supplement they have been taking will help them or not. These and many more questions I have had to deal with as I engage with people. With this situation, it dawned on me that I need to direct the people appropriately.

Researching credible nutritional supplements

To help people access credible sources of nutritional supplements, I decided to do some research and I found out Forever Living Products. I will be substantiating my recommendation of the use of Forever Living Products based on my personal experience and the credibility of the product. I will not want to bother you with the history of the company in this article; please read it up here.

My experience using Forever Living Products

I have shared a comprehensive account of how I used “Forever Lite Ultra”; one of the Forever Living Products to improve my skeletal muscle mass in my weight gain endeavour. When you are seeking to gain weight, a good amount of quality protein intake is very important to ensure the effective development of skeletal muscle mass instead of fat mass. Likewise, when you are working at losing weight, quality protein intake is also necessary to ensure you retain the good weight (skeletal muscle mass) while shedding the bad weight (the fat mass). The use of “Forever Lite Ultra” was very helpful in my case, as it helped me to gain the desired weight. Forever Lite Ultra comprises 17 grams of vegetarian-sourced protein without sugar, fat or carbs and the patented Aminotein that helps in ensuring proper digestion and optimal absorption of amino acids. Aminotein helps in the effective development of skeletal muscle mass.

“Forever vision” is another Forever Living Product that I used and the difference is so much. I normally use reading glasses and I spend a great deal of time working with the computer. Afterwards, away from the screen with my usual eyesight, my vision will become blurred for up to 2 hours before my normal vision is restored. With the use of Forever vision supplement, my vision improved greatly. After working on the computer or doing paperwork for long hours, when I return to my usual eyesight, I no more experience blurred vision.

From the nutritionist point of view, obtaining your nutrients from the intake of a variety of food is advisable and best. However, a situation may arise when it becomes necessary to use nutritional/dietary supplements. If your food intake is inadequate to supply all the essential nutrients that your body needs, it may be necessary for you to augment with nutritional supplements. In older adults and during illness when food intake has reduced to the extent that food intake is insufficient to provide the necessary nutrient in the body.

Strategies to address nutrient inadequacy

There are many approaches to addressing nutrient inadequacy in dietary intakes. Some ways are through nutrition education on healthy food choices, food fortification and enrichment whereby nutrients are added to staple foods. Also, genetic engineering that increases the nutrient content of a commodity, bio-fortification including conventional breeding, and the use of dietary supplements. Dietary supplements provide concentrated sources of nutrients that are low or lacking in individuals’ usual dietary intakes. As indicated previously, nutritional supplements can be used by people whose diets are inadequate in the essential nutrients. However, supplements have disadvantages.

Advantages of using nutritional supplements

A study assessed the benefits of the use of the oral nutritional supplement in a community and found that it produces an overall net cost saving. These benefits include

• Improved quality of life

Disadvantages of using nutritional supplements

• Nutritional supplements may contain ingredients with unknown safe level for its use; meaning that their long-term health effects may be unknown.

Quality concerns of nutritional supplements

There are hundreds of thousands of various kinds and brands of supplements in the marketplace, however, the concerns about safety issues and quality assurance continue to be of importance for the industry and the public. Though manufacturers are not allowed by law to market nutritional supplements that are unsafe or contain harmful ingredients, however, ensuring that the specifications are adhered to is a problem. This quality control includes assuring that safe upper levels of intake for nutrients are not exceeded as well as ensuring that toxic contaminants are absent.
