What is the importance of dietary supplements today? Guest article by Pierre Mayer and Marie Blank

Authors: Pierre Mayer and Marie Blank

More and more supplement manufacturers are entering the market and want to establish themselves and their products. The competition is growing and the consumer can quickly get lost in an ocean of ingredients, warnings and wild instructions.

Why are food supplements relevant to us at all? The food we consume today no longer has the high nutritional value it did a few years ago. This is sometimes due to various environmental factors.
To give you a comparison; if you ate an apple in Germany 40 years ago, you would have to eat 4 apples to get the same nutritional value today.

Covering all the important nutrients in sufficient form is a very controversial topic. The body always sends clear signals when it is lacking something. Deficiency symptoms can be recognised, for example, by hair loss, brain fog, severe tiredness or listlessness.

If there is a deficiency of several nutrients, these can be supplemented and the stores replenished. Here it is very important to pay attention to the quality, manufacture and ingredients of the products, similar to the food we feed our bodies.

In practice, this means that the products should not contain any cheap fillers or additives. Less is more. The nutrients should be highly concentrated. Food supplements should always be considered as support for the body, not as a substitute for a balanced, healthy diet.

Anthony William is also very much in favour of taking supplements, especially if the body is burdened with a virus or bacteria, as well as heavy metals.
Nowadays, most people have a burden of harmful substances and supplements can be a great help in eliminating these toxins.
Hawaiian spirulina and barley grass juice powder are particularly good at helping to eliminate heavy metals.

Anthony William, also known as Medical Medium, talks a lot about taking selected supplements, such as vitamin B12, zinc and vitamin C, which all have a very positive effect on the body to eliminate viruses and bacteria from the body in the long term. Vimergy Products are vegan, gluten-free, free from genetic engineering, alcohol and artificial flavourings. These are all important characteristics that should be taken into account when purchasing food supplements.

How do I take supplements and what should I look out for?

In general, there is always a note on the product about how it should be taken.
To ensure that the body can absorb the mineral well, no caffeine should be consumed during this time. Anthony William sometimes comments on this topic in great detail.

To support the elimination of toxins, a juice day can be incorporated into the daily routine. On this day, only freshly squeezed juices are drunk and the body absorbs nutritional supplements particularly well.
Anthony William recommends regularly incorporating a juice day into your routine, once a week or twice a month is a very good and gentle way of detoxifying the body in the long term and integrating the intake of dietary supplements into your daily routine.

Is there a risk of overdosing when taking food supplements?
Yes, there is a risk. You should always pay attention to the dosage and intake instructions. An important note is not only the quantity of the respective dietary supplement, but also its units.
If in doubt, please also consult your doctor, therapist, alternative practitioner, nutritionist or similar if you are not sure.

Important to mention again: Food supplements supplement your diet, as the name clearly indicates. They should not be seen as a panacea, but as a healthy and important supplement for a healthy life.
