Why are vitamin supplements needed?
The current food supply largely consists of packaged food, cooked food, and fried food. Preservatives, dyes, artificial ingredients, inflammatory fats, and an absence of vitamins make a recipe for illness. Add to that the high stress level of everyday family, financial, and work life, and it is easy to see how nutrients are depleted faster than they are brought in to the body. It is an unfortunate fact that there is no way (except maybe by owning and living off of your own organic farm) to get all the needed nutrients from the current food supply. Vitamin supplements make up the difference. The trick is to know what vitamins are deficient in the diet and what vitamins are needed in higher amounts due to lifestyle and genetics. Applied Kinesiology is designed to uncover those nutritional needs. Laboratory tests are also available to measure levels of nutrients in the body.
