Supplements

By definition a supplement is "something that is added, it replaces a deficiency or reinforces amplifies something".

In this sense, a dietary supplement "fills" nutritional deficiencies required to maintain health.

The shims troop and complement nutrients, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, fibers,… through the so-called functional foods, which have been abstracted (concentrated) to guarantee the highest quality and purity of its active principles.

Functional Foods are therefore those that present a special feature between its components that affect body functions in a positive way. This we can find them in the vegetable world (fruit, fungi, plants, …) or in the animal (sera, honey, bacteria, …)

The human body removed from the food nutrients to transform them into vital substances, although not on all occasions will optimally or in the appropriate proportions, being the main reasons the passage of time (aging) and disease. By providing the appropriate supplements complement the nutrients from the food to facilitate the body best activity of its vital functions.

The drugs on the other hand produce physiological effects and chemical, depending on their pharmacological action, stimulate or inhibit functions shall deputize, on many occasions prevail over the body's natural response.

It is therefore very important to remember that dietary supplements are not drugs.

What are necessary? What value do they add?

Are supplements for different reasons.

To prevent disease or illnesses such as heart attacks, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, colds, stress, or because not the flu.
To relieve the symptoms or the pains of diseases that are already present, such as arthritis, osteoporosis, depressed immunity, …
to increase your energy, be best or delay aging or signals that are emerging for this chronological aging or biological
Also it should be borne in mind, that the nutrients that traditionally we would buy through food (fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, legumes, …) due to the current extensive farming systems, the depletion of the soil, the additives, contaminants, and the toxic drugs incorporated are becoming increasingly poor, have reached or our body is not able to absorb them by different circumstances.

In any case the shims have always to be a supplement to support to a correct and balanced diet, which have to be tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual and have to compensate for the deficits arising due to different causes or to contribute a greater potential in the special situations that require them.
