A healthy diet by itself is unfortunately not enough when it comes to our Western diet. A quarter of all women and men in Germany do not eat enough fruit and vegetables (650gr) to optimally cover their daily nutritional needs. A quarter of all women and men in Germany do not eat enough fruit and vegetables (650gr) to optimally cover their daily nutritional needs. A salad plate is about 150g, and who only eats salad?

Fruits and vegetables also contain less and less nutrients. One reason is The rise in more intensive farming practices around the world. As a result, our soils gradually contain less and less essential nutrients. Even the freshest fruits and vegetables today are already deficient in certain vitamins and minerals. According to science, a typical apple today contains about 60% less vitamin C than it used to have 20 years ago.

Certain nutrients are also not present in sufficient quantities in our diet. This concerns, for example, vitamin D and magnesium. Environmental toxins, constant stress due to the dual burden of career and family, as well as not enough sleep additionally deprive the body of valuable nutrients, with the result that a nutrient deficiency can easily develop. So it is reasonable to assume that without supplementation, the body is fed up but often starving for certain nutrients.

Nutritional supplementation is always especially important when we exclude certain food groups in our diet, e.g. when we go vegan, vegetarian or reduce carbohydrates. Then the missing nutrients must be supplemented by food supplements.

Nutritional supplementation is important when we have an increased need for nutrients. This is the case, for example, when we have a particularly active lifestyle or do lots of sports activities, when we are exhausted or stressed, or simply have less time to eat a fresh and balanced meal every day.

There is an increased need for nutrients during pregnancy and breast feeding or simply when we start to age. When we recover from an illness, the body needs more nutrients for the healing work.

In addition, we have so-called nutrient thieves – these include sugar, alcohol, cigarette smoke, coffee and tea,birth control pill and certain medications.

If the body is not sufficiently supplied with nutrients, this usually becomes apparent very gradual: Initial symptoms are often very unspecific. For example, fatigue, restlessness and a vulnerability for infections can indicate a deficiency. But also external changes such as brittle nails, dry skin or a pale face can provide an indication of a nutrient deficiency. The best thing you can do is have a blood test done to check if you are faced with a nutrient deficiency.

First of all, the main thing to look for in supplements is that the nutrients contained are made from real, organic plant foods. This ensures that the body recognises the nutrients immediately, a better utilisation is ensured and the digestive system is treated with care.

In addition, the supplements should not contain any additives. Something like “magnesium stearate” should definitely not be part of the ingredients list. This substance is suspected of interfering negatively with the immune system.

Third: the dosage should be checked. Many products appear at first pricewise very resaonable. But if the dosage is three or four capsules per day, the product ends up being much more expensive than expected.

And fourth, the product should be “Made in Germany”, as we still have one of the strictest guidelines worldwide here in Germany – that way you are on the safe side.
