The Story of Supplements

If you eat 'real food' such as kale,

ginger, courgettes, celery, caulflower, carrots, cabbage, spinach broccoli, fresh fruit etc why would you need to take supplements?

I take supplements but the reason I do so is because I am aware that even real food can only have the nutrients if the soil in which the vegetables are grown, have a sufficient quantity of the minerals for the vegetables to absorb.
Thus supplements complement proper nutrition.

I take a B Complex, Vitamin C, liquid multi mineral solution & Co Q10, Omega 3, ALA.

Co Q10 is essential for the production of cellular energy. Although the body does produce Co Q10 the production is reduced as the body gets older. 

Hormones & Enzymes are made from minerals & it is well evidenced hormones & Enzymes are vitally important to keep the body functioning correctly.
Minerals help with digestion & influence the functioning of other nutrients.

B Vitamins are considered to be critical to health. All stress increases the need for B vitamins. 

I myself use B Complex made by Seeking Health. I prefer Seeking Health supplements simply because they are effective & generally contain no fillers & no GMO ingredients.
