In the year 2005, more than 187 million consumers depended on

daily dietary supplements to provide the nutrients omitted from

the daily diet...nutrients that are needed to attain and

maintain optimum health.

Maintaining a strong immunity level built up through proper

nutrients can contribute greatly to keeping you out of the

doctors office. On the other hand, people with low immunity

levels tend to contract many illnesses and often suffer for a

longer duration than healthy individuals.

The DSEA (Dietary Supplement Education Alliance) found in a

recent study (11/05) that certain dietary supplements helped

seniors to live longer and to live more independent lives.

Further evidence of dietary supplement benefits are acknowledged

by the DSIB (Dietary Supplement Information Bureau) who also

reported that nutritional supplements help people live longer,

healthier lives.

Dietary supplements can also help reduce healthcare costs in the

billions of dollars by off-setting healthcare expenses through

better health attained and maintained by receiving proper

nutrients that are needed in the body.

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) recently issued a health

claim for omega-3 fatty acids. Several other dietary supplements

are scheduled to be added to the list in the near future.

Qualified health claims for dietary supplements are now being

released to the public. As healthcare costs and health insurance

skyrocket, preventive self care seems to be more widely accepted

and practiced.

Many individuals can potentially benefit from the use of dietary

supplements. The following dietary supplements may be of value

to the immune system:

- Vitamin C provides antioxidant to cells, and may reduce the

risk of cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer.

- Vitamin E may reduce free radical damage and cut the risk of

diabetes, and cancer.

- Vitamin A helps support mucous membranes, and the skin.

- Selenium may help protect against prostate cancer and is known

as an anti-aging nutrient.

- Coenzyme Q10 may help generate energy for metabolism.

- Omega-3 fatty acids benefit the heart and the nervous system.

People that use dietary supplements can save themselves money,

save the healthcare system money, and in general have a more

healthy and productive life.

Remember...You still have to eat healthy. Get as many vitamins,

minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids in your diet as is

possible. But, you can also consider taking a dietary supplement

to make-up for what is lacking. With soil depletion and other

environmental deficiencies so prevelent, taking dietary

supplements is a good way to make sure that you get all the

nutrition that you may need. See
