How to Choose The Right Supplement

Has your doctor recommended you try to take supplements, but you are not sure where to start? At Suffolk County Chiropractic in Commack, we know all about vitamins and supplements, and we will help you find the right ones for your needs.

Before you choose which supplement is the right one, there are many factors to take into consideration:

• Age: depending on your age, you will need different vitamins to support your needs throughout different stages of your life.
• Sex: some vitamins may only apply to one sex, so make sure you are choosing the correct ones
• Diet: make sure that the vitamins you choose are appropriate for your diet, to create a balance. You do not want to have too much of one vitamin and not enough of another, as this can cause an excess of nutrients.
• Manufacturer: choosing the right manufacturer is important, otherwise you may not be getting all the supplements that you need.

Aside from simply asking your doctor, you might even want to do some research about vitamins on your own. Read about the different purposes for different vitamins, to find which one might suit your needs the best. While looking at the vitamin shelf, check for seals of approval. The U.S. Pharmacopeia test and report the quality of vitamins and make sure they do not contain harmful contaminants. If it is approved, look for the mark somewhere on the label.
