Scientifically developed nutritional supplements by type.
Nutrition is interpreted as the study of the organic process by which an organism assimilates and uses food and liquids for normal functioning, growth and maintenance and to maintain the balance between health and disease. Also included is the idea of an optimal balance of nutrients and whole foods, to enable the optimal performance of the body.
We are proud to feature vitamins and nutritional supplements carefully developed to provide the highest quality of supplement available.
Adequate nutrition contributes to three outcomes which are necessary for the organism’s normal functioning.
These are:
Adequate energy levels
Maintaining proper body structures and processes, e.g. muscle function, immune protection, bone density and strength
Repair and development of all of the organism’s systems.
In the case of humans, ‘normal functioning’ is affected by a range of situations, which are often open to choice. A weightlifter, labourer, Inuit fisherman, Sumo wrestler, clerical worker, infant and bed-bound person will all have different definitions of ‘normal functioning’, they all have different body shapes and sizes, and their nutritional needs will vary also.
Consequently, suitable nutrition varies according to each individual’s situation, and to some extent on the choice of lifestyle. Athletes may need high levels of protein and energy to enable high performance and repair for the high stresses on their body. People working hard in a cold environment may need high fat levels in their diets, to help maintain normal body temperature. This beneficial high fat level may be very harmful for people in other situations, eg a sedentary worker in an air-conditioned office.
So the aim of good nutrition in terms of body maintenance, repair and functioning will be often relative to the choices and circumstances of the individual.
Unless a vitamin or nutritional supplements' ingredients are absorbable into the system, the benefit required is not achieved even if the product contains every thing the label says. Numerous studies have revealed, some vitamin supplements may not even contain the actual ingredients according to the label.
So, it is SAFER to choose vitamin supplements from companies that meet U.S. Pharmacopeia Standards (USPs) for Potency, Uniformity, Disintegration & Dissolution. The following manufacturers have met the USP’s and we are proud to offer their products:
