Our Thoughts on Supplementation... are they Necessary?

In this fortnight’s episode, Nicole and Katie chat all things nutritional supplementation. I.e. vitamins and minerals in tablet or powder form. Are they necessary? What should one take and why? What should one look out for?

You should know that this was inspired by a few concerns we have. The first is, the concern that many people are directed towards supplements / vitamins without any dietary advice. We believe in... FOOD FIRST. Supplements ‘supplement’ a good diet. There is no supplement that will work over the top of a terrible diet. Taking all of the pills in the world but still eating rubbish won't help.

Secondly, we don’t believe in people rattling. Whilst we do see a time and place for supplements, there is rarely a need to be taking many at a time..... Know what you are taking, why, how long for and what difference you should expect it to make. Oh and... food FIRST. Happy listening!
