Vitamins and supplements are very popular these days as people have become more health conscious. With the promise of improving health, boosting performance and increasing energy levels, it’s no wonder so many people are turning to these products to enhance their overall wellbeing.
However, with so many products on the market and the mountain of claims and counter-claims, it can be difficult to distinguish fact from fiction and choose safe, high-quality products.
But don’t worry, we have everything for you.
Here’s a look at some of the most common myths about supplements and, more importantly, how to choose the right products and how QN EUROPE ‘s health and wellness offerings can improve your health.
Myth: Dietary supplements are only for athletes
While supplements such as protein powder and creatine are popular with athletes, supplements are beneficial for everyone. Modern diets are often lacking in important vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that supplements can provide. Even if you are not an athlete, you can benefit from taking dietary supplements.
Choosing the right, high-quality nutritional supplements: Before you try to fill the gaps in your diet, you should first determine what your body is lacking. For example, if you need to follow a calorie-restricted diet, multivitamins could be beneficial.
It may also be necessary to consider your age and state of health. For example, the production of the main oxidant glutathione – which the body needs to protect cells and organs – starts to decline from the age of 20. If you are one of the elderly, it is therefore advisable to consider a dietary supplement such as EDG3 Plus, QN EUROPE‘s multifunctional drink that replenishes, nourishes and strengthens through a powerful combination of turmeric extract, vitamin D3 and glutathione precursors.
People with poor cardiovascular function should take a look at Olé, a tonic made from fresh olive tree leaves that supports heart health and protects the immune system against coughs, flu and colds.
Myth: Dietary supplements are a quick fix
Many people believe that dietary supplements can solve all their health problems. However, the truth is that these remedies are never the be-all and end-all. Therefore, it is crucial to eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, get enough sleep and make positive life choices. Nevertheless, supplements can complement your healthy habits and improve your health and fitness.
Choosing the right, high-quality supplements: It’s easy to be blinded by our hopes and expectations, especially when we’re struggling with troubling health conditions. However, keep in mind that reputable health and wellness product manufacturers will never recommend taking supplements exclusively and/or claim that their offerings are the only path to optimal health.
Take for example Belite 123, the complete weight management formula from QN EUROPE. Yes, the three expertly formulated drinks combine exquisite ingredients from nature and are designed to boost metabolism, curb appetite and detoxify the body. However, they are designed to complement a balanced diet, not replace it.
It also clearly states that users should not skip meals and should exercise for at least half an hour a day with a combination of cardio and strength training to achieve the full effect.
The same applies to Kenta, the anti-ageing formula inspired by the Okinawan diet. Although it helps to regulate hormones and increase cell production, it is not the only way to stay fit and healthy into old age.
Myth: More is better
Spending more time with our loved ones and creating precious memories is one of the things we should be doing more of. That being said, the rule of thumb is to avoid large doses of anything. With certain supplements, taking too much can even have devastating consequences for the body. For example, taking too much vitamin A can lead to liver damage, while high doses of vitamin C can cause nausea, diarrhea and abdominal pain. It is therefore important to always stick to the recommended dosage and to speak to a doctor if you are not sure how much is the right amount.
Choosing the right, high-quality dietary supplements: As with learning about our body’s needs, it is also advisable to do a little research before choosing the dietary supplements you want to take to find out what ingredients they contain. Many manufacturers claim that their products contain natural ingredients. However, regardless of their origin and claims, it is important to know that certain ingredients can cause adverse effects.
Apart from the composition of the food supplements, you should also make sure that the products have been tested for safety and effectiveness and whether or not they have been approved for use by independent examiners.
Note that QN EUROPE, with its long and impressive track record of manufacturing health and wellness products, is a company that prioritizes research and testing of all dietary supplements. Note, however, that there are manufacturers that bypass this process.
Maintaining health and wellbeing
The bottom line is that the vitamins and minerals in supplements can help improve your health and wellbeing. However, you need to make sure that you take high-quality supplements, don’t be fooled by the various claims and myths and, above all, continue to eat healthily and exercise.
