Accessory Nutrients

 In addition to the vitamins and minerals, a number of other nutritional/biochemical supplements are in common use (many more than I will describe here). These might be prescribed by health practitioners, and various nutrients and dietary aids can be purchased in grocery stores, pharmacies, or health food stores or through the mail from many companies. Literally hundreds of new preparations are marketed each year. The supplement market has greatly improved and expanded in the last two decades, but the wide availability, heavy advertising, and variety of opinions about what is the best for us can make it very difficult for the individual to know or decide what he or she needs. And the literature from the manufacturers backing up their claims for these supplements ranges from common, promotional tales to good scientific research. Here I try to provide you with the most current, accurate information that is based on both science and experience.
