Press Release Summary = Supplementation is no longer an option if your objective is a healthier life. Taking care of ourselves has become even more important especially because of the changes in our environment.

Press Release Body = Eugene, Oregon- October 7, 2006 -- The human body needs various substances put into it to help it maintain our internal balance. The substances that we take to help even out our nutritional needs are called supplements because they are taken in addition to what we get from our daily intake of food.

"From ancient times people have been taking nutritional supplements. They started with natural herbs often home grown which were usually brewed into teas and tonics.

Now they have become more sophisticated and are available in all sorts of pills, capsules, liquids and of course teas of all sorts.

They can be synthetic or from natural sources. They will contain one or more of the following ingredients:

-- Vitamins
-- Minerals
-- Herbs
-- Amino acids
-- Saccharides

How do they improve your health? Different supplements will help you in different ways.

Glyconutrients: The latest nutritional supplements to come on the market are the saccharides. These are known as Glyconutrients. There are 8 of these essential nutrients:

-- Mannose
-- Glucose
-- Galactose
-- Xylose
-- Fucose (not fructose)
-- N-acetylglucosamine
--N-acetylneuramic acid
-- N-acetylgalactosamine

These nutrients have only lately been researched with a technology known as Glycobiology. These nutrients have been shown to be vital to our health especially regarding our immune system and the ability of the body to heal itself."

Is it risky to take vitamins? Generally, no. Your body takes from a vitamin supplement what it needs and discards the rest. The biggest exceptions are the fat-soluble vitamins, namely Vitamins A, E, K and D. These vitamins can build to toxic levels in your system, especially if you take a multivitamin along with another supplement containing even more of these fat soluble vitamins. Reading the labels is your best defense against this complication.

Vitamins are taking an increasing role in healthcare. More and more people are taking vitamin preparations every day. When making your own choices, keep in mind what you're looking to achieve and read all labels carefully before making your choice.
