The Importance of Supplementation

Newsweek Cover Story Highlights Importance of Supplementation, Crucial Nutrients

The January 16, 2006 edition of Newsweek featured an extensive article on the relationship of nutrients to critical health functions in, “Health for Life: Living Longer, Living Better.” Notably, the article touts the benefits of nutrients and supplementation, and notes that few people are getting enough of what they need to stay healthy. Topics covered within this article include suggested supplement dosages, scientific studies involving nutrients, intestinal flora, and what supplements nutritional experts take. The article also pointed out the importance of choosing supplements based on efficacy and safety, which are only two of many positive characteristics built into the Pharmanex® 6S Quality Process.

Multivitamins, fish oil, and probiotics received the most fanfare in this article as important “nutrition insurance” to be taken in addition to a healthy diet. The authors noted that calcium helps maintain strong bones as it works with vitamin K and vitamin D as well as exercise. Vitamin D helps support the immune system, and helps in combating free radicals. Omega-3 Fatty Acids are “like neuronal fertilizer,” says a psychiatrist at the national Institutes of Health. The brain is 60 percent fats, and it needs omega-3s for optimal function. Omega-3s help maintain mental performance and help nerve and brain cells to better communicate with each other. In addition, nutritionist Bruce Watkins at Purdue University has found that they can help stimulate bone-building cells.
