They do have their drawbacks. Each person is different and may react to the combinations of nutrients differently. For example: Some people, when they get too much of certain minerals, may experience changes in blood pressure, hair loss, upset stomach, or other side affects. This is why it is important to read the labels and be cautious when taking multiple supplements.

Right now I am looking at a bottle that contains 500% of your daily recommended Vitamin D. And that is fine, but if you take this and something else that has 300% and another that has like 1000%, etc… – you may eventually end up with a vitamin D overdose. Vitamin D overdose can lead to your body absorbing extra calcium, calcium deposits in tissues, urinary stones, and certain nerve and muscle symptoms.

Don’t get too worried about overdoses. Just remember to take supplements as directed by the label or your doctor. But some other problems that you will have to worry about include excess hunger, too much energy, and upset stomach. Some people get hungrier after taking a nutritional supplement. It is suggested that they take stuff right before bed so that they sleep through the hunger instead of over-eating through the day. Other people get a burst of energy that will keep them up late if they don’t take their supplements early in the day. And some get an upset stomach and should take supplements with a small amount of food such as a slice of bread.

The benefits of taking supplements outweigh the “hazards”. Your body needs certain things for top performance and chances are that you aren’t getting enough nutrition from the food you eat. Proper nutrition can help lessen your risk of getting certain diseases or other health problems, they can improve your mood & ability to think clearly, they can help lessen the affects of problems such as arthritis, they can give you more energy and help your over-all body feel better. Not only do supplements help make sure that you get enough of the nutrients you need – they also generally make sure that these nutrients are in a form that is easy for your body to absorb and use.

It’s my job to know about this stuff. I am graphic designer for a place that produces nutritional supplements. (in fact, I am currently working on a label for a new company that sells supplements in liquid form)

I’ve tried so many different diets in the last 10 years that I can say now, they don’t work!
A few months ago, I came across a great product for weight loss and like many others I was skeptical about it. But I really wanted to lose weight and I tried it (it’s acai berries and 100% natural). The results were excellent. I lost about 20 pounds in 2 months. That’s why I recommend you check this product at http://www.diet-easy-now.us where they have a free trial and you only pay $3.95 shipping and handling.
Good luck!
