 The supplement market is a huge industry, especially in, or perhaps even because, current issues with the economy. In uncertain times, one of the areas people not only feel they can have some control over, but realize they must be conscientious about, is their health. Thus, more people than ever turn to nutrition health supplements.
This is wonderful in theory because there’s never anything wrong with getting healthier; in fact, when done intelligently, it’s always an admirable goal. The problem with this goal is that there are so many companies out there ready and willing to take advantage of this. Their primary goal is to sell as much product to as many people as possible, without a great deal of concern for the actual viability of the product. Due to a lack of regulation, this often means that there is virtually no nutrition in the supplements.
There are some companies however, who are so concerned that their products do what they claim and are used to the customer’s best advantage that they are actually picky about who they sell to. For example, they will not push their products on those they don’t think need them.
The other advantage of doing research to find the best nutrition health supplements is that you might actually find a product that is made from real foods rather than chemical constructs and contain natural vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. In other words, nutrition health supplements that will do what they claim and support good health.
In the end you need to eat real food that is healthy for you as much as possible. If your diet is absolutely horrible then the best supplements in the world won't be able to help you or make up for the deficiencies in your diet.
You do realisticaly need to supplement sometimes with certain nutrients because your diet as good as it is just isn't providing enough of that nutrient. A perfect example is Omega 3 fats and cold water fish.
 You should be eating cold water fish at least 3x a week to make sure you are getting in plenty of Omega 3 fats. The reality is that most people do not do this and you also have to make sure you are not consuming fish that are full of mercury or PCBs.
Most people as a result do not consume enough Omega 3 rich foods and way too much Omega 6 foods.
Do yourself a favor and evaluate your diet habits and see where you need to improve upon. If it can't be improved on through diet than consider a quality nutritional supplement that will provide that improvement.
