I’m trying to get healthier by taking more vitamins and supplements. However, I can’t really feel the effects their having on my body so I don’t know which ones are good for me and which aren’t.
Right now, I’m taking a multivitamin daily and I’ve tried other supplements before like Flax Seed Oil, Kelp, Glutamine, and Whey Protein to name a few. But I don’t know what kind of effects their having on my body. I only know from the brief description on the sides of the containers, like "source of essential fatty acids for overall good health" – for the Flax Seed Oil. But I need to find a definitive way to know and feel the effects they’re having on my body, so I can tailor a custom vitamin and supplement program for myself.
I thought about chewing the vitamin capsules (instead of swallowing them) and tasting the powdered supplements raw – this way, I’ll taste what I’m ingesting and perhaps get a better sense of what I’m putting into my body. Would this be an advisable thing to do?
Any help would be appreciated.
I think you are over thinking the need for added vitamins. Your body can only absorb so much vitamins each day. If you are eating healthy and are taking a daily supplement that should be enough for most people. Taking supplements is not a substitution for not eating healthy. Don’t waste money on all that extra garbage.
