ARE HEALTH SUPPLEMENTS NECESSARY ?
Can the growing list of chronic illnesses brought on by poor nutrition, stress and unhealthy lifestyle choices - be reversed or prevented by swallowing handfuls of nutritional supplements daily? Are vitamin pills the answer to a longer, disease-free life?How principled are vitamin promotions? How much truth is in their claims ?
THE ANSWERS MAY SURPRISE YOU.

Some contain heavy metals,dioxins, toxic chemicals, steroids and stimulants.Hidden additives like binders,disintegrants,filters,flavours,colourings,and lubricants may make up more than active ingredient.

Natural foods are found to be better than supplements. They have amazing disease-fighting compounds which cannot be replicated in a pill form.
