Are Daily Supplements the Answer?
One of the biggest questions that many people face when taking supplements is whether or not it is important to take them on a daily basis or on an as-needed basis. Unfortunately, the answer to this question can vary greatly depending on what school of thought you prescribe to. Additionally, the answer can vary based upon what kind of supplements you are talking about. Here is a quick look at some of the commonly used supplements and how often you should take them
Multi-vitamin
A daily multi-vitamin such as BeachBody MultiVit is definitely designed for everyday use. The reason that multivitamins should be taken daily is simple. It is impossible to diagnose an acute deficiency without some type of symptom. However, many vitamin deficiencies do not have any symptoms until your case becomes very serious. That means that you could be lacking a variety of vitamins and minerals and never know it. This is especially true for active people following a calorie restrictive diet.
Immune Boosters
There are a variety of different immune booster supplements on the market such as the BeachBody Herbal Immune Boost. When it comes to this type of supplement there are two different schools of thought. The first is that in order to benefit from these types of supplements, you need to take them on a daily basis in order to see the benefit. The second school of thought is that if you take these types of supplements on a daily basis, your body can become used to them, which means you will see a more limited benefit. A good rule of thumb to follow is the more stress you place your body under, the more likely you will benefit from taking Herbal Immune Boost on a daily basis. Remember an intense workout program can place a lot of stress on your body.
Specific Vitamin Supplements
There are also a lot of supplements designed to focus on a specific set of vitamins such as BeachBody's Core Cal-Mag or Core Omega 3. Some people prefer to only take these types of supplements when they know that there diet will lack these vitamins on a certain day, whereas other people will take them daily. In general, if your body has too much of a certain vitamin, it will not use all of it and instead pass it through your system. That means that taking extra calcium may not help. This is especially true for fat soluble nutrients because once your body packs enough of that vitamin in reserve, it will not process as much of it on a daily basis. Vitamin D is an excellent example of this.
As you can see, deciding whether to take a supplement on a daily basis or as-needed basis is dependent on a variety of variables. However, by planning ahead and using some common sense, you will likely be able to make the right decision.
