More and more people are concerned about their health, well-being, and physical or mental performance. Supplementation with vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients has become a common practice, but there is something we often overlook: not everyone needs the same thing.
The key is not to take more supplements, but to take the right ones for you.
What are supplements and why are they important?
Dietary supplements are products that contain essential nutrients such as:
- Vitamins (C, D, B12, folate…)
- Minerals (magnesium, zinc, chromium…)
- Amino acids (glutamine, lysine, tryptophan…)
- Fatty acids (such as omega 3)
- Functional compounds (coenzyme Q10, melatonin, curcumin, catechins, among others)
Their main function is to complement the diet when we do not meet our nutritional needs through food or when our body requires an extra supply due to factors such as stress, physical exercise, age, or certain health conditions.
Some proven benefits of supplementation include:
- Increased energy and vitality
- Improved sports performance
- Support for the immune system
- Regulation of sleep and mood
- Prevention of injuries, inflammation, and fatigue
- Improved cognitive and cardiovascular
function
Do all people need the same supplements?
Each body has different needs depending on genetics, lifestyle, age, health status, and personal goals. For example, two people may follow a very similar diet, but one may have a greater genetic predisposition to need more vitamin B12 or metabolize fatty acids less efficiently.This is where personalized nutrition
becomes a key tool.
