NATURAL MEN’S HEALTH: HOW TO BUY SUPPLEMENTS
There are some very simple guidelines which can be applied to choosing quality supplements. It is important to be aware of these guidelines to ensure that you do actually experience what good quality medicinal herbs and therapeutic vitamins can do for your vitality and ongoing quality of life.
There are so many brands of vitamins and herbs in health food stores and pharmacies – all of different qualities and prices – and it is very difficult to know what exactly you should buy. In this book I have given general dosages for each condition, so you know what to look for. However, I always recommend, if you do want to get the most out of supplements and complementary therapies, a visit to a qualified, registered naturopath, herbalist, nutritionist or health consultant.
Tell them as much as you can about your medical history and lifestyle in relation to your health. Make notes before your visit. If possible have a complete blood test before visiting your health consultant, or take along your latest test results. Also take along any medication you are on, as well as any vitamins or complementary medicines you may have been taking. It is vital that your practitioner knows what medication you are on from your doctor so they can discuss any contraindications in relation to your vitamins and herbs. They can sort out if they are suitable in dosage and quality and also check on expiry dates.
