Natural food supplements are supplements on a natural basis. This means that all ingredients in the product occur in nature. This type of supplements do not contain any unnatural additives and are therefore much better for the body than synthetic supplements.
Types of Natural Dietary Supplements
Just like regular supplements, natural supplements can also be divided into different groups. There are natural vitamins, minerals and supplements based on herbs or amino acids.
Natural vitamins
Natural vitamins are vitamins that occur in nature. These types of vitamins are found in many different plant and animal sources: vegetables, fruits, meat and more. For example, strawberries contain a high concentration of natural vitamin C and eggs are a good source of natural B vitamins.
Natural minerals
Natural minerals are minerals that occur in nature. These types of minerals are found in many animal and plant sources: nuts, meat and various types of vegetables and fruits. For example, green leafy vegetables often contain a high concentration of natural magnesium and the body can absorb a lot of iron from red meat.
Herbal food supplements
Herbal nutritional supplements are also called herbal supplements. This type of nutritional supplements often contains certain herbs in dried form, extract form. There is a big difference between these two different variants.
Dried form - These are normal herbs that are often dried by machine or by means of the sun. These are then ground into powder and directly processed into all kinds of food supplements. The disadvantage of these types of herbal supplements is that they often contain few active ingredients.
Extract form - Herbal supplements that contain an extract form of a particular herb are often many times more effective than a dried herb. An extract contains the active ingredients of a herb in a more concentrated form. This means that you need much less of the supplement for the same effect.
Herbs in extract form are therefore many times more effective than herbs in dried form. But how do you know exactly how many active ingredients are in a herbal extract? After all, every herb is grown in a different way and no two plants are the same. Something has been thought of for that too! Especially the more expensive herbal extracts are often standardized.
Standardized form - This means that the amount of active substance must meet a certain minimum in order to be allowed to have a certain brand name.
Example of standardized extract
Turmeric is perhaps one of the most popular supplements of the moment. There are a lot of good turmeric supplements on the market, but also a lot of turmeric supplements of very poor quality.
If you want to order a really good turmeric supplement, look carefully at the brand names mentioned on the packaging and the curcuminoid content. A good turmeric supplement only uses standardized turmeric extracts.
The turmeric extract “ Curcuma C3-Complex® ” is such a standardized extract. This natural turmeric extract is standardized to at least 95% curcuminoids. This means that this extract really does contain at least 95% curcuminoids and that this is strictly controlled by this company and independent companies.
