SUPPLEMENTATION - IS IT WORTH IT? OR IS IT EVEN NECESSARY?

4

There are many conflicting opinions about supplements and supplementation among average people, and even among experts. The basic questions are:

  • Are supplements as such necessary?
  • do they do no harm?
  • Is it worth supplying the body with certain ingredients in the form of supplements?
  • Are we able to provide everything the body needs with a proper, balanced diet?

It goes without saying that we should not try to replace a healthy diet with handfuls of supplements consumed daily. As far as possible, we should provide all the ingredients necessary for the proper functioning of our body in the most natural form possible. Natural, meaning naturally occurring in nature.

However, the key statement is 'as far as possible'. Unfortunately, given the reality in which we live, this is very often not practically possible.

Since our metabolic needs were formed tens of thousands of years ago, we have drastically changed the environment in which we live and the way we function on a daily basis.

Our body and its metabolism are unfortunately unable to keep up with these changes quickly enough. Therefore, in today's world, we are often unable to fully meet the needs of the body that were formed many thousands of years ago. The environment in which we lived then was completely different.

Today's world and the lifestyles we lead and even the place we live in willingly or unwillingly impose numerous constraints on us, which we are often unable to overcome. It is certainly extremely difficult.

Consider, for example, vitamin D, which is synthesised by our body when exposed to sunlight. It can be supplied to it externally with food.

In climatic zones where the seasons change, there is a shortage of sunlight in winter. People living there are physically unable to supply their bodies with the right amount of vitamin D for them. Synthesis under the influence of sunlight, which is not only scarce during this period, but also does not reach us in sufficient quantity, is insufficient.

There is also no food in the world whose consumption in realistic quantities for us (we cannot eat kilos of fish or dozens of eggs every day) could provide us with the necessary amounts of this vitamin.

Therefore, it is considered that vit D supplementation for people living in our climate is essential during the winter period. This is the only way we can prevent its deficiency, which has a very negative impact on our entire body.

The same is true of many other ingredients, the supply of which, in the right quantity for the proper functioning of our bodies, is in practice extremely difficult or impossible.

They also include ingredients that affect the proper functioning of our nervous system, a deficiency of which manifests itself mainly in a reduction in our intellectual performance or a general lowering of our mood (lasting fatigue, tiredness or apathy).

This last group of ingredients is commonly referred to as the ingredients Procognitive, the so-called nootropics (you can read more about them in the next post on our blog).

Restoring balance in the hormonal balance or the levels of individual neurotransmitters in our brain, which are directly influenced by these ingredients, should translate into a definite improvement in our psycho-physical functioning.

And this is precisely the role of a large proportion of the pro-cognitive ingredients present in GAMINATE - some of them have an eminently ad hoc effect, influencing our mood, arousal, vital energy practically as soon as they are ingested.

Others, in turn, are designed to replenish their natural (in our environment and for our lifestyle) deficiencies in our bodies. This in turn, in the long term, is to translate into a decisive improvement in our mental and physical performance.
