If you don’t know, you could be spending too much and possibly even causing your body harm. Vitamin sales have been growing at the pace of 4% annually and as more people lose health insurance, those numbers are expected to increase more rapidly. The Nutrition Business Journal expects sales to grow by 8% to a total of $9.2 billion annually as people turn to vitamins hoping they will stay healthy and avoid the doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n

So how can you avoid the pitfalls of taking too many vitamins? Do your homework. If you want to use vitamins and supplements to stay healthy, do so with some professional help. I work with a doctor dual-certified in internal medicine and naturopathic medicine. Naturopathic medicine believes that the human body has an innate healing ability. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) teach their patients to use diet, exercise, lifestyle changes and cutting edge natural therapies to enhance their bodies’ ability to ward off and combat disease. My doctor, using basic blood and saliva tests, helps me to determine what vitamins and minerals I need to stay healthy and avoid costly medical treatments in the future. Read more…<\/a>
