Discover Which Supplement Is Best For You & Your Health Needs

The expansive world of dietary supplements can be…overwhelming, to say the least. Broadly speaking, as humans we all have similar general needs for nutrition, sleep, and exercise, but an individual's supplement regimen is 100% tailored to their unique health concerns and needs. 

The personalized nature of supplementation is what makes it such an incredible tool for optimizing well-being! And with the right guidance and science-backed information, it doesn't have to be so complicated and confusing. 

At mindbodygreen, we're committed to not only offering high-quality, innovative supplements that meet specific health needs but breaking down the complexity of this notoriously complex industry as well. 

There are a lot of supplement haters out there, many of whom have a preconceived notion that people who take supplements have been "tricked" into thinking they're taking a magic pill that will solve all their health problems.

Take nootropics, for example: This category of supplements includes botanicals, neuronutrients, and bioactives that specifically enhance different aspects of your cognitive health. Naysayers believe nootropics are marketed as "smart pills" that will help you ace a test or magically become the smartest person in the room.

But lots of nutrients that are a regular part of our diet (e.g., omega-3 fatty acids and B vitamins) qualify as nootropics because they support specific actions that promote healthy cognitive function.* Others (like the botanical kanna, for example), aren't a part of our normal diet but can help support comprehensive brain function.

Case in point: Nootropics (or any supplements, for that matter) aren't a magic pill, but they certainly can promote a vibrant and healthy life in targeted and evidence-based ways.

While the specific demographics listed above may struggle to get enough nutrients from their diet alone, they're certainly not the only individuals that fail to reach nutrient sufficiency on a daily basis. Diet, age, and pregnancy status aside, when it comes to getting adequate essential nutrients, many Americans miss the mark. 

Addressing nutrient gaps is important, but the goal is to thrive (not just survive). Depending on your unique health circumstance, there's likely an equally unique supplement that can help address your need.

For example, if you're looking for comprehensive vision support, an eye health supplement that supports visual performance and longevity might be right for you! If it's joint health and mobility you seek, a turmeric supplement might fit the bill.

Supplements won't solve all of your health problems, but they are a pivotal part of the holistic health equation to optimize your well-being, so that you feel your absolute best each day. With so many nutrient insufficiencies prevalent in the U.S., taking a daily comprehensive multivitamin can be a good place to start.
