One side of the Springvale store is the health wall: rows of vitamins, minerals, magnesium and collagen. It is a lot of bottles. These questions make it easier.
Vitamins: what am I actually short on?
Buy for a reason, not a trend. If you are not sure, ask your GP or pharmacist. A supplement tops up a diet. It does not replace one.
Magnesium: powder or capsule, and which form?
Powders suit people who dislike tablets. Capsules are easier to travel with. Whatever the form, compare the elemental magnesium per serve on the label.
- Switch Nutrition Adrenal Switch, a powder
- Life Extension Neuro-Mag, capsules
- All magnesium
Collagen: flavoured or plain?
Plain collagen disappears into coffee. Flavoured collagen is a drink by itself. Check whether it is bovine or marine. Collagen is not a complete protein, so keep your normal protein as well.
Vitamins and minerals can interact with medicines. If you take medication, are pregnant or have a health condition, talk to your doctor or pharmacist first. Stick to the dose on the label.
