VITAMIN INFO There are many groups of people who may benefit from taking supplements. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet. Inform your doctor or health care professional if you are pregnant, have any medical complaint or are on prescription drugs before using food supplements. Children Young children have diff erent needs and require the right kinds of tasty, nutritious foods to encourage healthy growth as their bodies are developing faster than at any other time in their lives. Recent evidence suggests that young people in the UK and elsewhere are consuming far too much saturated fat, salt, sugar, and far too few fruits and vegetables. Adolescents A junk food diet is the norm for a lot of teenagers, in addition many will skip meals, eat on the run and not get sufficient sleep. Pregnant and lactating women Women who are planning to conceive or who are already pregnant or lactating may require additional nutritional support along side a healthy diet to boost their nutrient levels and to support the baby’s development. Women during menstruation Many nutrients have been shown to be beneficial for the endocrine system, blood and the body in general during menstruation. Menopausal women The menopause may cause changes in the hormonal health in the body, and women at this point in their life may be at risk from poor bone health. Many nutrients have been shown to be beneficial for menopausal women. The elderly As people age their digestive system may function less efficiently and nutrients may not be digested or absorbed properly. Some elderly may also have a low appetite due to illness, medication or painful teeth. Often they have limited mobility and as a result they may have little enthusiasm for preparing food and eating properly. Convalescents Convalescents may have a low appetite and may be less likely to be eating a balanced and varied diet. They may also need extra nutritional support to aid recovery. People on medication Certain medications may increase the body’s requirement for some nutrients. A combined multivitamin and mineral formulation may be beneficial. State of health The state of your health may have an impact on your body’s requirements for some nutrients. Food intolerances or allergies Our immune systems may be placed under increasing pressure due to growing environmental pollution, pressures of modern lifestyle and a highly processed and refined diet. As a result more and more people may be prone to different sensitivity reactions. Malabsorption Some nutrients may help to safeguard the dietary intake for those with certain digestive problems. Low-calorie diets or slimming programmes People who restrict their calorie intake over a long period of time may be at a risk from nutritional defi ciencies. Weight loss programs that severely restrict food intake or calorie levels (less than 1000-1200 calories) can result in poor nutrient intake. Hectic lifestyle Modern living has meant that many people are working long hours and are trying to combine work with a busy home life. Often people in these situations may be stressed, do not eat regular meals or make do with convenient fast foods. Environmental or industrial pollution and radiation Excessive exposure to environmental or industrial pollution and radiation, including sunlight, may produce highly reactive particles (free radicals) in the body. Excess or abnormal formation of free radicals may lead to oxidation and damage of body tissue. Excess levels of free radicals in the body are thought to be linked to the ageing process. Smokers and heavy drinkers Smoking and alcohol may deplete the body of certain nutrients and also puts increased pressure on body organs, such as the liver. Vegetarians and vegans Vegetarians, vegans and others on restrictive diets may be at risk from nutritional deficiencies unless they are very careful to obtain the full range of essential nutrients from their food.
