Today, more and more people are using nutritional supplements to improve their health, appearance and well-being. Unfortunately, many people buy supplements without knowing what the body actually needs. Both deficiency and excess of vitamins and minerals can be harmful, therefore tailor-made supplementation is the key to optimal health results. In this article, I will look at the most common mistakes with supplements and explain how a personal vitamin and mineral test can help.

Common mistakes with food supplements - Examples from Zinc and Iron

One of the most common mistakes we see is the blind use of zinc supplements. Many people take zinc in the hope of improving skin problems, hair loss or low immunity. But our spectrophotometry testing often shows that many people already have excessive levels of zinc at the cellular level. Excess zinc can lead to toxicity, digestive problems, nausea, weakened immune system and imbalance in other elements such as copper. Copper is essential for activating iron properly, so high zinc levels can lead to persistently low iron levels. This shows how important it is to only supplement what the body actually needs.

Fatigue and pale skin - Is it really an iron deficiency?

A similar problem arises with iron. Many people who feel tired, anemic or have trouble concentrating turn to iron, assuming that this is the cause. However, testing often shows that the iron levels in the cells are normal and that the symptoms may have another cause. Too much iron can be harmful, as it acts as a free radical, which can damage tissues and increase oxidative stress. This in turn can contribute to higher cholesterol and inflammatory markers. In addition, excessive use of iron can lead to side effects such as constipation and stomach irritation, which in the long run can lead to chronic inflammation of the stomach.

Iodine deficiency – A hidden cause of low energy, poor immunity and hormonal imbalance.

Our tests often show that people with fatigue, concentration problems and low immunity may have an iodine deficiency rather than an iron deficiency. Iodine is essential for normal functioning of the thyroid gland, which regulates energy, body temperature and hormone balance. Iodine deficiency can cause symptoms such as weakness, drowsiness, dry skin and reduced immunity. Proper iodine supplementation supports the thyroid gland and aids the body in detoxification, which improves immunity and hormonal health. Safe iodine supply can significantly improve your health when carefully monitored. For more information on safe iodine supplementation, click here: Iodine with seaweed from Northern Norway.
