So many vitamins and minerals promise improved health, but which ones deliver? Dr Jenny Goodman gives her verdict
‘Our food comes from so far away – it’s packaged and processed, making it harder to digest and absorb the nutrients we need,' Dr Goodman explains. 'Toxins from heavy metals, pesticides and pollution push the nutrients out of our bodies, and we’re more stressed than ever before, causing many of our essential nutrients to become depleted.’
So how do we know which supplements to take, and why we're actually taking them? Here's Dr Goodman's advice on what to take and how to take it, along with supplement recommendations from us.‘This will help you ward off coughs and colds, by maintaining a healthy immune system. Vitamin C is a great antioxidant, meaning it can hoover up the toxic chemicals our cells naturally produce, called free radicals.
‘Avoid pure ascorbic acid, as this can be rough on the stomach: choose one combined with potassium or magnesium, as ascorbate.’Take vitamin D supplements for your bones and brain ‘Most of us don't get enough vitamin D from the sun , so supplements are crucial. Great for fighting bugs and strengthening bones and teeth, it is also essential for healthy brain function as the brain is made largely of fat, and vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin.
‘If you take a vitamin D supplement in the morning, your body won’t bother making vitamin D from the sun’s rays – so take it in the evening for maximum absorption.’
