Dietary Supplements

Dietary supplements

Dietary supplements provide you with additional nutrients so you can ensure that your body is able to function properly. Some supplements are designed to help one particular aspect of your health, while others are intended for general health and well-being. Walgreens.com sells dietary supplements from brands like FoodScience of Vermont, Natrol and Nature Made.

Multivitamins

Multivitamins contain an assortment of vitamins so that you can meet the recommended daily intake of these important nutrients. Many of the available multivitamins also contain minerals such as calcium, potassium, and iron. Some multivitamin and multimineral supplements are formulated for specific genders or age groups. If you're looking for a general supplement, look for one intended for your gender and/or age.

Specialty dietary supplements

Some supplements contain only one or two vitamins or minerals. These dietary supplements can help you correct imbalances in your diet. Other supplements are formulated to address particular health concerns. For example, dietary supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids are designed to help keep your heart healthy, while glucosamine chondroitin supplements are intended for bone and joint health. You may also consider using weight loss pills if you need a little extra help reaching your weight loss goals. If you have questions about the suitability of a supplement for your health needs, consult your health care provider. Once you've chosen a supplement, look for a delivery method that appeals to you. If you have no trouble swallowing pills, a tablet or capsule can meet your needs. Gummy vitamins are flavored chewable vitamins that offer convenience for both children and adults. As an alternative, squeeze packets allow you to take your supplements while on the go.
