When you self prescribe supplements, you could fall into the trap of just taking them forever and ever because…well, how do you know when you’re supposed to stop?
⠀
FYI You’re not supposed to take supplements forever. Supplements are there are to SUPPLEMENT your diet and lifestyle, because sometimes we need a little push to get our own body to heal and balance itself.
⠀
Supplementing the same stuff endlessly in most cases just means it didn’t work. You’re now in the same territory as using the supplements to suppress a symptom rather than than to fix an imbalance.
⠀
Remember what I said about how supplements interact and can affect absorption of other nutrients? Consider what the potential long term effects on your health could be if you unknowingly supplement for a long time.
⠀
Having a professional monitor and measure results, health markers etc. is a good way to assess whether the intervention worked or not.
⠀
Professionals also have access to scientific data where specific therapeutic doses and dosages are outlined. These are a result of clinical trials (usually many), so it’s been tested on various population groups.
