How Do Dietary Supplements Work?
Scientist's Study How Supplements Work †

The nutrients and unique constituents composition of dietary supplements work with the structural and/or biochemical functions of systems, organs, glands and tissues in the body.

How Dietary Supplements Benefit Health

Dietary supplements work by benefits of nutrients and constituents

Health benefits:

  • Build-up
  • Maintenance
  • Support
  • Promote 
  • Repair
  • Minor relief of discomfort

Nutrients and Constituents Examples:

  • Vitamins and minerals are essential to supporting and maintaining different organs, glands and tissues in the body.
  • Antioxidants from vegetables, fruits and superfoods maintain healthy levels of oxidation for energy.
  • Polysaccharides in mushrooms and tonics like astragalus build-up immunity.
  • Triterpenes in medicinal mushrooms promote vascular circulation and oxygenation throughout the body.
  • Ginsenosides in Asian and American ginseng promote adrenal and sex hormones production.
  • Glucosamine and chondroitin in edible pearls and deer antler velvet repair joint tissues and offer relief of minor joint discomfort.

Supplement Science

Supplements Work When Added To Meals?
Supplements Work By Adding Nutrient Density †

Benefits of dietary supplements are studied and researched through biochemistry, observational supplementation, and traditional empirical uses. They work by nutrient science to increase the density of nutrients in the diet.

Spices, medicinal herbs, superfoods, botanicals they may be used as medicinal remedies because of their health supporting and promoting unique constituents.

Examples of supplement science:

Curcumin polyphenols in turmeric promote circulation into the joints for decreased joint discomfort and increased joint flexibility and regeneration.

Withanolide glycoside saponins in ashwagandha root promote brain function and improved cognition, memory, and sleep.

Glycosides in hawthorn berry, leaf and flower maintain blood circulation, promote fat and protein digestion, and support oxygenation and calmness.

Growth factors in deer antler velvet promote the repair and recovery of joint, muscle, skin and bone tissues.
