Dietary Supplements

Wikipedia defines dietary supplements as a preparation intended to supply nutrients like vitamins, minerals, fatty acids or proteins that are either deficient in the consumed diet or missing from it.

In today's fast paced life, junk food consumption is common among teenagers. It is during such excessive junk food consumption that the use of dietary supplements is needed.

There are anti-aging supplements available which slow down and in some cases even reverse many aging symptoms which vary from fatigue and joint pain to even lack of mental awareness. Today staying young is more about health and less about looks.

Supplements are also available for those interested in body building. Body builders are usually interested in supplements having high protein content. A common source of protein for such people is the Whey Protein Powder . Whey protein is available from milk and hence is fast digesting. So if taken by athletes and body builders it is helpful to them as it is quickly metabolised by the body.



Supplements are also available to help in the process of slimming. These slimming supplements work by reducing water retention and increasing the rate of metabolism. Weight loss pills too work in the same fashion other than the fact that they aid to burn fat faster and inducing a sense of well being.
