Top 3 Nutritional Supplements You Should Take Every Day

Flax OilAre you a nutritional supplements buff? Do you take supplements every day by the dozens? Whether you are or not, you probably want to take the products that work, right?

But that brings up the age old question of whether you even need nutritional supplements at all, or not. There are really two ways to look at that question. The theoretical, or the practical.

From the theoretical standpoint, we could discuss issues such as changed diets, barren farm lands, and more. But it would all still be theoretical.

That question is much more easily answered from the practical side: do nutritional health supplements offer health benefits? The answer is a qualified yes. To be more specific, some health supplements offer benefits - you just have to figure out which ones those are!

In this article, I'll give you a list of 5 supplements that I believe are among the most effective products available on the market today. Use these products on a regular basis, and you'll get the most health benefits for your money.

1: Glyconutrients
These special sugars are a recently discovered class of nutrients; they are used by your body to create glycoproteins. Glycoproteins are in turn used by your cells to communicate with each other. Without glyconutrients, your cells cannot communicate, which essentially means your body cannot function at all. Now of course, if your body cannot function, you die. But you're probably not at that point.

Scientific research has show that 1) most people are deficient in glyconutrients, 2) glyconutrient supplements can be absorbed and 3) glyconutrient supplements can offer health benefits.

2: Phytonutrients
These nutrients are actually these chemicals in fruits and vegatables that give them their color and flavor. They are not vitamins or minerals, but are a separate type of nutrient. A commonly known phytonutrient is lycopene, which is found in red fruits and vegetables such as watermelon and tomatoes.
Scientists are not completely sure how phytonutrients function in the body. What they are quite certain of, though, is that they offer major health benefits.

3: Phytogenins
These nutrients are extremely helpful in balancing your endocrine system. Your endocrine system is the system in your body that creates and controls all of your hormones, which control your energy, metabolism, sex drive, reproductive function, sleep cycle, and more. A quality phytogenin product can help improve your health in every area your hormones control.

If you want maximum bang for your buck, you need to be using these three products on a daily basis!
