MANHATTAN— Before taking a daily vitamin or dietary supplement, you might want to think about what you're really consuming, says a Kansas State 1xbet online sports betting human nutritionist.
"Supplements are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration like other drugs are regulated, which is something I think a lot of people don't realize," said Brian 1xbet online sports betting , assistant professor of human nutrition.
1xbet online sports betting researches supplements to see if the ingredients listed on the label actually match what is found in the bottle. His 1xbet online spo found that prostate supplements, which may reduce the risk of prostate cancer, are usually true to the label.
"Our research found that the prostate supplements that listed the ingredients on the bottle were the ones that generally contained those ingredients," 1xbet online sports betting said.
If you want to get the most accurate product, 1xbet online sports betting says look for the bottles with the more descriptive labels. Also, paying a little extra will usually get you the ingredients you are seeking.
"You should probably avoid buying the cheapest supplement available because if the manufacturer is cutting corners to get the price really cheap, they probably are not going through the same amount of standard that the manufacturers of more expensive products are," 1xbet online sports betting said.
Another tip: Don't expect supplements to make up for a bad diet.
“Vitamins and minerals will prevent deficiency, but it's not going to make up for a lot of the chronic disease risks that come with an unhealthy diet," 1xbet online sports betting said.
