Cliff here. I love my supplementation along with my diet. I like to read everything that I am putting into my body and that includes my supplements for the day. Here is an example: If I’ve eaten great food for the day and supplements to compliment, what did I miss? Perhaps, I did not get enough potassium for the day, then I need to supplement! Did I get enough Zinc for the day, vitamin C,D, etc. Cross comparing and writing the daily intake down on paper! Here is a little guide to help in referencing and intake: A healthy diet should include the following essential nutrients12:

  • Vitamins: A diet rich in vegetable, fruits, and lean proteins should provide a person with plenty of vitamins.

  • Minerals: Minerals are the second type of micronutrients.

  • Protein: Protein is a macronutrient that every cell in the body needs to function properly.

  • Fats: People often associate high fat foods with bad health.

  • Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates are essential to the body.

According to the US Department of Health and Human Services and the USDA, many Americans are lacking in four vital nutrients: calcium, potassium, dietary fiber, and vitamin D3.
