What Are Standard Process Supplements?
There are two kinds of supplements, synthetic and natural supplements. There are strong differences between the two. Which is better? Which is effective? Though, they are FDA approved before they are out in the market, there are some implications and precautions that need to be reviewed.
The Difference Between Natural Standard Process Supplements Vs Synthetic Supplements
Standard Process supplements are natural and made from concentrated foods of fruits, vegetables and animal product. They are complex structures with active ingredients, such as enzymes, antioxidants, coenzymes, protomorphogens and activators. The nutrients in the food are mixed together in a special way that works best for their formulation.
Synthetic supplements, on the other hand, are isolated portions of the whole. Many studies have shown that the body treats them as foreign objects. But yes, if you ask if they work, they do; only for a while though. Once your body has stored enough of these supplements, the extras will be trashed out.
Supplements do not replace proper diet and exercise, they enhance the body's functioning.

Precautions For Supplements
Supplements when taken in extremely high doses can cause serious problems. They can be toxic if you get high amounts of vitamins and minerals. High levels of Vitamin B6 can cause nerve damage; excessive calcium can inhibit iron absorption; a lot of vitamin C can cause diarrhea; excessive doses of Vitamin A may cause birth defects; and high doses of Zinc can cause impaired immunity.
It is important that before you take any supplements, you talk to your health practitioner first. Ask them what they think, and what supplements they would recommend. A practitioner that does some sort of testing is the best option in finding out what your body needs. Taking supplements blindly does not provide the maximum possible benefit.
If you have to research some more, then do so. It would be wise to ask around or check for reviews. Lastly, if you have to consider your lifestyle before taking any supplements, then do so. You may want to consider improving your diet and beginning an exercise regime to achieve optimum health.
