What are food supplements exactly? The tablets which contain vitamins and minerals?Are they multivitamins?
Which age is best to start food supplements?
If one takes it in early age, can one continue it forever?
I’ve heard that one shouldn’t take such tablets bcoz one gets used to it and then can’t do without them, is that true?
Which food supplement is best for everyone?
Re: Food Supplements
Supplements can be in either tablet, liquid or powder forms. Vitamins are not just the type of supplements available, there can be either vitamins, minerals, herbs or other plants, amino acids (The building blocks of protein)
Supplements can be used to supplement one's existing diet, however they should not be considered as substitute for actual food, they can also be used to treat certain diseases.
Supplements can be taken at any age.
One can use supplements for as long as one needs, forever too as long as it fulfills the need.
Supplements are not addictive, so leaving them is not ever going to be an issue.
Any one supplement cannot be best for everyone.
If I may ask, what exactly makes you question about supplements?

Seven seas is a good Vitamin E source, besides you can always ask your local pharmacy for the right Vitamin E tabs available. :)
Re: Food Supplements
Food supplements fill in the gaps that your regular meals don't provide in terms of nutrition. Like, are you taking 10 servings of a variety of fruits and vegetable daily? Are you taking fish that is high in Omega 3 fatty acids at least 3 times a week? Do you eat enough fiber, grains? How do you balance the protein and carbs? Be true to yourself.... having fried egg and bread for breakfast, paratha and kabab for lunch, nihari and roti for dinner, ain't going to cut it! And especially if you have family history of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, you better watch what you eat. [When I say you, I mean me as well].
So yeah, you do need a supplement. A complete multivitamin and mineral, and a fish oil supplement would be a good start.

Re: Food Supplements
Try to take a multivitamin and a triple omega (3,6,9) supplement daily, there are also green food supplements u cant try, they provide the many vital nutrients that are essential but that are usually lacking in the average diet.
