Nutrition Roundup
A look at new and improved nutrition products

A healthy diet is defined at Nutrition.gov (www.nutrition.gov) as “one that provides enough of each essential nutrient, contains a variety of foods from all of the basic food groups, provides adequate energy to maintain a healthy weight, and does not contain excess fat, sugar, salt, or alcohol.”

With busy on-the-go schedules, people may not be getting all the vitamins and nutrients they need — which can lead to other health issues such as obesity, high blood pressure, and illnesses. Perhaps that’s why Americans spend billions of dollars annually on nutrition supplements, vitamins, minerals, and herbs.

Chiropractic Economics asked nutrition companies for information on some their latest products and even some old ones that may be new or improved. A number of these submissions are present here and others will run in future issues so you will always be up-to-date.

Please keep in mind that all information is provided by the manufacturers and that Chiropractic Economics does not test nor endorse any specific product.
