Por vezes tenho impressão que o mundo dos suplementos não passa de casos como o que o D.Antunes colocou...
Qual mundo? Ha varios suplementos. Ha vitamina C, vitamina D, depois ha feno grego, diureticos, poçoes para perder peso, mixes de algas, suplementos para crescer cabelo, etc etc.
Nao sou fanatico dos suplementos, nao os recomendo, olha dizem que o feno grego aumenta a testosterona e libido ( e sim é verdade)
Porem: As pessoas podem optar, estatinas, medicamentos para artrite, medicaçao cronica. Ou podem por optar por suplementos.
Porque?
Porque tu kitano, por exemplo, se fores fazer uma analise ao teu nivel de vitamina D, verás que estás carenciado ( e estás mesmo; e tu nao queres ter uma carencia vitaminica). Se és fumador, estás carenciado em Vitamina C, E, D, magnesio, etc.
Se as pessoas a partir dos 40 anos começam a ficar com a CoQ10 nas lonas, por que razao nao haverao de suplementar? Bom se calhar preferem ficar cheias de colesterol e tomar estatinas, depois ter dores musculares, depois as estatinas culminarem em diabetes, depois tomar medicaçao para diabetes, tensao arterial, etc etc.
É pena os seguros de saude nao pagarem analises a nutrientes ( testar a vita C sao 80 paus). Mas seria interessante ver, as pessoas medicadas cronicamente a fazerem analises a nutrientes no soro, e ver que está tudo nas lonas em nutrientes.
Metam uma pessoa com artrite, diabetes, colesterol, hipertensao, crohn, seja o que for, a fazer um perfil destes:
What is Micronutrient Testing?
SpectraCell's Micronutrient tests measure the function of 35 nutritional components including vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and amino acids within our white blood cells. Scientific evidence shows us that analyzing the white blood cells gives us the most accurate analysis of a body's deficiencies.
What results will I see?
SpectraCell's Micronutrient lab results include an overview page with all deficiencies listed, numeric and graphic reports easily identifying deficiencies and repletion and supplementation recommendations.
SpectraCell's Micronutrient test includes:

•Vitamin B1
•Vitamin B2
•Vitamin B3
•Vitamin B6
•Vitamin B12

IMMUNIDEX™
Immune Response Score Vitamin, mineral and antioxidant deficiencies have been shown to affect the function of the immune system which can contribute to degenerative processes such as arthritis.CardioMetabolic Testing
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death. Standard cholesterol tests can miss that YOU are at risk. SpectraCell’s CardioMetabolic test offers a clinically relevant evaluation to help define risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), progression toward Type 2 Diabetes, and inflammation. It includes SpectraCell’s Advanced Lipoprotein Particle Profile™ Plus (LPPTM Plus), which measures lipoprotein size and density; cardiovascular risk stratification; and also includes triglycerides and traditional cholesterol screening. Each patient is assigned a CardioMetabolic Risk Assessment, which is an indication of your risk (Low, Moderate or High) for developing cardiovascular disease, including stroke and diabetes. In addition, the Type 2 Diabetes Risk Assessment is an estimate of your risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes. These check points help patients understand that not just one factor, but rather a constellation of risk factors, contribute to the genesis and progression toward poor blood sugar control and/or ASCVD. Results of testing allow doctors to know when guidance, educational referral, or treatment is necessary. Key components of the CardioMetabolic Risk Panel are listed below.
What can I do to reduce my rate of telomere loss?
Shorter telomeres have been associated with metabolic abnormalities, obesity and several degenerative diseases including cancer, dementia and cardiovascular disease. In vitro studies have shown that telomeres are highly susceptible to oxidative stress, which will shorten telomere length and enhance cellular aging. Minimizing associated risk factors that are linked to shortened telomere activity is recommended and include:
•Reduce oxidative stress
•Correct micronutrient deficiencies, especially vitamin D
•Change sedentary lifestyle/increase physical activity
•Avoid weight gain or obesity
•Correct insulin resistance
Studies have shown that telomere length is strongly associated with CVD risk, nutritional deficiencies (particularly antioxidants) and cancer and testing may be a useful biomarker for risk assessment

Vais a uma clinica na Suiça ou na Austria ou em Portugal, dedicadas a anti-aging e antes de quererem saber como está o teu colesterol, tiram-se um perfil de micronutrientes. O que está em falta, entra logo pela veia acima.
Depois junta a isto, a pessima alimentaçao de hoje, com oleos de palma, alimentos cultivados em terra desprovidos de minerais pela nao rotaçao de colheitas, junk food, comidas importadas, e ficas com uma ideia.
