![[Myths about Nutritional Supplements Episode 5] Nutritional Supplement Intake Is Not Natural | Dr. Esther Yeo](http://esther-mall.com/cdn/shop/articles/60_a70a1d47-e88b-4ea5-a2c5-92e04b007463.jpg?v=1734118787&width=480)
One of the big reasons for avoiding supplements is a reluctance to take pills or capsules. It's just that something isn't natural. I would like to ask these people to change their perceptions.
In 1998, the United States enacted a historic legislation. Congress passed the Folate Fortification Act, which mandated the addition of folic acid to all flour-based foods sold in the United States. Why was such a drastic bill passed? The reason is a condition called neural tube defects. To prevent neural tube defects, women of childbearing age should consume 400 μg of folic acid daily for at least one month before conception. However, it is not enough for women of childbearing age to know that they are pregnant and to deal with it with food alone.
It can be awkward to take nutrients in capsule form rather than food. However, nutritional supplements are capsules of nutrients that originally existed in nature, and the form has only changed. When it comes to nutritional supplements, it's time for a shift in thinking. You can be healthier by getting the nutrients you need in the form of supplements.
