The Importance Of Non GMO Vitamins And Supplements

By Enid Hinton


Genetically modified organism or so called GMO is a kind of organism engineered by scientists from food plants. However, many Scientists have cited several health risks to human health if consumed drastically. Hence, individuals prefer processed foods without GMO ingredients. More and more people are demanding GMO free foods. As you can see, food products in supermarkets or groceries are labeled with GMO free.

Plant modification is not actually a new phenomenon. It has been used long time ago and until now, experts are creating new innovations. They have invented conversion of the products to vitamins and supplements. Nowadays, people who are using the non gmo vitamins and supplements are increasing because they have found out the benefits of taking them.

It can be said that for many decades, farmers and gardeners have been using the process of crossbreeding for different species of plants in creating other type of plants that produce better tasting, heartier and more beautiful crops. However, this type of food engineering have caused an upsurge of concern worldwide because of its different practice of plant breeding process around the world.

With the use of the modern genetic engineering process, genes from a certain plant, animal or virus are inserted into different organisms, most often are plants and alter the genetic codes which determines all physical characteristics of the organisms. By using this technology, scientists have also created potatoes that produce their own pesticides or potatoes with jellyfish.

At this point of time, the risks of consuming these altered foods are not yet identified, since there are still further studies conducted to evaluate the impact of these foods to the human health. However, studies have shown that it can trigger allergic reactions and may create toxins that could produce any kind of disease.

Since people around the world are more aware of the possible health risks, they are also demanding that producers and manufacturers should eliminate the so called Frankenfoods from their products. There are proactive food producers who stopped using the ingredients and now labeling their items as non Genetically Modified Organism ingredients.

Scientists have created new items in the form of supplements. But, there are still individuals who are not convinced with its benefit. Basically, there are certain reasons why individuals should consider daily supplementation to their diet. It is actually true that food processing, cooking and preserving can also lead to depletion which makes it hard for anyone to obtain the right nutrition for their health.

Most individuals may also have genetic weaknesses that includes the need for nutrients and a possibility of any type of disease. There are also some nutrients which can help to treat health problems such as cancers, high cholesterol and arthritis.

Sometimes you can say that consuming healthy food everyday is enough to obtain the right nutrients that your body needs. However, there are also times that proper supplementation is also the key to obtain a healthier body. Thus, it is important to take the right vitamins that your body need.
