Introduction to Supplements

Tremendous strides have been taken in all sectors of the nutritional supplement industry – some good, some bad. Notwithstanding, it’s very important to understand that supplements remain exactly that, supplements. They are not essential, despite their very real ability to change our lives when chosen correctly, and used correctly.

With that said, supplements go beyond the typical Vitamin C pill or calcium cap that you’ve heard of and have seen in every drug store aisle, which for some reason are always near the loofahs. In fact, supplements can range from things that help you sleep, to things that help you digest, all the way to things that make you stronger, or even things that can offer some assistance in the bedroom.

Throughout your journey UpRiver, we expose the reader to various kinds of substances that in our opinion are crème de la crème when it comes to supplementation, along with our personal recommendations of all things brand, dosage, form, and quality related. 

While food should be first in our priority, when used properly supplements can conveniently cover missing nutrients in our diets depending on the individual. Allow us to introduce you to the world of supplements that are actually a good bang for your hard-earned buck, and allow us to dispel myths of obsolete folklore surrounding supplemental vitamins and minerals from A to Zinc.

Welcome to the world of nutrition supplements as it exists here on UpRiver.
