Interesting Info About Military Grade Supplements

samedi 2 mai 2015

By Toni Vang


The ordinary diet contains all the nutrients that people need in their bodies. This is not always possible, however, and then they start to use nutritional supplements to substitute the missing nutrients in their diet. They may do this for two reasons - because they genuinely have a nutrient deficiency, or because they are trying to target a specific nutrient so that they can maximize the effect that it has in their metabolism. Military grade supplements are an option that should definitely be considered.

Soldiers have what is probably the most strenuous occupation physically. Their physical conditioning is second to none. They are trained to operate in practically any environment, under terrible conditions or in threatening situations. As part of the most basic military training, recruits are told to march in excess of 25 miles in a single day, transporting packs of about 50lb. Weaponry weighs more than 10lb per weapon.

Obviously, the supplements that soldiers use should be of significance to people in more ordinary professions. Commercial pharmacies stock the ordinary retail supplements that you may be familiar with. These might not contain the same concentration of nutrients as the military alternative. Also, commercial packaging adds to their price.

Choosing which supplement to use involves identifying the targeted nutrient(s) and understanding what you are using it for. There are many options when choosing a supplement, so this needs to be decided beforehand. Using a supplement should also be done sensibly, besides deciding on which one is the most appropriate for your specific purposes.

A common example of a targeted nutrient is Vitamin C. Some supplements supply this nutrient in isolation. Its scientific name is ascorbic acid, although this term is never used in its advertising. It has two essential roles in human metabolism. The most popular one is as an immune booster, which it performs by directly protecting against germs. Lesser advertised is that it also forms part of tissue matrices where it provides strength.

Those who are in a situation of compromised immunity should consider this supplement. Infections such as flu or colds are one example of such situations, as are conditions of deprivation, such as when the diet is decreased or living conditions are more extreme.

As to tissue growth, Vitamin C can speed up the recovery of wounds in the skin and soft tissue. A Vitamin C supplement is therefore useful at such times. Used in conjunction with Vitamin A (retinol), it is visibly effective for this purpose. Vitamin A taken as a supplement is also good for skin health. It's also used in the retina (the part in the eye's posterior that receives the light) and the liver, but it is a known poison when you overdose on it.

Ultimately, a supplement should not be seen as more than its name suggests. It should not be used as a regular item in the person's diet. Some nutrients turn into toxins if they are consumed excessively. Even those which are more harmless can start to affect your metabolism negatively if you use them for too long. This is seen in the withdrawal symptoms that they can cause when you stop taking them. Use supplements only for the specific identified purpose and only for temporary periods.
