The Benefits Of Non GMO Vitamins And Supplements

By Enid Hinton


GMO or the genetically modified organism is a novel organism created by scientists when they engineers food plants. Experts have cited a lot of health and environmental risks with these foods, thus many people in different parts of the world are demanding non genetically modified or non GMO foods. If you have been in grocery stores in recent days or months, you have seen products with the label of non GMO ingredients or 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 certain point of time, the health risks of altered food consumption are not yet determined that much, as further studies are still considered to evaluate the great impact of the foods to the human health. But studies show that it may also lead to some reactions and create toxins that may produce different kind of diseases.

People around the globe are aware with the possibilities of health risks. Thus, they keep on demanding that manufacturers should remove or eliminate Frankenfoods from their products. Fortunately, some proactive producers are aware of these concerns and stopped the use of these ingredients and label their items as Genetically modified organism free.

Experts have also produced these supplements. However, there are still people who question the importance of taking these supplements. But, there are actually different reasons to consider supplementing your diet with high quality nutrients. It is true that food cooking, processing and preserving may lead to nutrition depletion in the supply that also makes it hard to obtain enough nutrition from the foods alone.

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.
