Essay on Supplements as vitamins and minerals

In the present age, people are taking Supplements as vitamins and minerals for a balanced and healthful diet. However, research by Nhs.uk in 2018 has proved that supplements are risky for the human being as in the case of over-consumption and wrong selection major side effects of the supplements include headache, liver damages, nausea, and vomiting (Maffei, 2003). However, it is also said that overconsumption of the supplements can cause cancer also. Therefore, research supports the idea that supplements should be under the control of the Health ministry. Considering the cases of side effects and wrong use of the supplements the best idea to take control over the situation is to provide professional training to the doctors and medical staff about the right and safe use of supplements. Maffei in 2003 conclude that limitations set by the health ministry on the open sales of the supplements in the society can help us reduce the possible risk associated with supplements regarding our health (Nhs.uk, 2018).
