Nature has made provision for our well-being. He created plants to sustain us by supplying us with the oxygen, nutrients and phytochemical constituents like polyphenols and phenolic acids to protect us from pathogens and diseases. A good example of this is Sorghum bicolor supplement Jobelyn which is listed in the drug dictionary of the National Cancer Institute and described as being rich in Polyphenols and phenolic acids with the potential for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulating and chemopreventive capabilities.
In an attempt to outsmart Nature, scientists have been creating synthetic compounds to replace the natural organic ones provided by Nature. They are creating more problems as they are repulsive to the human system.
After more than 100 years, much research and many claims for promising new targeted drug-delivery platforms under development, specific disease-targeting systems have not yet reached effective clinical application.
Since the mechanisms of diseases are often not fully understood by scientists, it becomes very difficult to determine exactly which molecules are involved and can be used as targets for drug action. Drugs acting on the target in a disease-modifying manner would change the molecular and subsequently the physiological processes associated with the disease. The vast majority of current drugs act on targets associated with the disease as well as normal cells, a situation that generates extensive and often serious side effects.
With the NCCIH guideline, it is a difficult task to know which Multivitamin or Dietary Supplement to take. Following the The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015–2020 recommends that people should aim to meet their nutrient requirements through a healthy eating pattern that includes nutrient-dense forms of foods.
The National Council for Complementary and integrative Health (NCCIH) in their press release confirms that human needs for nutrients should come from natural food and even discourges taking multivitamins or multiple dietary supplements. Find out more
