Are you taking nutritional supplements to improve your health? There are numerous nutrients for health, but the people who take them don’t know exactly when the supplements actually give them certain benefits. This video helps you to know guidelines on how long to take the supplements to be effective. If you worry that nutrition taking doesn’t work now, here is the answer.

So, in which case, nutritional products give us the desired effects right away? The answer is in the deficiency of insufficient nutrients. Lack of essential nutrients, like vitamins and minerals, makes it hard for your body to tolerate and want them so much. Therefore, the intake of proper nutrients gives you remarkable changes in your body, and you may feel it. In this case, the effects will come quickly in 2 weeks. Of course, nutrition deficiency has many causes, such as genetic factors, chronic diseases, taking medicines and environmental factors. But today, we will go through common and general conditions like eating habits.

Vitamin B
The most common supplements that affect our body quickly within 2 weeks are vitamin B group and energy boosting. Vitamin B, such as B12, generates energy through various mechanisms. But these vitamin Bs can be easily depleted unless you take them from foods or supplements; due to generating energy and functioning as many other coenzymes, vitamin B depletion gives our body warning signs like weakness and fatigue. Take vitamin B group, especially B12, every day. The body immediately goes into the process of generating energy, and you may feel vivid in 2 weeks.
But for those who take diabetes medications like metformin and thiazolidinedione, vitamin B was depleted so much. So, it will take more time to get to normal levels of vitamin B.

Arginine
The same goes for arginine. Like vitamin B, arginine intake brings you quick effects. Arginine stimulates nitric oxide generation in blood vessels. Expanded vessels increase blood flow and start to supply enough nutrients to every each organ. Arginine helps manage overall conditions in short periods. You definitely feel less tired on the day you take it. The adequate amount for daily consumption is 3-6 g. High doses of arginine could have side effects, like nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea; in certain cases, gout could be possible.

Iron
Iron supplements are directly linked to making blood. People lack of blood for many reasons may feel tired and weak. Taking proper iron helps to improve those symptoms in 3-5 days. However, please don’t stop to take iron; in order to ultimately improve iron deficiency, you need to take it more for 3 to 6 months as possible.

Sleep aids
Insomnia is a picky syndrome for patients. Patients are really eager to get out of sleeplessness. There are many supplements for sleep already, and people want results quickly. Products for sleep health are basically designed for taking 4 weeks. While taking certain kinds of supplements, and you didn’t have any kind of sleepy effect in 2 weeks, it’s time to go over your supplement. But before changing the product, you need to check the environment and life habits before you go to bed. Remove the cell phone from the bed and set the bedroom for a good and deep sleep. If you tried, then change the medicines.
It may be the best way to take a product, like a clinical trial conducted. Some products like Silexan have pretty good results in effective sleep. But it took 10 weeks to get an evaluation.

Probiotics
For gut health, probiotics are the first choice for it. Probiotic intake sets the intestinal conditions and bowel activities by reducing harmful bacteria and helping the proliferation of beneficial bacteria. You may get into this rearrangement in a few days.
But this reset most of the bacteria in the gut could be a war. Changes in gut microbiota can produce a lot of gas. The symptoms like diarrhea and fast bowel movements may happen. In some cases, these last about a week. Suppose there is no change in bowel movement about 2 weeks after intake, and you are still uncomfortable. In that case, it is recommended that the product be changed. However, it is recommended to take probiotics a bit longer to improve immunity.

The information I introduced to you today is not absolute standards.
Results of taking supplements may differ by individual. What I think is that the best way to prove supplements is simply to go and take a look for clinical trials. It is not easy way to do it. And you can’t just wait until it actually works. But in general, the effect of nutritional supplements starts as early as 2 weeks, or as late as 3 months. Even in clinical trials, judging the effectiveness at least three months is usually reasonable. If you have a chronic disease and are in treatment, the period may last 6 to 12 months.

영양제 효과 보려면 얼마나 먹어야…

영양제는 얼마나 오래 먹어야 효과가 나타나는지 알려드립니다.

영양제는 얼마나 먹어야 효과가 날까?
상황에 따라 다르다.
결핍을 막기 위한 영양제, 비타민 A-D, 미네랄 등
건강을 개선하기 위한 영양제 고함량 B, 오메가-3 MSM 등

결핍된 영양소 보충시 빠르게 효과가 나타난다. 이 경우 빠르게는 복용 하루 이틀부터 효과가 나타나는 경우도 있다. 늦어도 일주일에서 이주일 정도 뒤에는 효과가 나타난다. 물론 영양소 결핍이 원인이 단순한 식습관 불량일 경우 그렇다. 하지만 특정질환, 유전적요인, 특정 약물 복용 시는 원인을 먼저 해결해야 한다.
결핍된 영양소를 보충하는 것이 아니라 MSM과 같이 특정 효과를 느끼고 싶어서 그렇다면 다르다. 통증완화, 우울감 개선과 같은 영양제 특정 효과를 원하는 경우 사람마다 다르게 나타날 수 있다. 단순히 남과 비교하여 영양제 복용 시 효과가 나타나는 기간이 차이가 나서 며칠만에 복용 중단을 하는 사례가 있다. 잘못된 경우이다.

얼마나 오래 먹어야 효과가 나타나는가?
정해진 것은 없다.
영양제 종류와 사람에 따라 다르다.
일반적으로는 3개월 이상, 만성 질환의 경우 6-12개월 이상 복용해보는 것이 좋다.
