Simply put, vitamins are essential organic substances your body’s cells require to function, grow, develop and heal properly.
Naturally, our bodies are self sufficient when it comes to vitamins, amino acids, micro-minerals etc. Our brains and endocrine system are wired to produce in precise quantities, whatever is needed for the body to function properly. For example: Natural sleep gummies
1- Melatonin hormone to induce sleep.
2- Ghrelin hormone is released to trigger hunger.
But, due to various external factors, nature of diet, diseases, genetics and numerous other causes, our bodies are faced with either excess or lack of certain essential substances, in that case, this imbalance is rectified using supplements. For example:
1- Release of Melatonin hormone is suppressed when exposed to white light.
2- Excess of vitamin D occurs when exposed to sunlight for longer periods of time.
As almost all of the internally produced substances are essential for our health, that is why supplementing them artificially is vital to the body.
How do I know which supplements to take?
Imbalance in most of the vitamins, hormones and minerals have physical symptoms that can be identified and tied to the particular substance but some of them have underlying symptoms and can’t be pinpointed through physical symptoms, for example, omega-3-fatty acid.
Moreover, vitamin and nutrients imbalance doesn’t have immediate repercussions but thinking about your health in the long term is the wise way to go.
The key is to know what essential vitamins and nutrients to look out for, to carefully assess your diet, and to consider how your lifestyle and long-term health goals come into play. Remember that vitamins and supplements are not meant to supersede a healthy diet.
In addition to nutrients, fruits and vegetables provide antioxidants, and fiber, all of which are important.

Some Key Pointers Before Choosing a Supplement Brand
All supplement and vitamin brands are similar in their core nature.i.e supplement your body with the particular substance but there are other factors that come into play in the long run and choosing the right brand is as important as taking the supplement itself.
Following are a few factors that people around the world prefer before choosing a supplement.
Plant sourced - It means the ingredients are derived from plants, not animals.
Certified organic - That they are free of any form of harmful chemicals.
No artificial ingredients - In addition to the core vitamin/nutrient, there are no other ingredients that might cause harm in the long term.
3rd party tested - They are tested by a standard laboratory and are certified by the right authority.
Certified Non-GMO - If a brand claims to be non-GMO, you should look for their certification to see whether they are truly certified or is it just a bogus claim.
