5 principles of helping yourself with food supplements

​

1. Documentation – Very ordinary set of blood tests before, during and every few weeks. Magic happens when you check all levels in advance. Surprises in blood levels are a bad idea to a Chronic

2. Ease into it – start with small dosage and up your intake slowly (every three days, a bit more). Stop whatever shows no effect and of course, stop at once and go see your doctor if it makes you feel worse. No supplement is supposed to make you feel worse, unless a doctor specifically instructs you otherwise. Magic starts by feeling better, not worse.

3. Never add more than one at once. This will make sure you will know if the new supplement is causing any problems. Always add one ingredient at a time to your potion, so it will be easy to find what has an effect at all.

4. Accept the fact that sometimes very little is known about the effects - but never take supplements which are less than 5 years on the market. A lot of supplements are still being studied and the nutritional studies that exists from the past mostly focused on healthy people. You are different and as a wizard it is possible vitamin D will have more benefits than are currently known, for instance.

5. Read extensively on everything you consume. Avoid everything which will cook you on the inside - coloring, preservatives, sugar substitutes, added flavor enhancers and high sodium. Caution: These are everywhere.
