About this session
Employees are surrounded by claims that particular vitamins, minerals, powders, and capsules will improve energy, sleep, immunity, skin, concentration, hormones, or recovery.
During this session, the facilitator explains how nutrients contribute to normal body function, why requirements differ across life stages and health circumstances, and why more is not automatically better.
Participants explore how food intake, absorption, medication, restricted diets, sunlight, blood loss, pregnancy, aging, and health conditions may affect nutrient status.
They learn why tiredness, hair changes, poor sleep, low mood, or muscle symptoms have many possible causes and should not be used to self-diagnose a deficiency.
The session also examines testing, supplement forms, doses, interactions, quality, and regulation so participants can make more informed choices and know when professional advice is appropriate.
