  • The importance of the professional’s recommendation. As prescribers, those responsible for the specialized point of sale must emphasize that taking supplements on their own is sometimes not the most convenient, especially when it must be taken daily or long term. In this case, it should be noted that the professional can detect and analyze in greater detail those deficiencies suffered by the body and recommend a type of supplement accordingly.
  • Advises according to specific needs and objectives. Each supplement fulfills a unique purpose: muscle recovery, energetic effects, joint maintenance, relaxing effect … There are many categories to take into account and each one fulfills a function. First you must be clear about what the need is and set an objective to achieve.
  • The importance of knowing the product and its composition. You should never be in a hurry when buying (or selling) an accessory, especially taking into account the degree of specialization there is. It is very important to be informed and know well the ingredients that make it up. Fortunately, today’s technology allows us to quickly identify those ingredients we don’t know about. You should not only value the ingredients and quantity, you should even study the format and time of consumption . The times at which it is recommended to take it may not be adapted to those of the consumer, so all the details offered on the packaging must be considered when recommending a product with these characteristics. Likewise, it is important to emphasize that we should not focus only on the price, since the correct combination of components and the guarantee of product quality also imply a higher cost.
  • Accessories that complement each other. Taking one supplement does not disable the consumption of others, especially those that correspond to a different field – for example, for rest and for the maintenance of joints. Each case is unique, and if there are different needs, there are supplements that can be taken simultaneously. In these cases it is advisable to have the help of a health professional or expert in nutrition and dietetics to monitor the process.
  • The importance of testing . When you have already studied the product that best suits your needs and you are clear about what it provides, the time has come to encourage you to try it and be very clear about two points. Firstly, consumption must be prolonged and periodic – usually 3 months – to demonstrate the effects of the supplement. And secondly, remind the client that taking a dietary supplement is not enough. It should always be combined with a healthy lifestyle.
