Supplements…to take or not to take? that is the question.

The supplement hype:

For those of us without a gallbladder, or with digestive distress can benefit from specific supplements. However, what all should you be taking??

First..It varies.. for me i take digestive enzymes for my non gallbladder self, magnesium for my bowels, l-glutamine, and probiotics. All very reasonable obviously.

Second..before i get to the definition of each supplement are you a healthy person considering paleo for weight loss? If so i personally wouldnt consider supplements. Why? Well for one why should you? Your healthy, unless you come into contact with constipation then magnesium would be considered i wouldnt worry about supplements..my personal opinion however probiotics can benefit everyone
