Organic diet

The nutrients in supplements are either extracted from food sources or synthetically made in order to increase the quality of nutritional value of a product. They are specially formulated and scientifically studied to effectively manage symptoms and improve outcomes. But supplement consumption is not an ultimate solution, nutritional needs should be met primarily through diet.
In Pakistan, flattering advertisements and campaigns urge parents to consume or in fact replace basic diet with supplements. Parents should always consult a pediatrician or any other concerned health expert before giving supplements to their children.
