Are You Taking Anti Aging Supplements Daily?

We all have, let's face it, on many occasions tried to convince ourselves that 30's are the new 20's and 40's the new 30's. With every candle blown and birthday celebrated our biological defense clock goes up and hell hath no fury as a woman who is asked her age. Airbrush and superficial make up techniques of those young and malnourished models have further compounded the collective female woes. In our race against the time, hungrier ones don't stop at pulling all the stops and compromise with nothing less than their quota of Botox fill and other cosmetic operations. Not all of us can financially back up our beauty insecurities this way or deem it ethically correct. Apart from the regular parlor visits and gym memberships at exorbitant rates, somewhere our naïve heart fall for those miraculous anti ageing supplements and before we know, it all somehow finds a way to our medical shelf.

This has only sparked off ethical, moral and medical debate regarding the veracity of such medical supplements though, in recent times we have seen arrival of various pharmaceutical companies with their highly sophisticated R&D in the market. So the question is 'Are you taking an anti aging supplement?' or is still under the reeling effect of a confused moral ground? How many of us have been told several times that products of this milieu do not really bring any commendable effect? They are merely a spin off to commercialize on the insecurities of we women. As mighty these claims be, it is, difficult to over look the temptation when we make our next trip to supermarket. It could be all the more confusing as a consumer, with whole lot of age to reckon with, to select the right one from the plethora of product range in the market; all with salacious marketing schemes and inspirational brand ambassadors.

However, one cannot really shrug off from our responsibility to understand the fundamental of these needs and our dependence on such supplements, when there are more natural ways to overcome the aging effects exist. There is nothing wrong on our reliance towards those creams or medical supplements if we have the right reasons, but doing so without a background check is an in cardinal sin. It is our duty to establish the credibility of supplement manufacturers along with the knowledge of its side effects. Perhaps, some of us might have medical exception to a particular product, which is why going all the way to your doctor for an expert advice only makes much more sense.

Decision taken at the right time under the right guidance armed with quintessential knowledge is how it should be. After all, who does not want to hit the latest nightclub in the town and still be hooted at! Or who doesn't want to flaunt that curvaceous back or flat tummy in the designer garment. We need not be movie or rock stars to deserve the admiration. We can just be a little smarter and attain all this and more with the right products and right lifestyle to compliment with.
