It’s very challenging to get all the nutrients you need, particularly micronutrients, from your diet alone. Supplements can be a simple way to boost your nutrients quickly, and in most cases it’s safe and affordable. The best micronutrients to increase flexibility are copper, zinc, magnesium, sulfur, and vitamin C–are all common, safe to supplement with, and you can buy them inexpensively. The exception is omega 3. When it comes to essential fatty acids, you need to choose a top manufacturer, and it’s often an expensive addition to your monthly food bill. It is always best to consult your physician before you begin taking new supplements.
