HUM Nutritionist Alex Caspero Talks Skin, Stress and Supplements
HUM Nutrition is known and loved for its vast selection of research-backed supplements, from hair-fortifying gummies to gut-soothing probiotics. But do you know how to determine which supplements are right for you? It can vary greatly depending on factors like regular nutrient-intake, stress-levels, and more. We chatted with Registered Dietitian and HUM Nutritionist, Alex Caspero for some expert guidance. Read on to hear what she has to say!
How do you know what supplements to include in your routine? There’s so much out there! What would you say are the most essential categories?
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to supplements, as everyone has different needs and different dietary considerations. It’s why I love a service like HUM Nutrition that allows you to take a simple, 3-minute quiz that’s analyzed by registered dietitians to determine the best products for you.
What advice do you have for somebody just getting started with supplements?
Supplements should complement a good diet; you likely won’t see the results you are looking for with adding in a supplement to cover a poor diet. Supplements are also very personalized; understanding first what your goals are and current gaps in the diet can help you understand what vitamins and nutrients you should add to your routine.
