If you were to spend time walking through a health food or vitamin store, you would be led to believe it was necessary to load up on a pantry full of supplements to feel your best. However, research says there are many supplements that don’t work, whether it’s because you don’t actually need or them or because they don’t even get absorbed by your body. Rather than waste your money buying vitamins or powders that are just going to be flushed out, you’ll want to just stick to supplements when a doctor has recommended you needed them or opt to get all the nutrients you need directly from your diet.
“Nutrients, like medications, should be used wisely, internist Jacob Teitelbaum, MD tells Bustle. “Although quite safe overall, not all are beneficial, and some present safety issues, although dramatically less than medications.”
This article highlights the scope for developing therapeutics with new innovative, alternative approaches. The current trillion dollars pharmaceutical industry is in peril where the current drug development pipeline is slow, inefficient and incapable of being extended to multi-combination drug therapies as well as minimally focused on prevention. The complex modeling of diseases and biological functions has been limited because of the inability to integrate large scale molecular pathways.
Watch this Video to understand how recent advances provide breakthrough technology for doing scalable modeling of complex molecular systems to dramatically accelerate drug discovery and development.
