DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS: WHAT THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE FOR

- What are dietary supplements?

Dietary supplements are defined as "food products intended to supplement the common diet and that constitute a concentrated source of nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, or other substances having a nutritional or physiological effect, in particular, but not exclusively, amino acids, essential fatty acids, fibers and extracts of plant origin, both single and multiple compounds, in pre-dosed forms" (source: Ministry of Health - Dietary supplements and Ministerial guidelines).

They can be in the form of capsules, tablets, effervescent tablets, gummy candies, powders, and liquid form.

- What are they for?

A correct and balanced diet together with a healthy lifestyle are essential to maintain and regulate the well-being of our body. Unfortunately, often the production processes of the modern agri-food system do not guarantee an adequate supply of the various nutrients in foods. And this is why we need dietary supplements. Depending on the type, dietary supplements can be used to support nutrition (for example, low-calorie diets, supplements for vegetarians or vegans) or there are supplements useful for the body during particularly intense and/or stressful periods (such as supplements for sports, supplements for memory, for the nervous system, for detoxification, for menopause, etc.).

We always recommend consulting your doctor before taking any type of dietary supplement, especially if you suffer from disorders or diseases.
