What is a "dietary supplement"? Baidu said: "Dietary nutritional supplements" take vitamins, minerals and extracts with relatively clear structure-activity relationships as the main raw materials, and supplement essential nutrients and biologically active substances to improve the health of the body and reduce the risk of diseases through oral administration. The purpose of it is generally in concentrated form such as tablets or capsules. Foods in traditional forms with added nutrients or biologically active substances, such as teabags, soft drinks, wine, and dairy products, do not have the main purpose of supplementing nutrients and are not dietary nutritional supplements.
What nutrients does our body need to supplement every day? The human body needs to take in more than 40 kinds of nutrients every day, including protein, B vitamins, vitamin A, vitamin D, calcium, iron, zinc, selenium and so on.
Why can’t the food we eat every day meet our nutrient needs? As mentioned above, the human body needs to take in as many as 40 kinds of nutrients every day. Experts in the industry point out that it is difficult to meet the normal nutritional needs of the human body due to unreasonable dietary structure and uneven food quality. By taking "dietary nutritional supplements" Regulating the nutritional balance in the body can prevent and improve nutritional deficiency problems such as invisible hunger. For the Chinese people who are generally deficient in nutrients, abandoning the use of dietary supplements due to fear of adverse reactions caused by excessive use will inevitably lead to the suspicion of choking. On the basis of a balanced diet, rational use of high-quality compound dietary supplements is undoubtedly a more sensible choice, because people with a lower basic level are more likely to benefit from dietary supplements than those with a higher basic level of nutrients . If the body is severely deficient in certain nutrients for a long time, it will lead to the occurrence of diseases, so everyone should eat a balanced diet and fully absorb nutrients.
