Let's clarify a few things. Today, there are so many products that are mystified (or denigrated) through the incessant advertising we see every day on television or on websites and Dietary Supplements are no exception, becoming part of those products about which people have conflicting information, generating confusion and little really useful knowledge. Food supplements, in fact, can be very useful to many people.
What is a food supplement really for?
Contrary to popular belief, a food supplement is not a product that only gym-goers can take, but its purpose is to "integrate a nutritional complement" to the diet, reflecting the individual and physiological needs of the person.
A dietary supplement can be taken to complete:
- a slimming diet;
- a sports nutrition plan;
- a maintenance diet;
- an intense workout;
- an individual deficiency.
What does “supplement” mean?
Experts believe it is important to emphasize that food supplements should not take on the role of a "substitute" for a balanced diet, but rather take on the important role of calibrating deficiencies that are difficult to rebalance with the simple will to change one's eating plan and lifestyle, thus assuming the definition of "supplement".
What are the most common deficiencies?
With regard to individual physiological deficiencies, supplements have proven to be extremely effective for over two-thirds of those who use them, also pushing clinical operators to verify and appreciate the positive effects of the results obtained in people with very different lifestyles (from the most to the least physically active, in sports activities).
The most common deficiencies:
– vitamin B2, B6, B12;
- vitamin A;
- Vitamin E;
- proteins;
- soccer;
- iron;
How to take a food supplement
Food supplements come in different forms and consistencies, to best suit the needs of each person.
They are normally taken in:
- dust;
- tablets;
- capsules;
- tablets;
- liquid compounds.
Contraindications and warnings, are there really any?
In most cases, no. It is not recommended to take food supplements during pregnancy without consulting a doctor. For any doubts and clarifications, it is always advisable to consult a specialist who knows your physiological and biological needs in order to avoid mild allergic reactions, but to consume food supplements, a medical prescription is not necessary.
