What is a food supplement?
Originally designed to be an additional addition to food products, they can also cover the deficiency of vitamins, mineral salts or other elements essential to the proper functioning of the body. Supplements can come in several forms: capsules, lozenges, tablets, powder, liquid ampoule, bottles with a dropper, solutions, etc.
THE food supplements include several products:
- Classic foods, that is to say containing basic nutrients, such as carrots, tomatoes and potatoes;
- Nutrients, such as essential vitamins and minerals, in addition to calcium;
- Plants, except those prescribed solely for medicinal uses;
- All products promoting nutrition such as proteins, fatty acids and antioxidants.
The benefits and effectiveness of food supplements for taking care of yourself
As supplements, their benefits are countless, due to their components.
Vitamins are extremely necessary, even in very small quantities. They cannot be synthesized by our body, except for vitamin D. It is therefore useful for us to take them during our meals or by ingesting a food supplement.
Minerals and trace elements like selenium and magnesium. One stands out for its anti-oxidant properties and the other for its energizing properties. Let’s not forget calcium, carotene, iron to strengthen your bones, to promote the beauty of your skin and to strengthen your teeth.
Proteins, fatty acids and amino acids. It is essentially OMEGA 3 composed of amino acids extracted from fish oil or vegetable oil. They act on mood and also heart health.
Plants and herbal preparation, especially used for slimming. We have fennel, artichoke, green tea and Guarana available to take care of calories or even ginger and black radish to eliminate toxins.
Take the example of ANACA 3 which brings together 3 slimming active ingredients: artichoke flower, prickly pear cactus and cola seed. These 3 active ingredients attack several sources of your excess fat. The artichoke leaf will facilitate your digestion. The fig tree reduces your appetite and absorbs fats and sugar from your body, controlling excess calories. As for the seed, it burns excess fat. A set of assets to maintain a good figure.
How to use them?
Be careful, as these supplements are not medicines. You must then take precautions before consumption. Respect the prescribed dosage, and do not consume it beyond the time limit for which they were prescribed!
These products are available in bottles, tablets or capsules.
You can usually find them at your local pharmacies, supermarkets, health food stores and mail order stores.
It should be noted that these must be used with a view to a healthy lifestyle and not become substitutes for a varied and balanced diet. Keep out of the reach of young children. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Store in a cool, dry place and away from light.
A multi-vitamin supplement never harms your body. The only condition to respect: follow the recommendations previously issued to avoid any harmful side effects.
