SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

In a fast changing world, technology continually develops and the lifestyle of the people also changes.

One aspect that is mainly affected is their health.

INTRODUCTIONPeople often neglect the nutritive value of their meals due to their busy life.

As a result of this, pharmaceutical companies arise to formulate food supplements that will compliment with the needs of the people.

INTRODUCTION

Through the use of advance technology on food and with the help of the media, people are now aware of the different food supplements that the market offers.

Food supplements have two kinds, these are the natural and synthetic supplements, although both can provide the nutrients that the body needs, the question is which is better?

INTRODUCTION

Objectives•To know what a food supplement is

•To understand and how to choose a supplement

•To show the comparison between natural and synthetic supplement and evaluate which is more beneficial.

•To know the effect of food supplement to health

CONCLUSION

CONCLUSIONTaking vitamin and mineral supplements may be desirable because although awareness is growing, many people still do not eat adequately balanced meals on a consistent basis.

The DSEA (Dietary Supplement Education Alliance) found in a study that seniors live longer and more independent lives when taking supplements.

CONCLUSION

Dietary supplements are regulated differently from other foods or drugs.

Most often, classification as a dietary supplement is determined by the information that the manufacturer provides on the product label or in accompanying literature.

Scientists use several approaches to evaluate dietary supplements for their potential health benefits and safety risks.

Proper nutrients through diet and vitamin supplements help to build a strong immunity system and thus less illness.

CONCLUSION

RECOMMENDATION

Why shouldn’t everyone take a multivitamin-mineral supplement to make sure to cover all their needs?

Supplement taking is very risky, and the risks deserve time equal to the time given to the benefits.

High doses of most nutrients are dangerous.

RECOMMENDATION

RECOMMENDATIONPeople should expect enormous bias against anything that would take away from pharmaceutical profits.

Consult a doctor or a dietitian about which supplements and what doses might be appropriate.

Ask about possible side effects and interactions with other medications.

RECOMMENDATIONIn most cases the other ingredients in the supplement must also be evaluated to determine if the product is safe.

Provide the physician with a list of the entire ingredients on the label and any information that can be found about the supplement such as advertisements or brochures.
