The importance of the nutritional supplement according to GLAM1965

Each of us at least once in our life has felt, in a particularly difficult period, the need for energy and multivitamin support, for help to face the long working days to regain physical and mental balance.

A healthy diet is certainly essential to assimilate essential nutrients such as vitamins and mineral salts that ensure the proper functioning of our body. However, the consumption of specific foods alone may not be enough to obtain the right amount of nutrients that the body requires of us.

A valid solution in these cases is the use of nutritional supplements, a concentrated source of nutrients and specific substances useful for metabolism.

The etymology of the word tells us a lot about the function of food supplements and their nature. “To integrate“, from the Latin intĕger, means to compensate for a deficiency; the “food” specification refers to the fact that this type of supplement can only contain substances that are also present in food. Just by analyzing the name, therefore, it is possible to understand what nutritional supplements are and what they are for.

What are nutritional supplements used for?

Nutritional supplements are intended to correct certain nutritional deficiencies and supplement normal nutrition. They complete the diet and in no way replace food intake. Supplements, used responsibly, can be an effective aid in ensuring the body has the right amount of vitamins and minerals.

As we have already said, the ingredients found in nutritional supplements are the same as those found in some foods but in concentrated and higher percentages. By law, in fact, supplements should only contain ingredients already present in foods. We are talking about vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids and substances such as enzymes, tissues and metabolites. The presence of one or the other of these components, or their percentage, affects the function of the supplement and guides users in choosing the most suitable product for their needs.

Not only the composition but also the shape and consistency of the nutritional supplements on the market can be different. Supplements may contain extracts or concentrates of nutritional ingredients in the form of: tablets, capsules, gel capsules, liquids or powders.

So why do you need nutritional supplements even when you eat healthy or do not play competitive or intense sports?

To integrate certain essential substances for the body, nutrition is not enough (or at least not always). Let’s take a practical example: compensating for potassium deficiencies would require eating at least 5 bananas a day, just as a lack of amino acids could require the consumption of at least two kg of meat. It would be unthinkable and counterproductive. Nutritional supplements provide the necessary supply of these nutrients in a concentrated way. Then there are some sports that expose those who practice them to a greater consumption of specific nutrients and which, consequently, require a specific and targeted supplement to compensate for the deficiencies.

Mainly the different types of nutritional supplements can be used for:

• Support and supplement the daily diet lacking in certain nutrients.
• Support physical activities, depending on the type of sport, its intensity and duration.
• Increase the immune defenses especially in cold seasons. Winter accentuates the feeling of stress and sleepiness, the use of specific food supplements rich in vitamins and minerals are a solution.
