What are dietary supplements?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (referred to as FDA) promulgated the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), which stipulates the following provisions for dietary supplements. A product (not tobacco) designed to supplement the diet may contain a One or more of the following dietary ingredients, a vitamin, a mineral, a herb (herbal) or other plant, an amino acid, a food ingredient used to increase the total daily intake to supplement the diet, or A concentrate, metabolite, ingredient, extract or combination product of the above ingredients. It also includes approved new drugs, vitamins or biological agents that have been marketed as dietary supplements or foods before approval, issuance, and approval. DSHEA defines the composition content and labeling requirements of dietary supplements: the product form can be pill, capsule, tablet or liquid; the product cannot replace ordinary food or be the only variety of diet, and the product is labeled as "dietary supplement".
"Dietary Nutrition Supplements" take vitamins, minerals, and extracts with relatively clear structure-activity relationships as the main raw materials, and supplement the human body with essential nutrients and biologically active substances through oral administration to achieve the purpose of improving the body’s health and reducing the risk of disease. It exists 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.
In fact, as long as the food is diversified, diversified and nutritionally balanced, exercises more and stays up less late, and does not drink or drink alcohol, there is no need to supplement.
