The admirer of food additives every year becomes more and more. So what is it - a tribute to fashion or necessity? All that you wanted to know about biological additives, read in this material.

Confess, what did you have for dinner today: another sandwich or fast food vermicelli? Or maybe there was not enough time for a bite to eat? Unfortunately, the modern fast pace of life makes its adjustments to our diet. Accordingly, if you eat incorrectly, your body does not receive the necessary vitamins, macro- and microelements, as well as other useful substances necessary for normal functioning. So how to be?

Balance in everything.
"A healthy lifestyle is a whole complex, which consists of a system of certain actions. And a considerable role in this is food. And the auxiliary component is biologically active additives.
The popularization of dietary supplements began with America. The human body suffers from a deficiency of vitamins and other elements necessary for it. Therefore, we decided to release the equivalent of nutrients in a tablet form.

All biological supplements are divided into three classes, and they need to be selected depending on the needs of their organism.
1. The first group - nutraceuticals, consisting of nutrients, such as vitamins, Omega-3 fatty acids, macro- and microelements and other food components.
2. The second group, parapharmaceuticals, include the limited ingredients of medicinal herbs to maintain the functions of individual organs or the organism as a whole.
3. The third group, probiotics, are living microorganisms that live in our intestines and are necessary for normal functioning.
Find out what biological supplements you need, you can by going through a general analysis, after which the dietician can advise the complex you need. Especially in the off-season, when we lack fresh fruits and vegetables, the body needs multivitamin support.
In developed countries, the consumption of biological supplements is growing at a rapid pace. For example, in Japan, additives account for about 90% of the population, in the US - 80%, and in Europe - about 50%. In Ukraine, their application is still at a low level. Previously, on many packages of biological supplements, they wrote that this remedy can cure everyone and everything. Such loud statements undermined faith in the product and misled people. Until now, there is a stereotype that biological supplements are a medical product that treats all diseases, helps lose weight, increases breasts, and so on. Additives are not a cure. They supplement the diet with the missing substances. Often people rely only on additives as a kind of magic pill and at the same time ignore other health-promoting activities such as exercise, rest and avoiding bad habits.

Precautionary measures.
To such biological additives must be treated with caution, since they do not undergo special pharmacological control. Do not prescribe yourself biological supplements yourself, be sure to consult a doctor. And most importantly - do not go on about advertising and its promises. Otherwise, the use of unknown biological supplements may lead to negative consequences in the future. Remember that you need to buy supplements in pharmacies and specialized stores. The product must be certified, and you can always check the daily dose you need on the package.

Biologically active supplements are not a medicine, but a necessary addition to a diet to maintain your health.
