What is Nutritional Supplements?

• The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act
  (DSHEA) defines a nutritional supplement as a
  product that
• Supplements the food you eat
• contains one or more dietary ingredient
  (including vitamins minerals herbs or other
  botanicals amino acids, and other substances)
• comes in pill, capsule, tablet, or liquid form
  and
• is labeled as a dietary supplement.
• There are different types of dietary, or
  nutritional, supplements. Vitamin and mineral
  supplements are types of dietary supplements
  containing micronutrients meant to help a healthy
  body function smoothly. Herbal (or botanical)
  supplements are dietary supplements that have a
  medicinal purpose. Herbal supplements generally
  support a specific area of the bodys health,
  such as the liver, bones or skin.

Purpose of Nutritional supplements

• Nutritional supplements are used for many
  purposes. They can be added to the diet to boost
  overall health and energy to provide immune
  system support and reduce the risks of illness
  and age-related conditions to improve
  performance in athletic and mental activities
  and to support the healing process during illness
  and disease. However, most of these products are
  treated as food and not regulated as drugs are.
• Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients that
  serve a specific purpose and benefit the body in
  a unique way. For example, vitamin A supports
  vision and bone growth, whereas vitamin E
  strengthens the immune system and helps repair
  DNA. Vitamin and mineral deficiency can impair
  the bodys ability to heal and protect itself.
• Taking vitamins does not make up for an unhealthy
  diet, and vitamins are an insufficient substitute
  for nutrients from fresh fruits, vegetables, and
  whole grains. However, a general multivitamin and
  mineral supplement can be a good safeguard
  against periodic vitamin shortfalls in your diet.

History of Nutritional Supplements

• The use of herbs and animal glands as medicines
  dates back to the origins of civilized man. The
  earliest known written records of herbal
  medicines were inscribed on six-thousand-year-old
  clay tablets written by the Sumerians, who lived
  on the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers
  in what is now Iraq. The tablets showed use of
  many medicinal plants including opium poppy,
  thyme, licorice and mustard plant.
• Moreover, the Asian cultures, particularly in
  the Sichuan province of China, have a long
  recorded history of herbal use dating back more
  than three thousand years.
• As early as 776 BC, the Greek Olympians used
  substances, such as mushrooms, dried figs, and
  strychnine, to enhance performance.
