NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTSThe effect of nutritional supplements for physical health and mental health
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 body’s 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 body’s 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.
