Food supplements

Foreign scientific studies have shown that many people’s diet contains sometimes only half the recommended daily allowance of magnesium and folic acid. About 50 percent of adult women and more than 70 percent of adolescent girls have less calcium in their diet compared to the recommended doses. The content of vitamin C and B₆, as well as iron and zinc, in their regular diet is apparently smaller than it should be. Even if the menu is planned carefully it is difficult to maintain a diet containing the recommended daily allowance of the individual substances. Taking supplements can help a healthy person who is not able to eat a balanced meal every day to fill the gaps in nutrition and increase the amount of important substances in their diet from adequate to optimal.
