Supplement vitamin

About supplement vitamin, I will introduce. Supplement is an abbreviation for dietary supplement, and it is one of the divisions of food in the United States. Main purpose is to ingest nutritional supplements such as vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids and the like that tend to be lacking in the lives of modern people for assistance, or to exert ingredients such as medicinal herbs. There are various kinds of supplements such as herbal medicines such as traditional Chinese medicine, enzyme composition food, food related to diet etc. In a broad sense, it is sometimes used in addition to food in the sense that it is a substance ingested in the human body. Other reading methods other than supplements are read as "dietary supplements" or "health supplements (health care supplements)." The so-called "supplement" is widely spread in the world. Supplements are also perfect for supplementing the five major nutrients necessary for humans. Five major nutrients are carbohydrates (carbohydrates), lipids, proteins, vitamins, minerals. Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins are called three major nutrients, vitamins, minerals are called micronutrients. Without minerals, many vitamins do not work. Also, micronutrients are necessary for three major nutrients to work. Especially shortage of nutrients are "essential vitamins", "essential minerals", "essential fatty acids". Originally, the term supplement was tried to compensate for the missing nutrients. However, since around 1990, interest in supplements has rapidly increased by introducing health booms and major television programs. Besides, laws development and deregulation were carried out by advancing preventive medicine as a measure to raise medical costs by economic policy. In the general public, there are things promoted for the purpose of raising norm consciousness of promotion and maintenance of health, and very large markets are expanding in Japan as well. In the United States which is the home of supplements, the medical insurance system is different from Japan. In the United States, when you become sick, expensive medical expenses are required compared with Japan, so consciousness of maintenance of health from everyday is very strong so that you can avoid taking care of the hospital as much as possible in daily life. Because supplements are not medicines, supplements can be obtained very cheaply in the laws of the United States compared to medicines. Since disparate society is also spreading, there are many people who generally purchase supplements cheaper than medicines and can finish as a preventive measure. As an adverse effect that products were distributed cheaply and in large quantities, bad products also rampant.
