Dietary Supplement Library

Catalog No. L6911

Dietary supplements refer to a category of products primarily composed of ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbal extracts, probiotics, and Omega-3 fatty acids. They are designed to supplement nutrients that may be lacking in daily diets in order to maintain or promote health.

The main role of dietary supplements is to address potential nutritional gaps in modern dietary patterns and support various physiological functions of the body. For example, vitamin D aids in calcium absorption and bone health, especially for individuals with limited sun exposure; folic acid can effectively prevent neural tube defects in fetuses during pregnancy; and coenzyme Q10 is widely used to support heart function and cellular energy metabolism. In addition, certain antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, as well as plant polyphenols, are believed to help reduce oxidative stress and slow the aging process.

The research potential of dietary supplements is vast. Currently, scientists are delving into their roles in preventing chronic diseases, regulating the immune system, maintaining gut microbiota balance, and protecting cognitive function. For instance, clinical studies on Omega-3 fatty acids continue to show progress in reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases; curcumin, due to its anti-inflammatory properties, is being investigated for its role in managing arthritis and neurodegenerative diseases.
