Vitamins in supplements
A varied and balanced diet will in a healthy person be sufficient to meet the nutritional recommendations and provide all necessary nutrients for normal development and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. However, scientific data has shown that the general population does not consume sufficient amounts of micronutrients through their diet, and benefit from supplementing additional vitamins and minerals into their diet.
An increased awareness of the importance of vitamins has led to an increasing market. For a high quality product, we recommend to have a regular control on the raw material to make sure that the vitamins are present and in adequate amounts.
Amino acids in supplements
In the recent years the use of protein supplements has increased significantly globally. These supplements are used in the health and sports industry but also by the ordinary citizens, due to a increasing interest in the importance of healthy living. Protein consists of amino acids and the composition of these have an influence of the protein quality and functions.
8 of the 20 amino acids are essential to humans. This means that the body is not able to synthesize the amino acid itself. If not consumed in adequate amounts through the diet, it may influence health.
