Vitamins and dietary supplements (biologically active supplements) are additional sources of beneficial substances that can support the body’s functioning but do not replace a complete diet.
**Vitamins** are organic compounds necessary for:
- normal metabolism
- immune system function
- growth, cell regeneration, health of skin, hair, and nails
- functioning of the nervous, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems
The body cannot synthesize most vitamins in sufficient quantities, so they come from food or in the form of vitamin complexes.
**Supplements** are products (capsules, tablets, powders, liquids) that contain:
- vitamins and minerals
- amino acids, fatty acids (for example, Omega-3)
- plant extracts (herbs, adaptogens, antioxidants)
- probiotics and enzymes
Their purpose is to complement the diet, support specific body systems (joints, heart, liver, nervous system), and correct possible nutrient deficiencies.
**Important points:**
- Before taking vitamins and supplements, it is advisable to consult a doctor and have tests done to avoid overdose and unnecessary intake.
- Supplements are not medicines and do not cure diseases; they can only provide auxiliary support.
- The quality of supplements depends on the manufacturer, production conditions, and composition, so it is worth choosing trusted brands and carefully reading labels.
The optimal foundation for health is a balanced diet, sufficient sleep, physical activity, and the absence of bad habits, while vitamins and supplements can only be an additional tool.
