Terveyslisänä

Terveyslisänä is a Finnish term that translates to "health supplement" or "health additive." It refers to a product intended to be added to food or drink to enhance its nutritional value or provide specific health benefits. These supplements are not typically considered a primary source of nutrition but rather a complementary addition to a regular diet.

The range of terveyslisänä products is broad and encompasses various forms, including vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, probiotics, omega-3 fatty acids, and amino acids. They are often marketed for specific purposes such as boosting the immune system, improving energy levels, supporting digestive health, or aiding in recovery from exercise.

Terveyslisänä products are available in various forms, such as capsules, tablets, powders, liquids, and even as added ingredients in functional foods like yogurts or juices. The efficacy and safety of these supplements can vary, and it is generally recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before introducing them into one's diet, especially for individuals with pre-existing health conditions or those taking medication. Regulatory bodies in Finland oversee the marketing and sale of such products to ensure they meet certain standards for quality and labeling.
