lisäravinteen

Lisäravinne is a Finnish term that translates to "supplement" or "dietary supplement" in English. It refers to a product intended to supplement the diet and which contains one or more of the following nutritional substances: vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, fiber, herbs, and other plants or their extracts. Lisäravinteet are typically consumed in pill, capsule, tablet, powder, or liquid form.

The purpose of lisäravinteet is often to increase the intake of a specific nutrient or to provide a concentrated source of certain compounds believed to have health benefits. They are commonly used by individuals looking to support general health, enhance athletic performance, address specific nutritional deficiencies, or manage certain health conditions. However, it is important to note that lisäravinteet are not intended to treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Regulation and availability of lisäravinteet vary by country. In Finland, as in many other European Union countries, lisäravinteet are subject to regulations regarding their composition, labeling, and marketing to ensure consumer safety. It is generally recommended that individuals consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if they have pre-existing health conditions or are taking medications, to ensure the supplement is appropriate and safe for their individual needs.
