ravintolisissäsanaa

Ravintolisissäsanaa is a Finnish term that translates to "food supplement" or "dietary supplement" in English. It refers to products intended to supplement the diet and contain one or more of the following dietary ingredients: a vitamin, a mineral, an herb or other botanical, an amino acid, or a substance other than a vitamin, mineral, herb or other botanical, or an amino acid, or a combination of any of the preceding ingredients. These supplements are typically consumed in tablet, capsule, powder, or liquid form.

The purpose of ravintolisät is generally to provide nutrients that may not be consumed in sufficient quantities through a regular diet. They are often used to support general health and well-being, or to address specific dietary shortfalls. Common examples of ravintolisät include vitamin C, vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, fish oil, and various herbal extracts.

In Finland, like in many other countries, the regulation of food supplements falls under specific legislation. Manufacturers and importers are responsible for ensuring that their products are safe and accurately labeled. Consumers are advised to consult with healthcare professionals before starting to use any new dietary supplement, especially if they have existing health conditions or are taking medications. The use of ravintolisät should not be considered a substitute for a balanced and varied diet.
