1. People with nutrient deficiencies
Vitamins and minerals are added to many daily foods of Americans, and these measures have eliminated various micronutrient deficiencies that were once widespread in the middle of the last century.
79% of consumers in the United States said that taking dietary supplements is important for their overall health.
2. Groups that need to supplement certain nutrients because of illness or medication
Some diseases consume extra nutrients. For example, studies have found that if people with respiratory infections can get enough vitamin A, their recovery speed can be accelerated. Because vitamin A is necessary for the differentiation and repair of mucosal tissue. Some drugs may interfere with the absorption and utilization of certain vitamins, such as folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, etc.
3. People with insufficient digestion and absorption capacity
For example, after gastrointestinal surgery, hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, digestive system diseases, chronic indigestion, etc., will reduce the absorption and utilization rate of multiple nutrients. For example, patients with atrophic gastritis have severe lack of gastric acid and low pepsin activity. At the same time, minerals such as iron and zinc in food are difficult to fully ionize. At the same time, due to the secretion disorder of intrinsic factor, vitamin B12 cannot be fully absorbed.
Some drugs may damage the function of the stomach or intestines, and may also reduce the absorption and utilization rate of nutrients. At this time, additional supplementation of some nutrients can make up for the loss and avoid the risk of decreased nutritional status.

4. People with a lot of exercise

Exercise and sweat a lot will consume a variety of B vitamins. If the daily supplement is insufficient but the exercise is more, it is easy to cause nutrient deficiency in the long run.

5. People who do not get enough rest, are under too much pressure, and are often tired

When B vitamins are insufficient, it is easy to feel tired. For example, insufficient vitamin B1 will cause depression, fatigue, muscle soreness and other symptoms. Excessive fatigue and staying up late will consume a variety of vitamins. In the mechanism of the adrenal gland to cope with stress, more vitamins such as vitamin C and pantothenic acid are also needed.

Finally, when supplementing nutrients, you must pay attention to the reasonable dosage. It is safe and can replenish the body's reserves. Although nutritional supplements can reduce the risk of malnutrition, they cannot replace daily healthy diets or prolong life.

Supplements can supplement the nutrients and bioactive substances necessary for the human body, and have the effect of balancing nutritional intake and regulating body functions for specific people. However, dietary nutritional supplements are not intended to treat diseases, nor can they replace daily healthy diets.
