Boost your health with food supplements
60% of Danes are regular consumers of food supplements and top off their diets with these products to boost their own health. Food supplements constitute an easy way to compensate for any dietary shortcomings. Basically, the average Danish diet provides enough of the different nutrients to cover the needs of most healthy individuals. Still, there may be reasons why you want to supplement – for  instance if there are certain types of food you hardly ever consume, or simply if you feel that you want increased protection in some areas.

Here you can see what kind of supplements you can choose in order to boost your health in five specific areas:

Vitamins and minerals
The daily vitamin pill is the most commonly used food supplement. A proper wide-spectrum multivitamin provides the most important vitamins and minerals and represents a good, basic supplement to the daily diet.

When you choose a multivitamin preparation you should pay attention to its quality and bio-availability, as some vitamin and mineral sources are absorbed more easily than others.

Energy
The well-known energy-enhancing nutrient, coenzyme Q10, is an important component in the biological processes that convert nutrition to energy. This fact alone makes coenzyme Q10 an ideal alternative to coffee, coke (soft drink), and other types of stimulants.

When the cells of the body convert nutrition to energy they use the vitamin-like substance, coenzyme Q10, as “fuel”. It occurs naturally in certain foods and the body is able to synthesize it in limited quantities. However, this endogenous production starts to taper off from the age of 20 years. As we grow older it becomes increasingly necessary to raise our intake of coenzyme Q10 from dietary sources or by means of supplements.

Heart
A high intake of the essential omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) provides good support for a strong and healthy heart. EPA and DHA are both long-chained omega-3 fatty acids that are found naturally in fish, namely oily fish and fish oil
supplements.

There is scientific evidence showing that EPA and DHA prevent cardiovascular disease (provided they are ingested in a dosage of at least 250 mg EPA and DHA/day).

Immune defence
In recent years, scientists have discovered how incredibly important vitamin D is for maintaining good health. For instance, studies show a clear relation between low vitamin D levels and the onset of different diseases. Also, vitamin D is vital for a normal, well-functioning immune system.

In Denmark, the general population’s vitamin D status is quite low and most Danes are likely to benefit from taking a supplement. This is particularly true during the winter period where our exposure to sunlight is too limited to enable a sufficiently high production of this important vitamin.

Joints
The cartilage in a healthy knee joint is intact and gets maintained continuously. As time goes by, the cartilage slowly deteriorates, causing bone ends to rub against one another. This often results in pain and reduced joint mobility. The condition is popularly referred to as osteoarthritis. Statistically,
eight in 10 people have some degree of osteoarthritis from the age of 50 years and onward.

Knee osteoarthritis may be brought to a halt by means of glucosamine, a natural extract that inhibits cartilage deterioration.
