Their manufacture is regulated at national and European levels. They may include:
Dietary supplements are not harmless products. Dosage, instructions, cumulative intake and interactions must be carefully respected.

Some supplements may cause serious effects, particularly cardiovascular or psychological.
Supplements can help cover nutritional needs modern diets may not fully provide.
Before taking them, ask yourself: “Do I really need it?”
A professional can help identify deficiencies and their causes.
