Biologically active additives (dietary supplements) are concentrates of biologically active substances intended for direct intake with food or introduction into food products. They are not drugs, but are a source of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, plant extracts and other beneficial substances designed to replenish the deficiency of nutrients in the diet and maintain the normal functioning of the body. For men, dietary supplements can play an important role in maintaining reproductive health, energy level, muscle mass, prostate health and overall well -being. It is important to understand that dietary supplements do not replace good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, but only complement them. The key difference between dietary supplements and drugs lies in their preventive, not arapeutic orientation. They are designed to maintain health, and not for the treatment of specific diseases.

Dad manufacturers are required to register their products and provide information about the composition, safety and efficiency.

Reception of dietary supplements in high doses can be dangerous and lead to an overdose of vitamins and minerals. It is important to follow the recommended dosages and consult a doctor before starting dietary supplements.
