A dietary supplement, also known as food supplement or nutritional supplement, is a preparation intended to provide nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, fatty acids or amino acids, that are missing or are not consumed in sufficient quantity in a person's diet. Some countries define dietary supplements as foods, while in others they are defined as drugs. Supplements containing vitamins or dietary minerals are included in the Codex Alimentarius Commission, a guidebook on food safety sponsored by the United Nations. The Food Supplements Directive requires that supplements be demonstrated to be safe, both in quantity and quality. Some ...

Dietary minerals are the chemical elements required by living organisms, other than the four elements carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen present in common organic molecules. The term "mineral" is archaic, since the intent of the definition is to describe ions, not chemical compounds or actual minerals.

Dietary fiber (fibre), sometimes called roughage, is the indigestible portion of plant foods that pushes food through the digestive system, absorbs water and eases defecation. It acts by changing the nature of the contents of the gastrointestinal tract, and by changing how other nutrients and chemicals are absorbed.

Dietary minerals are the chemical elements required by living organisms, other than the four elements carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen present in common organic molecules. The term "mineral" is archaic, since the intent of the definition is to describe ions, not chemical compounds or actual minerals. Dietitians may recommend that minerals are best supplied by ingesting specific foods rich with the element(s) of interest. Sometimes minerals are ingested as mineral dietary supplements, the most common being iodine in iodized salt. The dietary focus on minerals derives from an interest in supporting biochemical reactions with the required ...

Abstract: [Controversies in cardiology on dietary regimes from dietary fibers to fish oils] [Article in Portuguese] de Oliveira MH. Catedr?tica de Medicina Interna da Faculdade de Medicina de Coimbra. For the last decades, there has been an increase and aggravation of cardiovascular diseases due to alterations of the lipid metabolism which are mostly caused by nutritional errors. Concerning this problem, the most discussed nourishment are fish oil and fibres (Plantix). In this article, will be discussed the most recent knowledges, sometimes quite contradictory, on the effect of these nutrients o...

Abstract: [A study of dietary intakes and dietary preferences by questionnaire at a health facility in an urban area] [Article in Japanese] Watanabe M, Yamaoka K, Toyokawa H. Department of Food Science, Showa Women's University Junior College. Dietary preferences and intakes of 2504 patients in a human dock in Tokyo were studied by questionnaire and analyzed according to: 1. Comparison of dietary patterns for breakfast to that for lunch and dinner. 2. Consistency between dietary patterns according to Category Score Table for Breakfast and that from Hayashi's Quantification Theory Type III (QIII)...

Abstract: This paper gives an insight into the dietary habits adopted by UK consumers who are successful in meeting current nutritional benchmarks, thereby providing clues for the development of future food-based dietary guidelines that would be relevant to the UK.

Abstract: Reported dietary intakes of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus: limitations of dietary recall. Alemzadeh R, Goldberg T, Fort P, Recker B, Lifshitz F. Department of Pediatrics, North Shore University Hospital-Cornell University Medical College, Manhasset, NY. Reported dietary intakes were assessed in young patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). We studied 44 IDDM patients (24 males, 20 females, mean +/- SD age 13.2 +/- 4.5 yr) and compared them with 44 healthy age- and sex-matched control subjects. Estimated intakes from 24-h dietary recall were analyzed in ...

Abstract: Dietary cholesterol influences on various lipid indices and eicosanoid production in rats fed dietary fat desirable for the protection of ischemic heart disease. Lee JH, Ikeda I, Sugano M. Laboratory of Nutrition Chemistry, Kyushu University School of Agriculture, Fukuoka, Japan. Young male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed diets containing 10% fat with P/S and n-6/n-3 ratios of 1.2 and 5.0, respectively, and differing levels of dietary cholesterol (0.05 to 1.0% by weight) for 3 weeks, following which the tissue lipid concentration, fatty acid composition, desaturation of linoleic acid, and eico...
