The Food and Agriculture Board defines a food supplement as a food that is consumed in addition to the normal diet with the aim of replenishing the body with various substances.

The food supplement complies with all of the following conditions:

• are intended to complement the normal diet;
• are a concentrated source of certain substances (e.g. vitamins, minerals, plant extracts, fatty acids, etc.);
• are intended to be consumed in fixed doses or amounts;
• are marketed in pre-packaged sachets in defined doses, such as capsules, lozenges, tablets, powder sachets, liquid ampoules, dropper bottles and the like, intended for consumption in small measured quantities.

Yes, you can. In Estonia, the Medicines Agency decides whether a product is a food supplement or a medicine.

For the most part, however, European countries have fairly similar views on the classification of food supplements.

RDA - Recommended daily allowance of nutrients. The abbreviation RDA is used by FAO and WHO 2001. Since 2001, as a recommendation for an optimal daily intake of nutrients, vitamins and trace elements.

NRV - Nutritional Reference Value for adults is at least 15% of a nutrient to claim the content of a substance in a preparation.

In Europe, the NRV is mainly used as a % of the daily reference intake for adults. In terms of content, the NRV serves the same purpose as the RDA.

Unfortunately, a large proportion of people do not eat enough balanced and mineral/vitamin rich foods, as many studies have shown. As a result, many people do not get the right amount of nutrients they need for the body to function normally.

Most vitamins are not produced by our bodies, so we need to get them from our daily diet. However, soil fertility has declined dramatically, mainly over the last 50 years, hence the lower nutrient content of food.
That's where food supplements come in.

Vitamin requirements depend on many factors

• age
• gender
• pace of life
• whether you are pregnant
• whether you are breastfeeding
• general body health
• etc.

If you follow the instructions on the supplement packaging, the supplements sold in the Pure Nature online shop are 100% safe to consume.

In case of pregnancy, breast-feeding, taking medication or health problems, we recommend consulting a doctor or other health professional before use.

Taking supplements can also cause reactions. To find out whether this is a healing or a reaction, stop using the product immediately and consult a doctor.

As the market for food supplements is not as regulated as, for example, the market for pharmaceuticals, trust in the manufacturer and distributor of food supplements is essential.

Many food supplement manufacturers use ingredients of questionable value, do not label all ingredients on the packaging (within legal limits) and use ingredients that are not fresh. Therefore, trust in the manufacturer of a food supplement is one of the most important arguments.

If you are looking for an answer to a specific problem in the world of supplements, we recommend consulting a nutritionist or doctor.

The two best times to take most supplements are in the morning and in the evening.

In addition, follow the instructions on the packaging of a particular food supplement and consult your health professional if necessary.

Medical Medium Anthony William recommends supplements to take separately from fatty foods. According to Anthony William, fat prevents nutrients from being absorbed.

In addition, A. William recommends that supplements should ideally be taken with some glucose-rich foods. Which he claims help nutrients to be better absorbed into the cell.

If you know that

• your diet is not varied enough
• you have a medical condition
• you know from tests that you have a vitamin and mineral deficiency in your body.

then you might want to consider taking supplements.

Studies have shown that chronic deficiencies of critically important minerals and vitamins occur in a large proportion of Western society.

In general, it is safe to take food supplements if you are dealing with a trustworthy food supplement manufacturer.

However, it is worth remembering that it would be advisable to consult a health professional before taking a food supplement. The supplement may cause side effects when taken with some prescription or over-the-counter medicines.

It is important to consult a health professional in the following situations:

• during pregnancy or breast-feeding;
• just before or after surgery;
• high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes;
• food supplement use in a child

In the event of a side effect or interaction, discontinue the food supplement and contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Under normal conditions, Vimergy food supplements retain their best qualities until the date printed on the product, even when opened. For best results, keep products in a dark, cool place (in a high top drawer of the fridge), out of reach of children. At room temperature (~24°C), most food supplements and products will keep well even when kept open in the kitchen cupboard. Unless otherwise stated on the packaging.

The two best times to take supplements are in the morning after a light breakfast or in the evening just before bedtime.

• There is no hidden ingredient in Vimergy supplements - everything is neatly labelled on the packaging. Many manufacturers of food supplements do not label their products with ingredients below a certain percentage, which it is legally correct not to label. Vimergy does not engage in such practices.
• Vimergy supplements do not contain unnecessary additives. Flavourings, citric acid, GMO products and alcohol. All are excluded for Vimergy products.
• Vimergy sources its ingredients from clean and fresh produce and raw materials. Traditionally, in the production of food supplements, some ingredients can sit in stock for many years before being packaged. In the case of Vimergy, such practices are excluded.
• Vimergy uses highly absorbable forms. For example, a mixture of adenosylcobalamin and methylcobalamin in the case of B12, zinc sulphate in the case of zinc, and magnesium in the form of magnesium glycinate in the case of magnesium. The form of the nutrient has been carefully considered for each product to ensure maximum absorption and 100% safety for the body.

No. Food supplements, as the name suggests, are intended to be used in addition to the main food. A food supplement is not a miracle pill or powder that saves a person from the need for a varied diet. However, dietary supplements have a role to play nowadays, especially if you're suffering from chronic symptoms and are determined to make strong changes to your life and health.
