Every time Dr. Clove talks about a certain health product with everyone, there will always be readers asking:
What about XXX health care products? Is it useful? Is it also a lie?
There is always a feeling of knocking down a health care product and standing up for ten million health care products in Qian Qian. Wave after wave of problems hit…
In order to solve all kinds of doubts when facing various health products, Dr. Clove invited Dr. Yun Wuxin, a food engineering major. Perhaps you will find the desired answer in today’s article.
Are health products really effective?
Many health care products can indeed produce relevant research documents when publicizing various effects, but the problem is that these [research results] are unreliable in themselves.
1. Efficacy based on [preliminary study].
For a certain efficacy of a certain health product, sometimes we can see [possibly effective] results in sporadic literature.
[Possible Effective] Is what’s Meaning?
First of all, it is very straightforward that it is not clear and effective.
Secondly, this conclusion must be further verified by [large-scale clinical trials], otherwise it will have no guiding significance.
However, for this part of the [possibly effective] conclusion, there is basically no verification of subsequent studies.
In all kinds of marketing, the initial [possibly effective] role has been exaggerated as [scientific research has found it has XX effect].
2. Exaggerate the efficacy of certain ingredients.
Some health care products will say in the publicity that they [contain XX ingredients], so they [have XX effects].
Actually?
The function of this ingredient itself is not clear, and the content of this ingredient in health care products is far from the content of [possibly effective] in [preliminary study].
The effect is not clear and the dose is not up to standard. Will it be effective?
3. Add pharmaceutical ingredients.
In order to let consumers experience the health care products [really effective], many businesses do not hesitate to add pharmaceutical ingredients to them and use [pure natural] as marketing gimmicks when selling them.
If a certain drug ingredient is really conducive to disease recovery, why don’t doctors recommend it?
This kind of situation is more common in health care products such as weight loss, blood pressure reduction and blood lipid reduction, which can be said to be [meat with health care products hanging on its head and selling drugs].
At this time, you may have to ask:
Even if these effects are uncertain, there is no harm in eating health care products. What if they are useful?
Does eating health care products have what effects on the body?
The results of taking health care products can be basically divided into three categories:
1. If you eat it or not, there is no harm. It is just to spend money for comfort.
This kind of situation is not impossible for people who [have no shortage of money] if you just want to have a good time. But for many people who work hard to save money, the money is really wasted.
2. Adding drug ingredients affects normal treatment.
The pharmaceutical ingredients of health care products can be said to be [secretly added], and consumers are not aware of it.
On the one hand, some drug ingredients have side effects. Clinically, doctors will choose the treatment plan with the least side effects and the best therapeutic effect according to your personal situation, but health care products will not.
On the other hand, if you are still receiving treatment, you are also taking medicine at ordinary times, plus the drug ingredients in health care products, which may lead to drug overdose.
These are not good for the body.
3. Pin hopes on health care products and delay normal treatment.
Many people want to cure diseases through [supplement]…
In this regard, the State Food and Drug Administration clearly stipulates:
The main contents of the labels and instructions of health food shall not involve the functions of disease prevention and treatment, and declare that [this product cannot replace drugs].
In other words, health care products cannot claim to have [therapeutic effect], let alone replace drugs.
If you are ill, you have to be treated. Your body is your own and you cannot afford to delay it.
Want to supplement nutrition, can only rely on health care products?
The [magic ingredients] of all health care products can be obtained through normal diet. Moreover, the additional nutrition added from health care products cannot bring better [health care effect].
Of course, it cannot be said that all health care products are liars.
If you can’t achieve a comprehensive and balanced diet, so that you lack some micronutrients, then it is also good for your body to [supplement] some vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and other types of [dietary supplements].
However, this kind of situation mostly occurs in special groups. For example, people preparing for pregnancy have a high demand for folic acid. Diet alone may not be enough. At this time, folic acid can be supplemented by health care products.
For you and me in normal life, health care products are really not a good choice for what.
