It is clear that nutritional supplements help overall health, such as improving the body's functions, by supplementing the nutrients that are lacking. However, we should be wary of expanding it to a specific disease as a treatment for a particular disease.
With commercial intentions, the effectiveness of certain nutritional supplements for certain diseases is often exaggerated. In particular, nutritional supplements that are extracted from plants and animals that we do not commonly eat highlight their therapeutic effects on certain diseases. Of course, they must have also been approved as health functional foods by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety through functional clinical trials. However, if your blood pressure and cholesterol levels are quite high, for example, you will need to take medication.
Cancer patients cling to nutritional supplements as if they were grasping at straws. If you search the internet for cancers by various parts, you will be bombarded with gossip information about animal and plant extracts. However, if you're eating certain plant and animal extracts that aren't your primary nutrients, such as protein, vitamins, and minerals, you should seek professional advice. Nutritional supplements are not medicines. The same goes for healthy foods. It is difficult to be satisfied with its original role and to be inflated to its efficacy in treating incurable diseases such as cancer.
