Continuing desire to stay younger and healthier forces us to look for new ways to support and improve the quality of our life. Thus, functional products among others gained popularity, fitting perfectly into the concept of healthy lifestyle, preventive approach and daily replenishment of vital reserves. Such products are not intended for treatment of any diseases, but give us plenty of benefits due to the presence of multiple useful nutrients on their list of ingredients.
Eat or drink – the choice is yours
Nowadays functional products are presented in a variety of forms: drinks, gels, powders, effervescent tablets, and even lozenges. Everyone may choose their own most convenient option. Thanks to these advantages and high content of functional nutritional elements, they can be easily introduced into one’s daily diet: they are tasty, come in a variety of shapes and packaging, often fitting even in a small handbag; they can be consumed at home or office, and on the go. The truth is that those products enrich our diet with vitamins and micronutrients, often lacking in everyone's daily nutrition.
Another advantage of functional products using is that there is no special requirement or need to consult a doctor or a specialist, since these products are not intended to treat any disease. After you try such a product, you are to draw your own individual assessment on the effectiveness and whether the product gives you desired perspection. At the same time, by using, for example, a functional drink, we will replenish and balance body water but along with the ingredients in its composition, what in its turn can help our immune system, may help our digestion, sleep and overall functional body state. Often functional products are made without sugar, replaced with natural sweeteners, such as stevia extract or erythritol – they are as sweet as sugar, but have zero calories and do not affect glucose and insulin levels. Therefore, these products are also suitable for people with diabetes and for dieters.
