Hypoglycemic products are most concerned by the elderly. In China, there are hundreds of millions of diabetic patients, and this huge number has attracted the attention of manufacturers. So all kinds of so-called hypoglycemic products appeared, such as XX bitter gourd tablets. Many elderly people say that it is good to control blood sugar after eating. As everyone knows, this product is not a medicine or even a health care product. If such a product has hypoglycemic effect after taking it, it may be because of the addition of drugs such as metformin hydrochloride, which may have adverse effects on patients who have already taken hypoglycemic drugs.

Losing weight is not a patent for young people, and many old friends are also losing weight. In this case, all kinds of slimming teas have mushroomed. Only when taking these slimming teas, various side effects appear. The main ingredient of slimming tea is senna leaf, or drugs are added.

The choice of health care products is based on the symptoms first, but many people often choose according to the price, not according to the physical condition. In fact, when buying health care products, you must know your physical condition and choose health care products carefully. When choosing health care products, you need to buy them according to the following choices:

1 Choose appropriate health care products according to your physical condition. No health care product has its own scope of application, just like drugs, different drugs have different adaptation groups. First of all, we should choose the most suitable product according to our health condition. For example, people who often face computers and use their eyes more can choose products such as carotene; Mothers who plan to have children need to take folic acid in advance, and they can choose ferrous folate; Women who are pale, dizzy and afraid of cold should choose blood-enriching products.

2 buy products with health care products logo. Many of the so-called health products sold in pharmacies are not approved by National Medical Products Administration. When buying, you must look for the unique blue hat logo of health care products, so that health care products will be effective after eating. The so-called health care products without the blue hat logo have unknown effects.

When taking health care products, we must pay attention to the dosage of health care products. Each health care product will indicate the daily consumption in its product manual or outer packaging. Do not reduce or increase the dosage without authorization when taking it. You need to consult a dietitian or doctor.

4 the time to take health care products needs to be mastered. Health products, also known as dietary supplements, are mainly used to supplement the deficiency of some nutrients in the diet. Therefore, when taking it, it is best to take it immediately after meals, so that it can be digested and absorbed with food, and the effect of taking it is better, instead of taking it one hour after meals like medicine.
