What is the use of health care products?
Health products, the full name of which is "health food", are "foods that claim to have specific health care functions or are aimed at supplementing vitamins and minerals, that is, foods that are suitable for specific people, have the function of regulating the body, are not aimed at treating diseases, and do not cause any acute, subacute or chronic harm to the human body."

Do health care products have the effect of treating diseases directly?

When it comes to health care products, we first think of various vitamin tablets. Yes, all kinds of minerals and vitamins are a major category of health care products, which are generally called "dietary supplements" abroad to supplement vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Products that are not aimed at providing energy are mainly used as supplements for insufficient intake of food nutrients.

Obviously, the function of health care products is mainly health care, not direct treatment of diseases.

Health products are not as safe and effective as drugs.

Unlike drugs, which are both safe and effective against diseases, health care products must not involve the function of preventing and treating diseases, and must not mislead people in any form. The instructions of health care products must be marked "This product cannot replace drugs".

Health care products emphasize "claiming" health care function, but how to evaluate whether the health care function is flexible has a lot to do with the integrity of the health care product manufacturer.

Why do many people believe that health care products are "magic drugs"

Many people prefer to buy health care products at a high price. On the one hand, they believe in its safety as food, and on the other hand, they see that its propaganda is effective quickly, and regard it as a "magic medicine."

Some patients feel the symptoms relieved after taking health care products, which does not rule out the psychological hints of health care products to people.

In addition, the definition of "health care" function is a vague concept. Like eating, sleeping and exercising, it has a good health care function, but it can't be reflected quickly and effectively.

Therefore, in order to pursue profits, some unscrupulous merchants illegally add one or more western medicine prescription drugs with the functions of lowering blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipid while promoting the safety of health care products. Consumers have obvious effects after using it, and they are easily deceived by the "magic medicine" and do not hesitate to buy and use it. Improper use of these added drugs will delay the illness and endanger life!

How to treat health products scientifically?

We not only deny the efficacy of health care products, but consumers need to be extra vigilant and refuse to buy "special effects" health care products produced by some informal manufacturers in the market.

Health care products can be regarded as "snacks" besides three meals a day, and become auxiliary products with regular life, correct exercise and happy mood, which can be adjusted appropriately when the body is in poor condition.

However, if you are sick, you should seek medical advice in time and receive professional medication according to the doctor's advice. This is the safest, most economical and effective method.
