Dr. Soumitra Kumar Chowdhury

In the present age, almost all over the world, gym is highly valued by men and women of all ages. Our country is not backward either. Numerous gyms have been set up across the country. Innumerable physical training centers in Kolkata metropolitan mopsball village Bengal. Jim's roar around. Who does not want a healthy and strong body! And in this opportunity, showing the greed to make a quick body, various local and foreign companies are selling various kinds of supplements in the market. People, especially young people, are indiscriminately taking various supplements without knowing the quality of these and the level of consumption.

The quality of the so-called supplement products is not controlled by India or even the governments of the developed countries of the world. As many drugs come to the market beyond the limits of restrictions, there is no legal oversight in the sale of supplements. In this opportunity, various business organizations have been selling supplements by providing unscientific and untrue information. Huge business of world pair supplements. The worldwide business is worth ব্যবস 104 billion (2015). And in India? In the world's largest youth population, the amount of supplement business is 107 billion rupees. Pouring business, gossip, baseless information and often marketing fake items in the original cover.

What is meant by food supplement, what is it made of? The main ingredient in the supplement is multivitamin mineral salt, various proteins. Among proteins, glutamine and creatine are widely used. Supplement means supplement or something extra. It needs to be used as per the needs of the body. For example, people with severe anemia may be given iron supplements and multi-vitamin tablets as short-term supplements. The use of supplements is reasonable even if there is a deficiency of some other elements in the physiological process of sick or elderly men and women. But long-term use of these essential ingredients also causes side effects. So one should be careful about the indiscriminate use of supplements. The body needs water and five to six types of food - carbohydrates (rice-bread), fats (oil, ghee, butter), protein (fish, meat, eggs, pulses), minerals (salt), vitamins (vegetables), antioxidants (fruits). ). It is through food that young men and women can gain the necessary nutrients and nutrients. And if the opposite happens, that is, the supplement swallows without relying on the necessary food is a danger.

What are the dangers of using food supplements? Although sold under many names in the market, mainly five-six types of supplements are very popular. Their names have been mentioned earlier. Such as multivitamins, proteins, creatinine, glutamine, mineral salts, flax seed oil.

Multivitamins are a combination of many vitamins. These should be eaten only after proper instructions and after a full meal. Vitamins are not food, food is life. Stimulates other proteins (enzymes). If you swallow vitamin tablets without eating proper food, your body will not get any nutrition. Again due to excessive vitamin intake you will suffer from many side effects like headache, stomach upset, vomiting, indigestion.

Protein helps build muscle. Those who exercise and exercise with weight need a high protein diet. But all of this food, such as fish meat milk eggs beans bread pulses nuts can collect our body.

There are many disadvantages of extra protein supplements. For example, soy protein causes thyroid problems. Other protein supplements can cause kidney disease and osteoporesis. So eating a supplement without eating protein rich food means loss of health and money.

Protein components, meaning many types of amino acids, such as creatinine, glutamine (Glutamin) supplements are very popular. The demand and market for creatine as energy supplement is the largest. Weight loss will be followed by fatigue and constant tiredness. Creatine can provide energy quickly. This is because adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is formed from its own molecule with a phosphate-based adenosine dye phosphate (ADP). In the reaction ATP breaks down ADP and emits a lot of energy. It is true that athletes get benefits, but there is a possibility of great danger if they do not know how much to take in the body and how many days to eat.

The potential for greater risk, however, was not seen in the case of glutamine. Many experts believe that glutamine is the main ingredient in building muscle and providing energy to the body. Although not harmful, glutamine may interact with other drugs and cause side effects.

Mineral salts and flax seed oil (alpha-linolenic acid) are also considered by many as food supplements. Alpha linoleic acid, a component of flax seed oil, keeps the heart healthy and helps prevent cancer. These two ingredients are not considered as supplements by many. Some mineral salts, such as iron and zinc, are widely used in Europe and America.

Scientific research has shown that only twenty percent of the supplements sold in the market are reliable but the prices are beyond the reach of the common man. Twenty percent is fine, but it should be eaten according to the rules. The remaining sixty percent of the market is eligible for adulteration and complete cancellation.

Can harmful supplements be removed from the market? This work is very difficult but possible with long efforts. For example, ephedrine was once a very popular supplement on the market, but later tests revealed that ephedrine was very harmful to the heart. It is currently banned after many legal battles with the court.

Finally the results of a study need to be summarized. Data published this year in the British Journal of Cancer: Playing a supplement for just a few years increases the chances of men getting testicular cancer many times over.
