The increase in risk factors and the high prevalence of diseases associated with unhealthy lifestyles appear as the backdrop for many of the trends that define the dynamics of current societies around food. Throughout the world, the sustained increase in the number of people suffering from overweight and obesity or other diseases associated with a poor diet, as well as the severity and serious consequences they have for health and quality of life, are being the obligatory reference to implement changes in lifestyles. As part of this logic, changes in eating habits and consumption patterns have given way to a diversity of alternatives that seek a state of balance between health and nutrition. Weight control as a sole objective takes a back seat, instead prioritizing the search for comprehensive health, based on the consumption of healthy diets. As part of this diversity of options, the use of supplements and food supplements seeks to replace dietary deficiencies, as well as reinforce the levels of nutrients that may not be available in food.
