A situação dos suplementos alimentares na saúde

Abstract

O mundo da suplementação alimentar é muito delicado e controverso. Muitos suplementos alimentares aguardam evidências científicas consistentes ou simplesmente não têm interesse. A escolha e toma de um suplemento é um processo crítico, faseado e requer o aconselhamento de um profissional de saúde, sempre apoiado em sólido conteúdo científico. Os Suplementos Alimentares (SA) são produtos químicos ou naturais, de composição simples ou composta, destinados a complementar uma dieta alimentar normal, tendo como objetivo colmatar determinada falha ou melhorar alguma condição. São compostos por diversas substâncias e devem ser tomados com precaução porque não são inócuos. Ao serem administrados, podem, como os medicamentos, causar efeitos adversos, ter contraindicações e apresentar interações com alimentos ou medicamentos. Torna-se assim criteriosa a escolha da marca, a validade científica do efeito proclamado da substância, a eficácia, segurança e legalidade da mesma. Na dissertação é procedido a um enquadramento regulamentar dos suplementos alimentares, à classificação dos mesmos com exemplos e respetivas indicações terapêuticas e mecanismos fisiológicos, para além de uma abordagem ao consumo e situação da suplementação alimentar em Portugal e seu aconselhamento farmacêutico.

The dietary supplementation world is very delicate and controversial. Many dietary supplements wait for consistent scientific evidence or simply have no interest. Choosing and taking a supplement is a critical, step-by-step process and needs the advice of a health professional, always supported by solid scientific content. The Dietary Supplements are chemical or natural products of simple or complex composition intended to complement the balanced diet, with the objective of filling a certain failure or improving some condition. They are composed by several substances and must be taken with caution because they are not harmless. When taken, they can, like medicines, cause adverse effects, have contraindications and interactions with food or medicines. The choice of the brand, the scientific validity of the proclaimed effect of the substance, the efficacy, safety and legality of the substance are thus judicious. In this thesis, a regulatory framework of food supplements, their classification with examples and respective therapeutic indications and physiological mechanisms, are carried out in addition to an approach to the consumption and situation of dietary supplementation in Portugal and its pharmaceutical care.
