Abstract

Vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, dietary fibers and the other so many chemicals are called as dietary supplements. They are widely used worldwide. Across all major categories overall dietary supplement use has increased year by year. By definition, they should maintain nutrients otherwise that may not be consumed in adequate amounts. So much dietary supplements are simply taken for healthy life, but some are used for reduce and modulate risk factors for chronic diseases, like cancer, cardiovascular diseases or birth defects. There are some other supplements which are used for benefits such as management of sleep, improving physical performance or weight management. They are not drugs and therefore they are not intended to diagnose, prevent, mitigate, treat or cure diseases. Nevertheless, there are so much dietary supplements selled as self-medication substances that promotes health related issues. But some of them may cause toxic reactions, interact with pharmaceuticals or other supplements and they may have been contaminated with heavy metals or do not contain the anticipated amount of ingredients. Also redundant of several nutrients may increase cancer risk. Generally, if there is no deficiencies or special conditions, there is no need to take supplements. In this review, we aimed to examine biological benefits of dietary supplements such as glutathione, pycnogenol, resveratrol, quercetin, chlorella pyrenoidosa, beta-glucan, α-lipoic acid and bromelain. We called them as trending dietary supplements due to their improving effects on human health.
