Nutraceuticals
The term "nutraceutical" is used to refer to a broad category of dietary supplements such as vitamins, minerals, and herbs. The word was first used in 1989 by Stephen DeFelice, founder and chairman of the American organization The Foundation for Innovation in Medicine. 'Nutra' refers to 'nutrition or nutrient,' and 'ceutical' comes from the last part of the word 'pharmaceutical.' Nutraceutical supplements are products containing nutrients with health benefits, and we happen to have a wide variety of them in our webshop!

Healthy food as a foundation
"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food!" Hippocrates, the Greek physician, spoke these wise words over 400 years before Christ. Even though many people know that food can be either healthy or unhealthy, what we actually eat in practice doesn't always fall within the healthy range. A balanced diet contributes naturally to our health, and a one-sided and unhealthy diet can detract from it. Pure, healthy, and natural food not only provides the necessary fuel but also essential nutrients for the body. Healthy food is increasingly recognized, alongside exercise and lifestyle, as a means to actively contribute to one's vitality.
Functional nutritional nutrients
Nutraceuticals fit perfectly into this trend. Supplementing your healthy diet with supporting vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other beneficial substances is a good way to maintain your health and energy. Ergomax invests a lot of time and care in researching new, unique, and effective nutraceuticals. We also offer many special niche products. Quality is paramount. All our products are carefully assessed and tested. Substances are as natural as possible, and products are minimally processed. So that everyone can strive for optimal vitality.
Real nutraceutical or marketing trend?
Nutraceuticals, functional foods, and similar terms are often used by marketers for consumer trends. They are also called "designer food," food with phytochemicals, functional food, and dietary supplements. It can, therefore, refer to a broad product group ranging from, for example, enriched organic yogurt and cereals to products and supplements with vitamins, minerals, and herbs. However, not every food enriched with vitamins is equally healthy. It is important to distinguish between products with real added value for the body. The production of food supplements is regulated in Europe. All products in our webshop comply with this regulation. You can, therefore, rely on the purity and quality of the products.
Nutraceuticals as a supplement to the diet
You can use a nutraceutical supplement if, for example, you do not get enough from your diet or if you could use a little extra. Nutraceuticals can be suitable for various target groups, such as pregnant or breastfeeding women, the elderly, athletes, people under a lot of pressure, women in menopause, people in recovery, and for everyone who aims for vitality and health. They can be targeted at specific applications, such as support for specific processes or body areas, or for overall health support. The bioactive substances in nutraceuticals provide their effectiveness. Each nutraceutical has its own specific characteristics and strength. With the availability of nutraceutical products, we can take even more control of our health and vitality.
