“The
nutrition supplements tide” was fashionable in the U.S. early, now land
in Japan. Before the moment, also had “the wave of healthy food” that
was popular with people ever, however, this time of nutrition tide is
different from previous.
Before
this event, most of supplements such as the victims, healthy medicine
were sought after by the middle-aged men who have beer belly, and the
office workers who always working exhausted; or some of healthy food
that can ease the pain of menopause for women and decline the risk of
muscles weaken. But the fans of this time of tide mainly are female and
the young people who are keen on losing weight, beauty and body
sculpting.
Along with several years, in the U.S. where nutrition
supplements are in vogue in the unprecedented, through survey, indeed
there are nearly sixty percents of adults often take nutrition
supplements. In the treatment of hospital, patients are suggested to
take nutrition supplements to take the place of drugs, to keep health.
It is said nutrition supplements are involved in most of medicine
prescription that give to patients, about 70%, and residue are drugs.
Learn from the above investigation, the United State has been a country
that uses nutrition supplements generally. No matter doctors in America
or in European areas, they use nutrition supplements in the treatment
and advocate patients to keep health with reasonable supplements.
Under
the survey of some magazine, the scale of nutrition supplements of the
U.S in 2000 grew rapidly to the approximately 16,730,000,000 dollars.
It
is said besides the U.S., there are almost few countries as the U.S.,
is keen on maintain the body health and cure the disease with nutrition
supplements, in fact there are special reasons for nutrition supplements
to be fashionable in America, as due to living surroundings and diet
habits, proportion of encountering overweight, cancer, and heart disease
is getting grow, then the medical expense growth increasingly, and make
nationals think out proper methods to inhibit the occurrence of trend.
The acceptance of nutrition supplements that have prevented effect is
the inevitable result with people.
There
is another measure to speed up the development of US’s nutrition
supplements, it is DSHEA that issued in 1994. Before the act was issued,
Food and Drug Administration of the U.S. usually controlled with
strictly to functional description of nutrition supplements. But after
issuing the act, only the produced process of nutrition supplements
confirms to the science, and later to inform the FDA, then the
manufacturers can print the introductions of nutrition supplements on
the merchandize.
Therefore, in Japan the nutrition supplements
belong to the scope of food, and nutrition supplements in America being
between food and medicine.
October1994, when signed this act,
U.S. President Bill Clinton of that moment said:” the diet is essential
to national people for their lifestyle and life, at the same time
national people also care about this issue. The measure of nutrition
supplements that issued by government, can strengthen the nationals’
physical body, it compliances with the time development. The words of
Clinton accelerated nutrition supplements’ development, improve the
popularity of nutrition supplements in the mind of Americans.
Another reason is high medical expense that caused by different healthy insurance systems.
