What is a food supplement?
The purpose of a food supplement (also called a nutritional supplement) is to increase the body's availability of certain substances normally provided by the diet (which may be nutrients, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, etc.). A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied and diversified diet, nor for medical treatment and adequate therapeutic care. A dietary supplement should be considered as a useful aid, in addition to adequate hygienic, dietary, medical and therapeutic measures. Cartilamine, like all dietary supplements in France, is not reimbursed by social security. Glucosamine is one of the best-selling dietary supplements in the world and is enjoying increasing interest in France. That said, the consumption of glucosamine in France is still moderate compared to our Belgian neighbours, who consume twice as much glucosamine as we do for a population of only 10 million, or compared to our British neighbours, who consume almost 30 times as much as we do...
