Resumo(s)
Uma alimentação adequada e variada pode, em circunstâncias normais fornece ao ser humano todos os nutrientes necessários ao bom desenvolvimento e funcionamento do seu organismo. No entanto, os diferentes estilos de vida, as diferentes condições socioeconómicas, entre outros fatores, podem comprometer esta situação de idealidade em relação a todos os nutrientes e a todos os grupos populacionais. Assim sendo, os consumidores podem optar por complementar as quantidades ingeridas de alguns nutrientes através do consumo de suplementos alimentares (Camilo, 2009; Coates et al., 2005).
Segundo o Decreto-Lei n.º 136/2003 de 28 de Junho, os suplementos alimentares são definidos como géneros alimentícios que se destinam a complementar e/ou suplementar o regime alimentar normal e que constituem fontes concentradas de determinadas substâncias, nutrientes ou outras com efeito nutricional ou fisiológico, estremes ou combinadas, comercializadas em forma doseada que se destinam a ser tomados em unidades medidas de quantidade reduzida. Estes suplementos podem legalmente conter nutrientes e outros ingredientes como vitaminas, minerais, aminoácidos, ácidos gordos essenciais, fibras, várias plantas e extratos de ervas (Decreto-Lei n.º 136/2003 de 28 de Junho).
No entanto, os suplementos alimentares são compostos por diversas substâncias e devem ser tomados com precaução, ao serem administrados, pois tal como os medicamentos podem causar efeitos secundários, contraindicações e apresentar interações com alimentos ou com outros medicamentos (Potterat, 2010). É nesta área que o Farmacêutico desempenha um papel importante no aconselhamento sobre este tipo de produtos garantindo um consumo correto e sem riscos.
The adequate and varied diet can, under normal circumstances provide to humans all necessary nutrients for normal development and functioning of your body. However, different lifestyles, different socio-economic conditions, among other factors, may affect the situation of ideality for all nutrients and all population groups. Therefore, consumers can choose to supplement their intakes of some nutrients by consuming dietary supplements (Camilo, 2009; Coates et al., 2005).

The food supplements are composed of various substances and should be taken with caution because, when administered, can, as the drugs cause side effects, contraindications and present have interactions with food or other drugs (Potterat, 2010). It is in this area that the pharmacist plays an important role in advising on these products ensuring a correct consumption and risk.
