“…The paper also discusses that while folate has been associated with decreased risk of certain chronic diseases, there is strong evidence that the excess of nutrients may increase DNA synthesis, stimulating cell proliferation and participate in tumor progression [ 68 ]. Furthermore, because current evidence of the benefits of regular use and risk of excessive consumption of supplements containing folic acid, it is necessary to monitor use of supplements [ 69 , 70 ].…”

To assess the ingestion of folate and nutrients involved in the 1-carbon cycle in non-treated patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma in a reference center for oncology in southeastern Brazil. In total, 195 new cases with colorectal adenocarcinoma completed a clinical evaluation questionnaire and a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Blood samples from 161 patients were drawn for the assessment of serum folate. A moderate correlation was found between serum concentrations of folate, folate intake and the dietary folate equivalent (DFE) of synthetic supplements. Mulatto or black male patients with a primary educational level had a higher intake of dietary folate. Of patients obtaining folate from the diet alone or from dietary supplements, 11.00% and 0.10%, respectively, had intake below the recommended level. Of the patients using dietary supplements, 35% to 50% showed high levels of folic acid intake. There was a prevalence of inadequacy for vitamins B2, B6 and B12, ranging from 12.10% to 20.18%, while 13.76% to 22.55% of patients were likely to have adequate choline intake. The considerable percentage of patients with folate intake above the recommended levels deserves attention because of the harmful effects that this nutrient may have in the presence of established neoplastic lesions.

“…Indeed, no national survey on DS use has been conducted in Brazil. Information on DS use is only available from a representative sample from the city of São Paulo, where the prevalence of DS use among adolescents, adults, and the elderly was estimated to be approximately 6% [28]. In a review by Rautiainen et al [27], the prevalence of DS use varied from 22 to 53% in other countries, including the United States, Canada, South Korea, England, Sweden, Germany, and France.…”

“…The survey performed in São Paulo was conducted in 2007-2008 and asked if participants consumed any type of supplement. If the answer was yes, the participant was asked about the frequency of use, either regular or sporadic, but not the duration of use [28]. Gong et al [29] Multivitamin supplements alone or in association with minerals are the most frequently consumed supplement in many population groups [12-14, 28, 30-32].…”

“…In addition, older adults had a lower amount of protein and liquid energy supplements, whereas smokers reported a higher intake of liquid energy supplements. Previous studies showed that the use of dietary supplements is associated with female gender, older age, higher educational attainment, normal weight, and abstinence from smoking, but none of these studies assessed the amounts of DS consumed [10,13,14,28,30,31,38].…”

Purpose This cross-sectional study aimed to provide estimates of dietary supplements (DS) use and to examine the relationship between sports dietary supplements (SDS) use and sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristic, body mass index and total daily physical activity (PA) in the adult population of Brasília, Brazil. Methods DS use was collected from 506 adults via a Food Frequency Questionnaire. DS were divided into multivitamin-minerals, electrolyte drinks, energy, protein, partial meal replacements, creatine, caffeine, and others. Electrolyte drinks, energy, and protein supplements were considered as SDS. PA was estimated from a 24-h PA recall, and total MET (metabolic equivalents)/day and MET-h/day were calculated. Participants were categorized as physically inactive or active according to MET-h/day. Results DS were used by 68% of adults; multivitamin-minerals (38%) and protein supplements (29%) were the most commonly used products. SDS use was associated with the highest socioeconomic level, younger age, and male gender, but not with PA. Also, most SDS users were physically inactive. Conclusion These findings indicate that SDS may be used unnecessarily by adults in Brasília. Specific recommendations and control procedures for the use of SDS are warranted.

“…A preocupação do setor de saúde correlaciona-se com o uso inadvertido dos suplementos, visto que tais substâncias, quando ingeridas em excesso, podem ter efeitos indesejáveis ao organismo, por exemplo, diarreia, relacionada à ingestão excessiva de vitamina C e magnésio. Outro efeito indesejado é a constipação, associada à ingestão excessiva de ferro, o que também pode provocar náuseas, vômitos e dor epigástrica (2,(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9).…”

Vitamins and minerals are essential to the optimal functioning of the human body. To ensure the intake of proper amounts of these nutrients, many consumers take vitamin and/or mineral supplements that should contain, at least 25% and, at most, 100% of the daily recommended intakes (DRI). Considering their commercial relevance and the influence of supplements on human health, the conformity to legal specifications of the labeling of vitamin and mineral supplements marketed in 10 drugstores in Teresina-PI (July 2016), was evaluated. The field research consisted of a quantitative observational study of the data contained on the labels of all of the products containing vitamins and/ or minerals as determined by current legislation. Information was colleted from 208 products, including medications, although only the supplements were evaluated according to legislative requirements (Ordinance Law nº 32/1988). It was observed that only 49% of the supplements analyzed respected all labeling requirements of the current legislation. Incorrect product designation (67.9%) and flaws in the mandatory warnings (35.9%) were the most common mistakes. The lack of basic labeling information makes the choice of the correct supplement more difficult for customers, thus reinforcing the need for the presence of health professionals to assist consumers in selecting 'reliable supplements and to indicate their proper use.Keywords: dietary supplements, micronutrients, food labeling. RESUMOAs vitaminas e os minerais são elementos essenciais ao funcionamento do organismo humano. Para garantir a quantidade adequada desses nutrientes, muitos indivíduos utilizam suplementos vitamínicos e/ou minerais, os quais devem apresentar no mínimo 25% e no máximo 100% da Ingestão Diária Recomendada (IDR). Considerando a importância comercial da venda de suplementos pelos estabelecimentos e a relevância desses produtos para a saúde humana, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a conformidade da rotulagem de suplementos vitamínicos, minerais e vitamínicos/minerais dispostos à venda em 10 farmácias comerciais, em Teresina-PI, em julho de 2016. A pesquisa de campo consistiu em um estudo quantitativo observacional dos dados contidos nos rótulos de todos os produtos contendo vitaminas e/ou minerais, de acordo com o preconizado pela legislação vigente. Foram coletadas informações de 208 produtos, incluindo medicamentos, contudo, somente os suplementos foram avaliados de acordo com os itens requeridos pela Portaria nº 32/1988. Observou-se que, de 154 suplementos analisados, apenas 49% obedeceram a todos os aspectos da rotulagem preconizada pela legislação. Entre os erros mais comuns, destacam-se a designação incorreta do produto (67,90%) e falhas nas advertências obrigatórias (35,90%). A falta de informações básicas de rotulagem dificulta a escolha adequada do suplemento pelos consumidores e enfatiza a necessidade da presença de um profissional de saúde que possa auxiliar a população na seleção de um produto confiável, além da possibilidade de indicação...
