“…Dr. Paul Carton, a forerunner of vegetarianism and pacifism was a leading figure of this movement (Drouard 1998;Ouedraogo 2001). Naturopathy (Grisoni 2011), alternative dietetics of the second half of the twentieth century (Lepiller 2010(Lepiller , 2012, and most contemporary heterodox medicines (Laplantine and Rabeyron 1987; Rossi and Cohen 2011) take after this tradition. 18 Health problems are often presented by alternative dieticians themselves as a legitimate cause and motive to engage in the dietary change they advocate and follow (Lepiller 2010).…”

“…This supplementation is thus related to ordinary people, especially those in rural environments. On the other hand, it is also associated with movements advocating a return to nature (Léger and Hervieu 1979), which have left their mark in the food, dietary and healthcare landscape, leading to an abundance of heterodox medical approaches today (Laplantine and Rabeyron 1987;Grisoni 2011;Rossi and Cohen 2011). Certain sections of the population, especially the middle classes, women and people in creative occupations are particularly likely to adopt supplementation in general, and of the natural type in particular (Dilhuydy 2005;Bégot 2010).…”

The use of food supplements continues to grow in France, even though it is being discouraged by the main health and medical authorities. The ambiguous definitions surrounding these products make it difficult to measure their consumption. Using a qualitative survey based on interviews (n = 31) of consumers aged 60 to 75 years, this paper explores the ways in which this consumption is increasing. It traces the adoption of food supplementation in this age group back to life-course events, relating to health in particular. Using the practice theory, three forms of supplementation are identified according to the norms, products, sources of medical prescription and purposes at play. The first form is dependent on orthodox medical prescription having been taken; the supplements are prescribed by a doctor and considered by the consumer to be almost like medicinal products. The second form is linked to heterodox 'natural' therapies; products are most often based on plants and considered to be traditional remedies. The third form is related to a heterodox micronutritional approach, claiming to be scientifically advanced; products are identified as food supplements, and their consumption reflected a strategy of prevention, or even health optimisation in ageing. The affinities between these supplementation forms and the individuals' social characteristics are discussed. Results suggest that common consumer categories should be better integrated in the measurement of food supplement consumption.
