The official spokesman for the Ministry of Health, Dr. Abdullah Al-Sanad, told KUNA that the use of nutritional supplements is actually increasing around the world, amid expectations that global spending on them will reach $306.8 billion by 2026, after it was about $140.4 billion in 2020, according to World Metrics.


Al-Sanad added that to take supplements in a medically sound manner, it is recommended to first consult a doctor or nutritionist to ensure that they are appropriate for the health condition and to avoid excessive doses or drug interactions. He called for reading the instructions on the packages carefully and adhering to the recommended dose without exceeding it, because excessive intake of some vitamins or Metals may cause health problems.
