Types of Dietary Supplements

Dietary supplements are products designed to complement nutrients that cannot be obtained sufficiently through diet alone. Various types such as protein, BCAA, creatine, and omega-3 fatty acids help improve sports performance and maintain health. Each supplement has characteristic effects and appropriate intake timing, and synergistic effects can be expected by selecting and combining them according to purpose.
