Increasingly popular, dietary supplements have become essential.
"Today, there is a wide range of dietary supplements available on the market in pharmacies, parapharmacies, health food stores, and supermarkets."
But are they really effective? Why do we need nutritional supplements today? And how do they work?
To stay healthy, the human body needs a daily intake of various nutrients so that each organ functions optimally. Dietary supplements can be a good boost to combat a temporary deficiency.
At D-LAB, we believe that to achieve concrete and sustainable results, and to tackle a multifactorial issue as a whole, it is also necessary to address its causes. With our personalized D-iagnostic, we support you in finding the micronutrition program perfectly suited to your needs.
What is a dietary supplement?
Dietary supplements contain active ingredients in so-called "food" doses, which can be obtained through food. The goal of micronutrition is to complement a normal diet whose nutritional intakes may vary, no longer meet the specific needs of the body, or even present certain deficiencies.
Dietary supplements can contain 7 families of active components: vitamins, minerals and trace elements, essential fatty acids, amino acids and proteins, plants and mushrooms, prebiotics and probiotics, and enzymes.
As their names suggest, "actives" trigger an action in the body. They can nourish the body's cells, activate a metabolic reaction, or eliminate undesirable substances.
For example, the plant bearberry triggers a diuretic action in the body and thus allows for the elimination of excess water. Zinc, for its part, plays many roles in the body; it is essential for the activity of more than 200 enzymes.
Dietary supplements are subject to the consumer code and undergo strict controls by the Directorate-General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF), just like all nutritional products.
What are his powers?
1 - Address nutritional deficiencies
Our modern lifestyle and ecosystem have gradually altered our way of producing, cultivating, distributing, and consuming food. Yet essential to life, scientists reveal the gradual disappearance of vitamins and minerals in food.
A certain number of nutritional surveys conducted in France have shown that the French population exhibits notable deficiencies in micronutrients, with estimated levels below two-thirds of the RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowances).


Dietary supplements are a valuable aid, as they fill potential deficiencies or risks of deficiencies in the body. They also meet the specific needs of certain populations (pregnant women, elderly people, menopausal women, athletes...)
2 - Eliminate or mitigate daily discomforts:
Discomforts can arise throughout life or during certain periods, even in healthy individuals: difficult digestion, fatigue, stress, trouble sleeping well, joint discomfort... Dietary supplements can provide an effective and natural response to all these everyday inconveniences. They are similar to grandmother's remedies, generally derived from herbal medicine. For example, to combat insomnia, your grandmother used to prepare a chamomile or verbena herbal tea. Similarly, dietary supplements today contain plant extracts whose benefits are recognized by grandmothers, but also by science!
3 - Improve physical condition and appearance:
Improving physical condition involves long-term management of diet, physical activity, and also appropriate supplementation according to one's needs. The appearance of the body, skin, and hair also depends on diet and lifestyle hygiene. Thus, dietary supplements can help improve the quality of the skin and hair.
4 - Staying healthy:
The natural active ingredients present in dietary supplements act on reducing risk factors for diseases while maintaining physiological balance. Thus, micronutrition helps to preserve overall well-being and keep consumers healthy.
How do they act?
To achieve concrete and lasting results with dietary supplements, it is necessary to activate different levers.
"It is in this spirit that D-LAB formulas are developed. Our formulas are crafted with experts in micronutrition to provide you with the right dose of each active ingredient. They address multifactorial issues and combat their causes through various levers."
Nutrition
Because cells are the foundation of our body and its proper functioning, we strive to provide them with the best nutritional active ingredients. In this way, cellular activity is ensured. D-LAB formulas contain specific actives as well as their building blocks for better assimilation and greater benefit.
Metabolism
Metabolism plays a crucial role in bodily functions. Whether it is muscle gain, fat elimination, or skin cleansing, each of the body's activities is regulated by metabolism and the energy transfers it generates. Adequate supplementation of metabolism is at the heart of the issues addressed by D-LAB.
Cellular aging
Whether it occurs as a result of external aggressions such as pollution and UV rays or is induced by our biological clock, cellular aging is an inevitable process. Cells and tissues become particularly weakened. Therefore, we understand the importance of preventing and slowing down these degradation phenomena. That is why we use ingredients with high antioxidant potential.
Traffic
Blood circulation is at the center of biological processes. Composed of a network of vessels that extends over nearly 100,000 km, the circulatory system allows for the various exchanges essential for the assimilation of nutrients, oxygenation, and the elimination of toxins. D-LAB is committed to developing products that restore circulation and microcirculation within tissues.
Detoxification
To ensure the proper functioning of the body, it is essential to eliminate the toxins that accumulate in it. The detoxification process is complex and involves several organs, notably the kidneys, liver, and skin. At D-LAB, maintaining and keeping the filtering organs healthy is a priority.
The microbiota
The microbiota, also called gut flora, is an ecosystem of fragile microorganisms. Its balance is essential and must be preserved to regulate digestion and nutrient absorption. The digestive system occupies a central place. Indeed, it is directly associated with the nervous and immune systems, complexion, and skin health. D-LAB has developed a whole range of dietary supplements based on probiotics to restore the balance of the microbiota.
Hormonal and Nervous Balance
The body synthesizes a multitude of hormones that regulate major biological processes. Emotional balance and physical balance are likely to be affected by hormonal disorders. Similarly, in cases of fatigue or stress, the nervous balance may fail. D-LAB formulas are created to provide the appropriate active ingredients to maintain this balance.
