🌞 World Vitamin D Day reminds us of the importance of maintaining adequate vitamin D levels, especially among older adults.

🦴💪 Vitamin D contributes to the reduction of the risk of falling associated with postural instability and muscle weakness among men and women 60 years of age and older. It also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and muscle function, and the normal function of the immune system across all age groups.

💡 EFSA scientific opinions confirm the role of vitamin D in reducing the risk of falls among older adults (https://lnkd.in/eNDEp7tG) and in supporting bone, muscle, and immune function across all age groups (https://lnkd.in/eZu4mnU5)

Recent research highlights that Vitamin D deficiency remains widespread across Europe, affecting up to 40% of the population, with low intakes linked to muscle weakness, fatigue, falls, and fractures: https://lnkd.in/e97HUz5F

🍽🌞💊 As the days grow shorter, World Vitamin D Day is a timely reminder that a balanced diet, time outdoors, and responsible supplementation where appropriate can make meaningful contributions to public health and personal wellbeing.

Why food supplements 👇

16/10/2025

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death in the EU, claiming more than 1.7 million lives each year. According to the European Commission, CVDs also cost the European economy approximately €280 billion annually through increased healthcare cost and decreased economic output.

💡 This World Heart Day, FSE highlights the role of food supplements in reducing CVD risk and decreasing healthcare costs:

🐟 Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) are long-chain polyunsaturated fats that support cardiovascular health by helping maintain normal blood triglyceride levels and normal blood pressure.

✅ Analysis by Frost & Sullivan shows that targeted supplementation of Omega-3 fatty acids could save Europe more than €7 billion annually in avoidable CVD-related hospitalisations:

🌿 Phytosterols, including plant sterols and stanols, are compounds which occur naturally in some plants. They help lower blood cholesterol by competing with dietary cholesterol during absorption. High cholesterol is a coronary heart disease risk factor.

✅ Analysis by Frost & Sullivan shows that targeted supplementation of phytosterols could save Europe more than €4 billion annually in avoidable CVD-related hospitalisations:

👉 The science is clear: food supplements can be part of the solution to Europe’s CVD burden. Integrating them into EU health and nutrition strategies could save lives, reduce costs, and help ensure that no beat is missed.

🌱 Functional Foods vs. Supplements 💊

When it comes to nutrition, whole foods always win! 🥦🍊

Functional foods (like oats, nuts, yogurt, berries) not only give you vitamins & minerals but also fiber, antioxidants, and other natural compounds your body loves. ✨

Supplements can help fill gaps, but they can’t replace the power of balanced, nutrient-rich meals. 🍽💚

👉 Focus on eating the rainbow 🌈 and use supplements only when needed.
