Supplements in everyday life: Chlorella, spirulina, kale and omega-3

A dietary supplement can be a practical addition to a varied and balanced diet, but it does not replace real food. Many use supplements to get a little extra of the things that can be hard to get enough of in a busy everyday life. Here you get an overview of some of the supplements many people take, and what they contain.

What is a dietary supplement, really?

A dietary supplement is, as the name says, a supplement to the diet, not a replacement for food or a treatment. It can be vitamins, minerals, plant extracts or oils. The most important thing is to see it as part of a healthy lifestyle with a varied diet, movement and sleep.

Green supplements: Chlorella, spirulina and kale

ByLykke Chlorella and Chlorella & Spirulina are tablets of microalgae, grown in Denmark. They contain, among other things, vitamin B12 and chlorophyll. B12 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to the normal function of the nervous system. Green supplements are easy to take as part of the morning routine.

ByLykke Kale Powder is freeze-dried, organic Danish kale. It can be stirred into smoothies, juice or water if you want to get more vegetables into everyday life in an easy way.

Omega-3 from the sea

ByLykke Omega 3 is Calanus oil, a sustainable omega-3 source from northern Norway. The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart with a daily intake of 250 mg. Always follow the recommended dosage on the package.

Oils and vitamins for the whole family

ByLykke Oil of Beauty is a blend of eight cold-pressed organic oils, intended as a daily supplement of plant oils.

ByLykke Children's Vitamin all-in-one is a liquid multivitamin for children from 4 years, which is easy to give if tablets are difficult. Follow the dosage on the package, and do not give more than recommended.

Good habits with supplements

• Talk to your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication
