Nahrungsergänzungsmittel unter psychosomatischer Betrachtung

Nahrungsergänzungsmittel haben ihren Einsatz längst nicht mehr nur im Kontext einer Mangelprophylaxe.

Erkenntnisse aus der Ernährungswissenschaft, Psychiatrie und Inneren Medizin werden zunehmend zusammen betrachtet und können in eine individualisierte Therapie münden.
