Superfoods vs. dietary supplements – differences, examples, and tips

Superfoods vs. dietary supplements – what's the difference?

The terms "superfoods" and "dietary supplements" are increasingly being used. But what exactly do they mean—and how do they differ? In this article, we'll take a look at the similarities and differences, and why both can play an exciting role in everyday life.

🌱 What are superfoods?

The term "superfood" is often used to describe plant-based foods that are particularly nutrient-dense. Examples include:

• Goji berries
• Chia seeds
• Spirulina
• Maca
• Chaga and other medicinal mushrooms

Many of these products are natural and can be easily incorporated into smoothies, bowls or teas.

💊 What are dietary supplements?

Dietary supplements are concentrated forms of specific nutrients or plant substances. They are available in tablet, capsule, or powder form and allow for targeted absorption.

At Hanoju you can find, for example:

• Organic Spirulina Tablets
• Curcuma with piperine
• Omega-3 capsules
• Hyaluronic collagen tablets

🔍 Differences at a glance

• Form : Superfoods are mostly natural foods, whereas food supplements are standardized products.
• Application : Superfoods can be incorporated directly into meals, and dietary supplements can be taken specifically.
• Variety : While superfoods often vary seasonally or regionally, dietary supplements offer consistent dosage and availability.

🌍 Similarities

Both approaches have one thing in common: they make it possible to integrate the diversity of nature into your diet – whether as a fresh superfood or as a practical supplement in the form of capsules or tablets.
