Proof is in the facts: A visitor at the launch of the Malaysian Dietary Supplements Report 2019-2020 taking a closer look at the findings by Madsa.

PETALING JAYA: Although Malaysians are aware of the need for dietary supplements to complement their diet, they may lack the proper knowledge of the actual nutrients they need, causing them to get the wrong ones, a report found.

According to the report – The Malaysian Dietary Supplements Industry Status and Outlook report 2019-2020 by the Malaysian Dietary Supplement Association (Madsa) – Malaysians do not consume enough legumes, fruit, milk and vegetables, which are rich in nutrients such as calcium and iron but have a fondness for sugary drinks.
