Nutrient synergy refers to the concept that combined effects of two or more nutrients working together have a greater physiological impact on body than when each nutrient is consumed individually. While nutrition science traditionally focuses isolating single study their effects, it recognized interact in complex ways, and consumption can lead additive effects. Additionally, Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) provide guidelines prevent deficiencies excessive intake but are not designed assess potential synergistic consuming together. Even term often applied different manners depending scientific discipline. Considering these issues, aim this narrative review investigate health benefits supplements combination, we define as synergy, which has gained considerable attention for its overall well-being.
