Abstract: Currently there is no comprehensive updated information on sports supplements that covers the different areas related to these products: classification, uses, legislation, consumption, availability, safety, etc. A nutritional supplement is a product taken orally that contains a "dietary ingredient" to supplement the diet or to improve sports performance. Generally, the athlete looks for an ergogenic effect in the nutritional supplement; that is, an aid to improve physical performance. The terms “dietary supplements”, “nutritional ergogenic aids”, “nutritional therapeutic supplements”, among others, are used to describe the wide variety of products that collectively make up the sports supplements industry. The supplements contain some nutritional properties in their composition, so they can dissolve the hydroxyapatite crystals in the enamel and promote the dental corrosion process. Therefore, this work will try to clarify what is allowed to be used, and the influence that the use of Supplementation may have on oral health.
