What is a supplement? The dictionary definition of the word supplement is “A thing added to something else in order to complete or enhance it”.
Athletes who believe that they can up their performance through food supplements without taking care of the food that they need are sadly mistaken.
Having said that, food supplements are still important to meet certain nutrition targets. However, these supplements have to be taken in proper consultation with good sports nutritionist. They should only be used as an enhancer to a proper diet.
This article highlights the scope for developing therapeutics with new innovative, alternative approaches. The current trillion dollars pharmaceutical industry is in peril where the current drug development pipeline is slow, inefficient and incapable of being extended to multi-combination drug therapies as well as minimally focused on prevention. The complex modeling of diseases and biological functions has been limited because of the inability to integrate large scale molecular pathways.
Watch this Video to understand how recent advances provide breakthrough technology for doing scalable modeling of complex molecular systems to dramatically accelerate drug discovery and development.
