In June 2020, about 40% of respondents regularly added vitamin C to their diet, 30% ingested supplements with minerals, and a quarter took various vitamins, with the goal of strengthening the body's immunity.
"Physical and mental health are the basis of personal well-being which affects our interaction with others, but also how we affect everyone and everything around us. Therefore, it is important to inform and educate students about healthier lifestyles that will contribute to improving their overall mental and physical health, especially during the academic year when they certainly feel the greatest pressure", said Ricardo Vian Marques, CEO of Galenika Belgrade.
