Marketing - Marketing / Market Research / Dietary supplements
English term or phrase: Dietary supplement
We had the phrase "the world's best dietary supplement" translated into Turkish for us, but it seems the words dietary supplement are missing from the translation we received, which was "Dunyadaki en iyi yararli sey"

I would be very grateful if someone could help us out with this - we just need to make sure that the Turkish translation actually says "the world's best dietary supplement".

Thanks in advance!

Gıda Takviyesi
Explanation:
The common usage of the phrase in Turkish is "gıda takviyesi" and also "besin takviyesi".
The both terms are commonly used whereas "diyet takviyesi" is rarely seen in marketing texts and in advertorials.
Also the terms "besin desteği" or "gıda desteği" are also used in some marketing texts.

A dietary supplement, also known as food supplement or nutritional supplement, is a preparation intended to provide nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, fatty acids or amino acids, that are missing or are not consumed in sufficient quantity in a person's diet. Some countries define dietary supplements as foods, while in others they are defined as drugs.

Yukarıdaki tanıma göre, sadece diyet için değil, normal beslenme düzeninde alınamayan vitamin ve minerallerin de alınmasını sağlamak için hazırlanmış destek ürünleri bunlar. Sadece diyete yönelik değil. Tabiki "diyet" kelimesi daha çok "rejim yapmayı" çağrıştırdığı için böyle düşündüm.

agree  Selcuk Akyuz: "gıda takviyesi" is also used. IMO, "dünyanın en iyi ..." is better.

agree  Erkan Dogan: Bu sanki daha uygun. Her ne kadar gıda takviyesi de kullanılıyor olsa da, bence bu tanım beslenmeyle ilgili daha teknik bir terim. Ayrıca bu metne "beslenme takviyesi" sanki daha iyi uyuyor.

  -> evet, besin takviyesi terimi bana da teknik geliyor vitamin protein vs takviyesi olarak anlıyorum, Gıda takviyesi terimi bana kaymaklı ekmek kadayıfını hatırlatıyor :)

neutral  Emin Arı: "diyet" Türkçede beslenme değil, zayıflama amaçlı yapılan diyet için kullanılıyo

agree  Kıvılcım Erdogan: daha yerinde bir karşılık. google'da arattığınızda, terimin, özellikle medikal ürünler için, yaygın olarak kullanıldığını görebilirsiniz.

  -> Teşekkür ederim.
neutral  Ayşe Kıvılcım Karazor: Aslında hangisinin yerinde olduğunu bilebilmemiz için pazarlama metninin hedef kitlesi de önemli değil midir? Çünkü genel algı, diyetin zayıflamak için az yemek olduğu ve takviyelerinin de bunu kolaylaştıran ürünler olduğu yönünde.

My answer to Askr; "the world's best dietary supplement" should read as follows: dünyanın en iyi besinsel katkısı". Hope it matches what you expect to get in fluent Turkish woring. Rgds.
