dietary supplements
Extra health nutrients
Dietary supplements are products taken to add nutrients or other substances to the diet—vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, or enzymes.
They come as pills, capsules, powders, or liquids.
Supplements are intended to complement food intake, not replace it: She takes iron supplements because she's anemic.
The industry is loosely regulated compared to pharmaceuticals.
