health supplements

Wellness pills, powders

Health supplements are products taken orally to add nutrients or other substances to the diet, including vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, and enzymes.

They come in forms like pills, capsules, powders, and liquids, and are marketed to support general wellness or address specific health concerns.

Unlike prescription medications, supplements in most countries face lighter regulatory scrutiny and don't require proof of effectiveness before sale.
