natural supplement

Non-synthetic health booster

A natural supplement is a dietary product derived from plant, animal, or mineral sources rather than synthesized in a laboratory.

The term appears on vitamins, herbal extracts, and health products: She takes natural supplements for joint pain. "Natural" is largely a marketing distinction—these products still undergo processing and are not strictly regulated for efficacy.
