Abstract
The term “dietary supplement” refers to a wide variety of items that include vitamins and minerals, herbs and other botanicals, amino acids, enzymes, and other substances. Dietary supplements come in a variety of types, including pills, gummies, powders, liquids, teas, and bars. Dietary supplements, unlike medicines (drugs), are not designed to treat, diagnose, prevent, or cure illness. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates all prescription and non-prescription medications. Dietary supplements, on the other hand, are viewed more like special foods. In general, the FDA considers new drugs to be harmful unless they are shown safe in clinical studies.
