Supplement News
A supplement is a product taken orally that contains one or more ingredients (like vitamins, minerals, herbs, or amino acids) intended to supplement one’s diet and are not considered food. These products are available in various forms, including tablets, capsules, powders, and liquids. Supplements are widely used to ensure adequate intake of specific nutrients, support health and wellness, improve athletic performance, and prevent or address dietary deficiencies. While they can provide health benefits, supplements should not replace a balanced diet and may interact with medications or lead to adverse effects if not used properly. Regulations regarding the safety and marketing of supplements vary by country, with some requiring strict safety testing and others adopting more lenient policies.
