What Is a "Dietary Supplement"?
A dietary supplement is any product that contains a "dietary ingredient" intended to add to the diet. These ingredients may be any of the following substances:
a vitamin,
a mineral,
an herb or other botanical,

The fact:
A lot of people don’t realize that herbal medicines, vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements are all medicines.
Medicines: Drugs which treat any medical condition.
Supplements: Adds your nutritional requirement which you can’t get from contaminated food.
