WHAT IS A DIETARY SUPPLEMENT?
A dietary supplement is a product designed to complement the diet and provide additional nutrients that may not be present in sufficient quantities in daily foods. These products may contain a variety of ingredients, including vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, enzymes, fatty acids, and other dietary components. Dietary supplements come in various forms, such as capsules, tablets, powders, liquids, or gummies.
PURPOSE OF A DIETARY SUPPLEMENT
The main purpose of a dietary supplement is to supplement the body's intake of essential nutrients to function properly. Some people may turn to supplements to improve their overall well-being, strengthen their immune system, enhance athletic performance, or address specific nutritional deficiencies resulting from a restricted diet, health conditions, or life stages such as pregnancy or old age.
Common examples of dietary supplements:
-
Vitamins and minerals : Supplements of vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, etc.

Proteins and amino acids: Such as whey and BCAAs for muscle growth.
