Ya I know.... A dietary supplement is a product intended for
ingestion that contains a "dietary ingredient"
intended to add further nutritional value to
(supplement) the diet. A "dietary ingredient"
may be one, or any combination, of the
following substances:
a vitamin

a dietary substance for use by people to
supplement the diet by increasing the total
dietary intake

Dietary supplements may be found in many
forms such as tablets, capsules, softgels,
gelcaps, liquids, or powders. Some dietary
supplements can help ensure that you get an
adequate dietary intake of essential nutrients;
others may help you reduce your risk of
disease.
