Supplements Powerpoint

Nutritional supplements are products taken orally to supplement one's diet and usually contain dietary ingredients like vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids or enzymes. Common supplements include vitamins, minerals, botanicals/herbs, amino acids and probiotics. While some supplements like calcium, vitamin D and fiber are well-established to provide benefits, others require more research. Supplements should not replace a varied diet and can interact with medications or have risks, so consumers should take them as directed and be informed about potential issues.
