A dietary supplement is a manufactured product intended to supplement the diet when taken by mouth as a pill, capsule, tablet, or liquid.

A supplement can provide nutrients either extracted from food sources or synthetic, individually or in combination, in order to increase the quantity of their consumption.

The class of nutrient compounds includes vitamins, minerals, fiber, fatty acids and amino acids.

Dietary supplements can also contain substances that have not been confirmed as being essential to life, but are marketed as having a beneficial biological effect, such as plant pigments or polyphenols.

Animals can also be a source of supplement ingredients, as for example collagen from chickens or fish.

These are also sold individually and in combination, and may be combined with nutrient ingredients.

In the United States and Canada, dietary supplements are considered a subset of foods, and are regulated accordingly.

The European Commission has also established harmonized rules to help insure that food supplements are safe and properly labeled.

Among other countries, the definition of dietary supplements may vary as drugs or other classes of ingredients used in supplement products.

Herbalism (also herbal medicine) is the study of botany and use of plants intended for medicinal purposes.

Plants have been the basis for medical treatments through much of human history, and such traditional medicine is still widely practiced today.

Modern medicine makes use of many plant-derived compounds as the basis for evidence-based pharmaceutical drugs.

Although phytotherapy may apply modern standards of effectiveness testing to herbs and medicines derived from natural sources, few high-quality clinical trials and standards for purity or dosage exist.

The scope of herbal medicine is sometimes extended to include fungal and bee products, as well as minerals, shells and certain animal parts.
