A member asked:
Please tell me what does dietary supplement mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dietary Supplement: A dietary supplement is not regulated by the FDA and cannot be touted by the manufacturer to treat or cure any condition or disease. A dietary supplement is only designed to supplement the amount of that substance that you receive in the food you eat as part of your normal diet. While these supplements can have pharmacologic effects, they are not considered drugs and not highly regulated.
