Dietary supplements supply nutrients that we may not get through our eating
habits. They are available in various forms such as powders and liquids. They
may also contain minerals, vitamins and substances like protein and fiber.
Supplements for nutrition are designed to support a healthy eating and
lifestyle, and may help with particular nutritional deficiencies, improve
general health and well-being and improve the performance of athletes or
increase muscle size. It is important to keep in mind that supplements should
not be substitutes for a nutritious eating plan. Check with your physician prior
to starting a new supplement regime.
