Supplements, in the context of health and nutrition, refer to products or substances that are taken in addition to regular dietary intake. They are intended to complement or enhance one's diet by providing essential nutrients, minerals, vitamins, or other beneficial components that might be lacking.
These products come in various forms such as pills, capsules, powders, liquids, or chewable tablets, and are commonly available over-the-counter or from healthcare professionals. Supplements can be comprised of individual nutrients, combinations of various substances, or natural extracts from plants, animals, or other sources.
The primary purpose of supplements is to bridge nutritional gaps or deficiencies that may result from inadequate diet, restricted eating habits, or certain medical conditions. Consequently, they are used to promote and support general health, prevent diseases, improve athletic performance, boost immune system function, or address specific concerns like hair, skin, and joint health.
It is important to note that supplements are not intended to replace a balanced diet or serve as a substitute for healthy eating habits. They are meant to supplement a person's overall nutritional intake and should be used judiciously under proper guidance. While some supplements may have scientific evidence supporting their efficacy, others may not have sufficient studies or regulation. Consulting a healthcare professional is recommended before starting any supplementation regimen to ensure safety, efficacy, and compatibility with an individual's specific needs and health conditions.

The word "supplements" originates from the Latin term "supplementum", which means "something added to complete a thing". The word is derived from the verb "supplere", meaning "to fill up" or "to complete". "Supplementum" was initially used in Latin to refer to a writing added to a book or a document to provide additional information. Over time, the term expanded in meaning to include anything that is added to enhance or complete something, such as an additional nutritional substance added to a diet to complement deficiencies. This Latin root forms the basis for the English word "supplements" we use today.
