A dietary supplement is a product intended to add to or supplement the diet, supplying nutrients or other substances in concentrated form. Supplements include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, herbs and botanicals, enzymes, probiotics, and other ingredients, and they are taken to address dietary gaps, support specific physiological functions, or pursue particular health goals. Their composition, quality, and labeling vary, and concerns include the accuracy of label claims, interactions with medications, and the risk of adulteration, in which undeclared or pharmaceutical substances are added to a product. As such, dietary supplements are studied within human nutrition for both their potential benefits and their safety and regulation. The International Journal of Nutrition is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal covering nutrition, food composition, and dietary products. Its scope is reflected in relevant research, including a study identifying and quantifying an adulterant in a dietary supplement marketed for sexual enhancement, which addresses a key supplement-safety concern, and a review article examining nutraceuticals, products that overlap with the supplement category. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to dietary supplements, their composition, and their safe use.
