I guess we just have to be very careful about what we hear. Some things may work for others, but not for all..I like to take the natural approach..
hello, here visiting your blog :-) how are you today?
Hi,
A dietary supplement, also known as food supplement or nutritional supplement, is a preparation intended to provide nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, fatty acids or amino acids, that are missing or are not consumed in sufficient quantity in a person's diet. Some countries define dietary supplements as foods, while in others they are defined as drugs.
