PY - 2019 T2 - Goldfrank's Toxicologic Emergencies, 11e AB - Dietary supplements include vitamins, minerals, plant-and animal-derived preparations, amino acids, and a variety of other “natural” and “traditional” remedies with established history of use. Within the United States regulatory context, dietary supplements are distinct from medications because this term is reserved for drugs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which are regulated more rigorously in terms of safety and effectiveness. Although these products are distinct from medications, they contain xenobiotics that have many physiologic effects on the human body.
