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.
