A supplement is very different to a medication.
Vitamin and mineral supplements are designed to provide essential nutrients that the body needs to function properly.
Ideally, we should be getting all our vitamins and minerals from a balanced diet rich in whole foods... but with modern diet & lifestyle factors many of us don't get enough through food.
Supplements can help fill these gaps and support overall well-being... but they should complement, not replace, a nutrient-rich diet.
On the other hand, medications are typically designed to treat specific conditions by altering biochemical pathways.
