Nutritional supplements
By Mayo Clinic staffNutritional supplements are meant to complement a healthy diet, not replace it. If you're generally healthy and eat a wide variety of foods, you may not need to take nutritional supplements.
However, if you don't eat enough healthy foods or don't eat a healthy variety of foods, you may need to consider nutritional supplements. Talk with your doctor or a dietitian about which nutritional supplements might be appropriate for you and in what doses. Be sure to ask about possible side effects of nutritional supplements you're considering — and if they have interactions with medications you take.
