Natural supplements
In 1994, Congress passed the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act which defines natural supplements as being pills, liquids, powders or capsules that are intended to supply nutrients that would normally be absent (due to allergies or convictions).
Natural supplements are available in almost every health-food or grocery store due to the popularity of holistic alternatives to prescription drugs. By FDA standards, however, they cannot claim (advertise on the bottle) to cure, mitigate or treat any serious diseases.
Although they can’t cure diseases, natural supplements can supply much-needed nutrients for those with dietary restrictions. For example a lactose-intolerant person can get their recommended calcium intake without having to consume milk or cheese.
