Natural dietary supplements are preparations of plant, mineral or animal origin, which are intended to supplement the daily diet with nutrients, vitamins, minerals or other biologically active ingredients.

They can be used to support health, improve well-being and prevent various diseases. Popular natural supplements include fish oils (a source of omega-3 acids), probiotics, herbs (e.g. ashwagandha, turmeric), plant extracts, as well as vitamins of natural origin, such as vitamin D or vitamin C. The undoubted advantage of natural supplements is their lower chemical processing compared to synthetic equivalents. However, it should be remembered that despite their natural origin, some supplements may cause side effects or interact with medications.

Therefore, the use of dietary supplements should be consulted with a doctor or dietitian, especially in the case of people with chronic diseases and pregnant women.
