Since 1994,when DSHEA was passed,the definition of dietary supplements has broadened.A product that contains a vitamin,mineral,herb,amino acid,or other botanic or dietary substance used to supplement the diet is considered a dietary supplement; this includes concentrates,metabolites,constituents,extracts,and combinations of listed ingredients.These supplements are no longer subject to premarket safety evaluations by the FDA.
