Nutrient supplementation involves taking vitamins, minerals, or other dietary compounds to support overall health or address specific deficiencies. It’s often used when a person's diet lacks certain nutrients or when increased needs arise due to health conditions, age, or lifestyle. Supplements can help prevent deficiencies, improve energy levels, and support bodily functions, but they should complement a balanced diet rather than replace healthy eating habits. Proper use requires understanding individual needs and consulting healthcare professionals to ensure safety and effectiveness.
