Supplement
A non-medication product (e.g., a nutrient or herbal item) you can track like any other item.
A supplement is a product taken to supplement the diet — for example an amino acid, herbal, or nutrient product. In PeptideWiz it’s handled as a general tracked item with its own amount, schedule, reminders, and log.
Tracking supplements alongside peptides, vitamins, and medications gives you one place to see everything that’s due today and your history over time.
Not medical advice. PeptideWiz is a tracking and organization tool. These definitions are general education only — not medical advice, a recommendation, or instructions for use. Always work with a licensed medical provider.
Frequently asked questions
What is a dietary supplement?
A dietary supplement is a product taken by mouth that contains an ingredient intended to add to or supplement the diet, such as vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, or enzymes. They come in forms like tablets, capsules, powders, and liquids. In PeptideWiz, a supplement is a non-medication item you can track like any other. NIH Office of Dietary Supplements
Are dietary supplements regulated by the FDA?
Supplements are regulated by the FDA as a category of food, not as drugs. This means the FDA does not review supplements for safety or effectiveness before they are sold the way it reviews prescription and over-the-counter medications. Manufacturers are largely responsible for the safety and labeling of their products. NIH Office of Dietary Supplements
Do I need a prescription to buy a supplement?
Dietary supplements are generally sold without a prescription. However, supplements can interact with medications or affect certain health conditions, so it is wise to talk with your healthcare provider before starting one. PeptideWiz helps you log supplements but does not recommend them or advise on their use. MedlinePlus
What is the difference between a supplement and a medication?
A supplement is a non-medication product meant to supplement the diet, while a medication is regulated as a drug and is intended to prevent, treat, or manage conditions. They are reviewed by the FDA under different rules, with drugs facing pre-market review that supplements do not. PeptideWiz can track both but does not make clinical distinctions or offer advice about them.
How do I track a supplement in PeptideWiz?
You add the supplement as an item and can create a protocol with its amount, schedule, and reminders. An administration log lets you keep a record of when you took it. This is simple recordkeeping to help you stay organized, not health or dosing advice.
