Herbs are now classified as dietary supplements, and the definition also includes amino acids, glandulars (processed animal glands), enzymes, fish oils, and various extracts, such as flower essences.

A supplement is anything that is added, especially to make up for a lack or a deficiency. A dietary supplement, then, is anything consumed to make up for perceived deficiencies in one's diet. In the "Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act" (DSHEA) of 1994, Congress broadly defined the term "dietary supplement" as any product intended for ingestion hat contains a "dietary ingredient" intended to supplement the diet. The "dietary ingredients" in these products may include: vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals, amino acids, and substances such as enzymes, organ tissues, glandular's, and metabolites. Dietary supplements can also be extracts or concentrates and may be found in many forms such as tablets, capsules, softgels, gelcaps, liquids, or powders.

The term "dietary supplement" has a specific legal meaning in the U.S. established by DSHEA. It refers to a product that supplements the diet and whose label clearly states that it is a dietary supplement. It is distinct from a drug which is represented as a substance that is intended to diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent diseases and which must undergo extensive testing and be preapproved by the FDA before being sold. There are specific cases where dietary supplements may also be labeled as impacting disease. Dietary supplements may contain the following kinds of ingredients: vitamins, minerals, herbs, botanicals, other plant-derived substances, amino acids (the individual building blocks of protein) and concentrates, metabolites, constituents, and extracts of these substances. They are intended for ingestion in pill, capsule, tablet, or liquid form and are not represented for use as a conventional food or as the sole item of a meal or diet.

Vitamins, minerals, or other substances taken by mouth, and intended as an addition to the diet.
