A dietary supplement, also known as food supplement or nutritional supplement, is a preparation intended to provide nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, fatty acids or amino acids, that are missing or are not consumed in sufficient quantity in a person's diet. Some countries define dietary supplements as foods, while in others they are defined as drugs.

Supplements containing vitamins or dietary minerals are included as a category of food in the Codex Alimentarius, a collection of internationally recognized standards, codes of practice, guidelines and other recommendations relating to foods, food production and food safety. These texts are drawn up by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, an organization that is sponsored by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

In the Philippines what are the popular fibre dietary supplements?
Q. And aside from fibre supplements, what are the other dietary supplement products? Please indicate if they are a kind of tea, like Kankunis slimming tea or Biguerlai Slimming Tea, or if they are pills, powdered drinks, etc. If you could give the price in Philippines peso, that would be great, too! Is Xenical popular in the country? Are there competitive products? Tell me all about them and where I can get them when I'm in Manila. Thank you so much!

A. No one will touch this question except your doctor. I would recommend you talk to him about your workout program as well. The fact is, 2 hours in the gym seems a bit excessive depending on your program.
