What it means
A "Dietary Supplement" intervention means the study is giving a supplement — such as a vitamin, mineral, probiotic or nutritional product — and observing what happens.
Why it matters if you take part
Supplements are regulated differently from medicines; the study description sets out the dose and how long it is taken.
