What term describes a product taken to supplement daily nutrition rather than to treat disease?

• A. Drug
• B. Dietary supplement
• C. Drill
• D. Composition

Answer: (B)

The main idea is distinguishing products used to support daily nutrition from those used to address disease. A dietary supplement is a product taken to add to the diet and provide nutrients that may be missing or insufficient in daily intake; it’s intended to support overall nutrition rather than treat or prevent disease. In contrast, a drug is meant to diagnose, treat, or prevent disease, a drill is unrelated to nutrition, and composition refers to the makeup of something rather than a nutrition product. So the term that fits the description is dietary supplement.
