    product made from plants to support health and wellness

    An herbal supplement, also known as an herbal dietary supplement or botanical supplement, is a product made from plants or plant extracts that is used to support health and wellness. These supplements can come in various forms, such as capsules, tablets, teas, or tinctures, and are often used to address specific health concerns or to promote general well-being. While they are widely available and can be beneficial, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional before using them, as they can interact with medications and may not be suitable for everyone.
