Dietary Supplements: These are products intended to supplement the diet and provide nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, fatty acids, or amino acids, that may be missing or may not be consumed in sufficient quantities in a person's diet.

Nutrient Metabolism: This refers to the set of chemical reactions that occur in living organisms in order to maintain life. These processes allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments.

Nutritional Epidemiology: This is the study of the relationship between diet and health in populations. It looks at the role of nutrition in the etiology of disease and the health implications of various dietary patterns or nutritional status in populations.

Nutritional Genomics: Also known as nutrigenomics, this is a science studying the relationship between human genome, nutrition and health. It aims to develop rational means to optimise nutrition with respect to an individual's genotype.
