In this video, Darshan distinguishes between dietary supplements and drugs. The
primary difference lies in the claims they can make. Dietary supplements are treated as foods and can only make limited claims, such as improving health or well-being. In contrast, drugs undergo rigorous FDA approvals and trials to make claims of curing, treating, preventing, or mitigating diseases. While there may not be much difference chemically, the key distinction is in the level of proof required for their claims. Darshan highlights that drugs may have once been dietary supplements but must meet higher evidentiary standards.
