So I went to the doctor recently because I was diagnosed with a genetic condition. He listed several prescribed medications I could take. However online, many other people with the same condition as me recommended taking supplements/vitamins to help balance out my hormones.
So it got me thinking- if supplements and pills are both manmade edible things- why are medications prescribed but supplements are available anywhere? Don’t they try to serve the same purpose? What am I missing here

Because pills are tested, studied, and regulated.
Supplements make all sorts of claims but most of it is anecdotal.
Pretty much aslong as you can prove its edible and woke poison or hurt the consumer the FDA will allow it to be sold, with whatever claim you want.
