Knowledge and Opinion of First-Year Pharmacy Students About Herbal/Dietary Supplements

Background: Herbal and dietary supplements have been the cornerstone of historic pharmaceutical therapy. Cultural attributes and holistic or plant-based modifications have restructured the method in which we supplement our diets. The fact that herbal and dietary supplements are underrepresented in research, downplays the miraculous progression in medicine by way of our natural environment. For this reason, underrepresented groups in research, such as minorities, have undefined knowledge of herbal and dietary supplemental benefits, promoting reliance on prescription medications to self-treat and recommend.
