Nutritional Supplements: Facts for Your FamilyNutritional Supplements Assistance |

Botanical supplements are nutritional supplements that use a botanical. A botanical is a plant or plant part valued for its medicinal or therapeutic properties, flavor, and or scent. Herbs are a subset of botanicals. Products made from botanicals that are used to maintain or improve health may be called herbal products, botanical products, or phytomedicines.
In naming botanicals, botanists use a Latin name made up of the genus and species of the plant. Under this system the botanical black cohosh is known as Actaea racemosa L., where "L" stands for Linneaus, who first described the type of plant specimen. In the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) fact sheets, we do not include such initials because they do not appear on most products used by consumers.
