Drugs and dietary supplements have completely other regulations.

https://www.fda.gov/food/information...ry-supplements

In short:
Drugs have very hard regulations, can claim that they do something against a disease.
Food supplements are seen as food more or less.
If they claim too much that they improve health, they are in danger of being seen as drugs.
Meaning:
they would require expensive double blind studies for market entry.
