The nutrient can be described as a chemical that an organism needs to live and grow or a substance used in an organism's metabolism which must be taken in it from its environment. The nutrients are used to build and repair tissue, regulate body processes and are converted to uses as to supply energy to the body, build and repair body tissues, regulate body process. Drug is any substance or product that is used or is intended to be used to modify or explore physiological systems or pathological states for the benefit of the recipient. A drug and nutrient interaction is the effect of a medication on food or a nutrient in food. Medication interacts with food and nutrients in several ways. Dietary nutrients can affect medications by altering their absorption or metabolism. The food we eat could make the medications we take work faster, slower, or even prevent them from working at all. Such interactions raise concerns that medication may lead to nutritional deficiencies or that our diet may change how a medication works. This does not mean that if we are taking a medication we need to use a vitamin or a mineral supplement.
