Nutritional supplements

How would you translate nutritional supplements into Spanish?
While in English you can just say ¨nutritionals¨and be understood more or less, you cannot do the same in Spanish b/c "nutritivos" doesn't exist and "nutritivo" means to nurture!
Any suggestions?

wouldn't that be more for actual weight loss products? - bellamora08, Dec 18, 2010
no, they can be used to improve your muscle growth and stamina - mediterrunio, Dec 18, 2010
maybe you meant ´suplementos dietéticos´ - mediterrunio, Dec 18, 2010

"Nutritional" is also related to nurture, a word that originally meant only to feed, to provide nutrients, which is the only meaning in "nutritivo" (which doesn't have anything to do with "bringing up children"). "Nutritivos" is the plural of "nutritivo".
