Inquiries are notations on your credit report that indicate when someone has checked your credit file. Only the âhardâ inquiries associated with an application for a new financial obligation, such as a loan or credit card, impact your credit score. A single inquiry typically costs very few points to the score. The Bankrate feature, âHow credit inquiries affect credit scoreâ goes into more detail on the subject.
Supplement. A supplement is a publication that has a role secondary to that of another preceding or concurrent publication. A follow-on publication complements its predecessor, either by bringing it up-to-date, or by otherwise enhancing the predecessor's coverage of a particular topic or subject matter, as in the Tosefta.
Supplements as generally understood include vitamins, minerals, fiber, fatty acids, or amino acids, among other substances. U.S. authorities define dietary supplements as foods, while elsewhere they may be classified as drugs or other products. There are more than 50,000 dietary supplements available. More than half of the U.S. adult population (53% - 55%) consume dietary supplements with most common ones being multivitamins.
