No, not unless they're prescribed by your doctor.

 

According to Nutritional Supplements in the IRS' Publication 502 (2022), Medical and Dental Expenses:

You can't include in medical expenses the cost of nutritional supplements, vitamins, herbal supplements, “natural medicines,” etc., unless they are recommended by a medical practitioner as treatment for a specific medical condition diagnosed by a physician. These items are taken to maintain your ordinary good health and aren't for medical care.
