supplementation
This term describes the intentional act of adding a component to a whole to fill a gap or increase effectiveness. It carries a clinical or administrative tone, making it more formal than the word "addition." In professional contexts, it often implies a corrective measure intended to resolve a specific deficiency or shortfall.
In medical and nutritional contexts, the word is used almost exclusively as an uncountable noun to describe the general practice of taking supplements. While it can technically be pluralized in rare administrative contexts (e.g., different types of budget supplementations), it is overwhelmingly treated as a mass noun in standard usage.
