It will probably be done a few at a time. This will probably roll out as a "regulation" of availability of certain OTC compounds, and not an outright ban of supplements en masse. So if you're deficient in something specific, it will make it difficult to find it anywhere without a prescription and without it being tracked by the government.
For example, a couple years ago the FDA threatened to regulate NAC, and Amazon just pulled everything with NAC off their site as a "precaution". The FDA didn't actually follow through, and after checking today it has returned to the site after the rule was not enforced- but the availability of NAC was profoundly throttled for at least a year.
The FDA can just charge people who skirt the rule of "practicing medicine without a license" and the news happily reports on this. They went after all kinds of doctors for selling Vitamin D supplements as curatives during the fake pandemic.
