The essentials
A clearer starting point.
Start with a purpose
Some supplements help address particular needs, but they do not replace a varied diet. Ask what outcome you are trying to achieve.
Read the whole label
Check the ingredients, amount per serving and suggested use. Look for overlap with other products you already take.
Check with a professional
Supplements can interact with medicines and affect surgery. Share a complete list with your clinician or pharmacist.
Put it into practice
Bring better questions.
Before buying, write down the product name and the claim that caught your attention. Ask whether there is evidence for that product or ingredient in your situation, how a benefit would be assessed and when to review its use.
