- Understand appropriate dosing for your specific situation
Never Replace Standard Medical Care
Supplements should be considered complementary to, not replacements for, standard medical care. Never:
- • Delay seeking medical attention for serious symptoms
- • Stop taking prescribed medications without consulting your doctor
- • Use supplements as a substitute for evidence-based medical treatment
- • Ignore new or worsening symptoms while taking supplements
- • Self-treat serious medical conditions

Clinical trials report average effects across groups of people. Your individual response to a supplement may differ from study results due to:
Genetic Factors
Genetic variations affect how you metabolize and respond to supplements
Health Status
Existing conditions, medications, and overall health influence outcomes
Lifestyle Factors
Diet, exercise, sleep, stress, and other habits impact effectiveness
Product Quality
Supplement quality and bioavailability vary between manufacturers
No guarantees or assurances are made regarding results you may experience.

Dietary supplements are regulated differently than pharmaceutical drugs:
- ⚠️The FDA does not approve supplements for safety or efficacy before they reach the market
- ⚠️Manufacturers are responsible for ensuring safety, but oversight is limited
- ⚠️Product quality, purity, and potency can vary significantly between brands
- ⚠️Claims on supplement labels may not be substantiated by rigorous scientific evidence
- ⚠️Supplements can still cause side effects and interact with medications despite being "natural"
