How to Assess Supplements Without Bold Claims

A transparent formulation, clear dosage and verified source matter more than a promise of fast results.

A good choice starts with the label, not an advertising slogan. Check the active ingredient, amount per serving, additional ingredients, storage conditions and manufacturer details.

A short checklist before buying

Define your goal, compare it with the formulation and check whether the product duplicates anything already present in your diet or other supplement combinations.

  • avoid guarantees of results;
  • check the units of measurement;
  • look for batch and expiry information;
  • assess the total amount of active ingredients.
The more specific the label, the easier it is to ask the right questions about the product.

Important. Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all supplements if you take medicines, are preparing for a procedure, are pregnant or are breastfeeding.

After purchase
