THE SHORT VERSION
A consumer-first checklist for labels, ingredients, dose transparency, interactions and marketing claims.
Supplements deserve more scrutiny than ordinary consumer goods.
Read the full label
Look for clearly stated ingredient amounts rather than relying only on front-label claims.
Separate evidence from advertising
Evidence for an individual ingredient does not automatically prove that a finished product produces the same result.
Consider interactions
People using medication or managing a medical condition should discuss supplement use with a qualified healthcare professional.
