Supplements

Use the stated ingredients and directions to compare products rather than relying on broad wellness claims. Supplements do not diagnose, treat or prevent disease, and professional advice may be appropriate for medicines, pregnancy or health conditions.

Check the amount per serving, serving size and servings per pack before comparing prices. A larger bottle is not necessarily better value when the recommended serving, ingredient form or intended user is different.

Multivitamins, single-nutrient products and fortified foods can contain the same ingredients. Read the complete label and consider everything already in your routine before combining products.

Compare cost per serving only after checking that the serving size, ingredient amounts, form and intended use are genuinely comparable. Bottle count alone can be misleading.

No. More is not automatically more useful or appropriate. Follow the label and seek professional advice when your needs, medication or health history make the choice uncertain.

Check every label for repeated ingredients before combining products. A doctor or pharmacist can help assess overlap and interactions, especially if you take medication or manage a health condition.
