How to use these nutrition guides safely
Start small. Try one change at a time so you can spot benefits or side effects. For herbs and supplements, begin at a low dose and track effects for 1–3 weeks. If you take prescription meds, ask your doctor about interactions — for example, some herbs affect blood pressure, blood sugar, or how drugs are metabolized.
Buy quality. Look for third-party testing (USP, NSF, or similar), clear ingredient lists, and honest labels. Cheap supplements often have fillers or inconsistent dosing.
Watch for red flags: stomach pain, rashes, dizziness, sudden mood shifts, or new sleep problems. If any of those show up, stop and check with a healthcare pro.
Use food first. Supplements fill gaps, they don’t replace a varied diet. Protein, fiber, fruits, veggies, and regular meals matter more than any capsule. Use these guides to make smart choices that fit your life, not to chase quick fixes.
If you want a recommendation based on age, pregnancy, or a health condition, mention it when you ask your clinician — the right supplement for a healthy adult can be harmful in pregnancy or with chronic disease.
