Despite supplements sometimes being beneficial and having a relatively low-risk profile, there are some downsides and dangers to supplements. In this episode, I share some things to look out for when it comes to supplements, as well as a couple of things you can do to keep your safety and health in check if you decide to supplement.
Some things you can look for on the labels of your supplements are that the supplement company practices Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and you get some bonus points if they are third-party tested for accuracy and quality (this will usually cost more). Also, here are some resources for you:
- You can learn more here on the FDA’s website if you are in the United States: https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/fda-101-dietary-supplements
- https://examine.com/ is an excellent resource for learning more about supplements and which ones may be beneficial for you, once you speak with your qualified medical professional.
