How to find safe supplements & vitamins in 2023
-
Research the supplement: Look for information about the supplement online, including clinical studies, reviews, and consumer reports. Check reputable sources like the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Dietary Supplements, the FDA, or independent third-party organizations like ConsumerLab.com or LabDoor.com.
-
Look for certifications: Some supplement manufacturers voluntarily obtain certifications from organizations like NSF International or the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) that verify the product’s purity, potency, and quality. PolyC's is GMP certified, meaning that our formula is vegan & Kosher.
-
Read the label: Check the label for ingredients, serving size, and any warnings or contraindications. Be wary of supplements that make unrealistic or exaggerated claims. Read the label for potential fillers and plastics. PolyC's is proud to be an all natural supplement in clear, veggie capsules.
-
Consult with a healthcare professional: Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or a licensed healthcare practitioner before taking any supplements, especially if you have any pre-existing medical conditions, take prescription medications, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Remember, even if a supplement is natural, it does not necessarily mean it is safe or effective. Some supplements can interact with medications, cause adverse effects, or lead to nutrient imbalances. Therefore, it is essential to take a cautious and informed approach when considering any dietary supplement.
Always consult your doctor before starting any new supplements.
