Supplements are just that—supplemental to a healthy diet, not replacements or cures.

The FDA regulates supplements differently than pharmaceuticals; safety and effectiveness are not guaranteed before sale.
Choose supplements that have been third-party tested for ingredient accuracy and purity (free from heavy metals and adulterants).
Consistency and personalization are key; consult healthcare providers when needed.
