Guidelines for Selecting Dietary Supplements
Guidelines for Selecting Dietary Supplements
Verify the ingredients are supported with solid evidence for efficacy and safety from scientific reviews, reputable organizations, and/or well-designed human studies.
Determine whether ingredient forms and dosages in product formulas match evidence-based recommendations.
Check if the product is independently tested to verify label accuracy. For athletes, third-party testing for banned substances is critical.
Request independent research from companies that verifies the claims for their products.
