Recommendations

Before purchasing a supplement, it is essential to be properly informed.

If you are considering a herbal supplement, check the label for the scientific name, the part of the plant used, and the common name to get a complete picture of the ingredients. Also make sure the label has the manufacturer's contact information or website: reputable companies always offer a way to communicate and respond to any questions.

Be wary of products that promise “miracle effects” or “guaranteed results without side effects,” as they can often hide dangerous or ineffective substances. Also, if you need to undergo surgery, ask your doctor if you need to stop taking the supplement: some components can take weeks to be eliminated from the body.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, use only supplements recommended by your doctor, as the safety of many products in these conditions is not fully known. Never replace prescription medications with supplements without consulting your doctor, and avoid using them to treat serious conditions such as cancer: if a product promises too much, it is probably not effective or safe.

Remember that supplements are not a substitute for a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Always follow the doses indicated on the label, keep them out of reach of children and consult a doctor if you have specific pathologies, are a child or over 65 years old. If you are allergic to one of the ingredients, avoid taking the product.

Beware of supplements that claim to treat many different conditions or that claim to be miracle cures; they may be sold illegally as drugs. Don’t assume that “natural” means safe; even some natural plants can be toxic.

Always choose supplements produced by traceable companies, with rigorous quality standards. Opt for transparent, certified products supported by a safe production process. Making informed choices is the first step towards authentic well-being.
