Food first. Supplements second.

Most nutrients are best understood through food, habits and context. A supplement may be useful for some people in some situations, but it isn’t a shortcut and it doesn’t replace a good foundation.

Learn How to Evaluate Supplements

Foundations of Health

Build the Foundation First

Seven foundations of health. Appropriate supplementation is one of them, not the whole picture.

  1. 1Nutrition
  2. 2Movement
  3. 3Sleep
  4. 4Stress management
  5. 5Hydration
  6. 6Preventive care
  7. 7Appropriate supplementation

Supplements should support the foundation—not replace it.

  4. Who might benefit?
  5. Who might not need it?
  6. What are the risks?
  7. What should you look for?

Evidence levels

  • Strong
  • Moderate
  • Limited
  • Insufficient

We show “Evidence Review Pending” unless our editorial team has actually evaluated the evidence for that ingredient.

Before you supplement

  • Do you need it?
  • Could food provide it?
  • Do you take medications?
  • Do you have kidney or liver disease?
  • Are you pregnant?
  • Could the dose be excessive?
  • Has the product been independently tested?

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers, without the sales pitch.

Do I need supplements if I eat a healthy diet?

Not necessarily. A varied diet covers many people’s needs. Some life stages, diets and health situations may call for a supplement, which is a question worth raising with a healthcare professional.

Are natural supplements always safe?

No. “Natural” doesn’t mean risk-free. Supplements can cause adverse effects, be taken at excessive doses and interact with medications or health conditions.

How do I know if a supplement works?

Look at what the research actually shows for that ingredient, at the dose used, in people like you. Be cautious with miracle claims, proprietary blends and testimonials.

Can I take several supplements together?

Sometimes, but combinations can overlap, duplicate nutrients or interact. Review your full list with a pharmacist or healthcare professional.

Can supplements replace my medication?

No. Don’t stop or change prescribed medication on the basis of a website. Talk with your prescriber first.
