Smart Supplement Strategy

If you do supplement, work from a few simple rules:

  • Test first — get blood work so you treat a real deficiency, not a guess
  • Pick verified brands — look for NSF, USP, or Informed Sport seals
  • Demand evidence — without several human trials, a supplement is a bet, not a treatment
  • Food first — no capsule copies the full nutrient mix of real meals

Most healthy adults on a varied diet need none of this.
