A FREE SD SHOPPING COMPANION
Before you buy: the label checklist.
Keep this on your phone or print a copy. It helps you ask useful questions; it does not decide whether a supplement is right for you.
Match the bottle
Confirm the exact product, formula, strength, and bottle count.
Start with serving size
How many capsules, gummies, drops, or scoops make one labeled serving?
Read the useful amount
Check the active ingredient amount, units, and—where relevant—elemental mineral content.
Look for overlap
Check other supplements and medicines for duplicate ingredients.
Read the rest of the label
Check other ingredients, allergens, warnings, and storage instructions.
Check quality claims
Verify the exact product and the scope of any independent certification.
Compare the actual cost
Separate one-time and subscription prices; include delivery and taxes when known.
Bring questions to your clinician
Ask about need, interactions, and the right amount for your situation.
Supplements can interact with medicines and may not be appropriate for everyone. Discuss new supplements with your own healthcare professional, especially during pregnancy, before surgery, or with a medical condition.
