Nutritional Products: What to Check Before You Buy
Vitamins, minerals and other nutritional products can look similar while containing different ingredients, amounts and dosage forms. A useful product comparison begins with the label rather than with broad health claims.
Questions worth checking
- What are the active ingredients and amounts per serving?
- Is the product a tablet, capsule, liquid, chewable or another form?
- Does it duplicate an ingredient already present in another supplement or medicine?
- Could an ingredient interact with a prescription, OTC medicine or health condition?
- What package size and manufacturer are currently available?
Dietary supplements should not be treated as FDA-approved drugs for diagnosing, treating, curing or preventing disease. Product marketing claims should be separated from the actual Supplement Facts label and from advice provided by a qualified health professional.
