Keep in Mind

Do
not decide to take dietary supplements to treat a health condition that
you have diagnosed yourself without consulting a health care provider.

| * |
Do
not take supplements in place of, or in combination with, prescribed
medications without your health care provider’s guidance.

The
term “natural” does not always mean safe. A supplement’s safety depends
on many things, such as its chemical makeup, how it works in the body,
how it is prepared, and the dose used. Certain herbs (for example,
comfrey and kava) might harm the liver.
Talk with Your Health Care Provider
Let
your health care providers (including doctors, pharmacists, and
dietitians) know which dietary supplements you are taking so that you
can discuss what is best for your overall health. Your health care
provider can help you determine which supplements, if any, might be
appropriate for you.
Keep
a record of the supplements you take, just as you should be doing for
all of your medicines. Note the specific product name, the dose you
take, how often you take it, and the reason why you use each one. You
can also bring the products you use with you when you see your health
care provider. ODS has developed a free mobile app for consumers called My Dietary Supplements —an easy way to keep track of the vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other products you take.

Keep this information handy when you do decide to supplement your diet in any way. And most important of all PLEASE read the labels on any supplements you wish to take. Read the labels and research the ingredients in relation to you! Great how it worked for someone else but you make sure it doesn't work against you. I suggest sharing your list with various specialist as well especially if you have a pre-existing condition or require some kind of on-going long term care.
