Which supplement brand should I buy?

We can’t tell you which specific brand to choose because we don’t test products, and we maintain strict neutrality. We focus on analyzing research, not selling or promoting supplements.

However, we can help you make an informed choice with a few key steps:

1. Check the packaging: Start by reviewing the active ingredients and the evidence behind them. Pay attention to the form of each ingredient, as some forms are absorbed better than others. Also, scan the list of other ingredients to avoid potential allergens or harmful additives. Be cautious of vague seals with claims like “highest quality” or “pure ingredients” that lack clear backing.

2. Visit the manufacturer’s website: Look for a GMP seal (Good Manufacturing Practices) and check if the company is transparent about its manufacturing protocols and quality control. Larger companies tend to undergo more inspections and testing, making them slightly more reliable in terms of safety and consistency.

3. Check other sources: See if the manufacturer has received any FDA warning letters. Also, check if the product has been tested by trusted third-party organizations like ConsumerLab or Labdoor. Just remember, certifications don’t guarantee a product’s effectiveness, only its quality.

Finally, treat supplements with the same caution you would medications. Though they can be helpful, they can also cause harm if used improperly. Being informed and checking for safety measures can prevent unnecessary risks and help you make the best choices for your health. Stay safe!
