Health Supplements: What You Need to Know Before You Buy

Thinking about adding a supplement to your routine? You’re not alone. Millions of Indians try vitamins, herbs, or protein powders every year. The trick is to pick what actually helps and avoid what could harm you. Below we break down the basics and point you to our most useful articles.

How to Spot a Safe and Effective Supplement

First, check the label. A reputable brand will list every ingredient, the exact dose, and any allergens. Look for third‑party testing symbols like USP or ISO; they show the product has been checked for purity. If the claim sounds too good – “cures everything overnight” – it probably isn’t legit.

Second, match the supplement to your goal. Want more energy? A B‑complex or iron might help if you’re deficient. Seeking joint relief? Glucosamine, turmeric, or Boswellia have some evidence. For weight loss, remember no pill beats a balanced diet and exercise; most “fat‑burner” blends carry stimulants you may not need.
