‼️ Beware of adulterated supplements!

The FDA found hundreds of unapproved pharmaceutical ingredients, such as Sildenafil (active ingredient in Viagra) , Sibutramine (banned weight-loss compound), and Steroid-like ingredients during the past decade. You can check if your supplements, drugs, foods, cosmetics, beverages, pet foods, medical devices, or tobacco products on FDA’s page here to see whether it has been recalled or subject to safety alerts. Read more about the adulterated supplements on The Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA)

❗️ Even with uncontaminated vitamins and minerals,  labels on the unregulated products don’t always contain the ingredients and amounts (less or more) they claim and may be made with forms that are hard to digest.  Without knowing what you are actually getting or able to absorb from these products, you may be surprised to find you are deficient in certain nutrients you have been taking via popular supplement brands for months! If you are interested in taking a micronutrient or genetic test, please schedule a Discovery session to learn more.
