What you need to know when buying dietary supplements

💚The market is filled with different types of dietary supplements. In any pharmacy, you will see dozens of drugs from different manufacturers ranging from different prices, but what are the rules for choosing quality dietary supplements for yourself? Here are some pointers you should keep in mind:

🔸️Rule #1 Dietary supplements are sold in shops and pharmacies without a prescription however upon buying them, one must consult their doctor for any adverse reactions that may occur. For example, some supplements have a choleretic effect (e.g. milk thistle extract), which cause adverse effects with people who have gallstones. For this reason, dietary supplements should not be used as a form of self-medication.

🔸️Rule #2 The product must meet GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) regulations - this guarantees that the product is safe and assures quality standards are met.

🔸️Rule #3 Always buy dietary supplements from major manufacturers with a good reputation and those with a registered company.

🔸️Rule #4 Give preference to dietary supplements made up of natural components rather than synthetic ones that contain preservatives.

🔸️Rule #5 Do not buy any dietary supplement without researching about it first.
