Supplement safety basics
NCCIH reminds people that “natural” does not always mean safe, that supplements can interact with medicines, and that you should tell your health care providers about everything you take (NCCIH). Follow the label, buy from the official seller, and stop if something feels wrong. MedlinePlus has a plain-language overview of supplements too (MedlinePlus). See side effects.
