Explanation

Before taking a supplement that makes health claims, check reliable information from several sources, such as health authorities and qualified medical professionals. This helps you evaluate whether the claims are supported by evidence and whether the supplement could have risks or interactions. Starting it right away, using it only around sick people, or guessing at a smaller dose does not establish that it is safe or effective. The best response is to research the information using several sources before taking the supplement.
