Is LabelChecked medical advice?
No. LabelChecked is an independent supplement educator, not a medical provider. Our lessons, reviews and roundups describe labels, stated doses, published research, sellers, refund terms and prices. They do not replace advice from your doctor, pharmacist or other health professional.
Talk to a doctor or pharmacist first
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you start any supplement. This matters most if you are pregnant or nursing, take any medication or are managing a health condition. Bring the label with you. Your doctor or pharmacist can check the ingredients and doses against your own health history.
What the FDA does and does not review
The FDA does not approve dietary supplements before they are sold. Brands are responsible for the safety of their products and for the claims on their labels. Statements about what a supplement does in the body have not been evaluated by the FDA. Dietary supplements are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
What a LabelChecked review can tell you
A LabelChecked review tells you what the label lists, what the sales page claims and how the stated doses compare with published research. A review cannot tell you how a product will affect you. LabelChecked does not run lab tests, so we cannot confirm that a product contains what its label states.
If you have a problem with a supplement
If you have a reaction to a supplement, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. You can also report a problem with a dietary supplement to the FDA.
