General Considerations in Taking Dietary Supplements
- Pregnant or nursing women should always consult their physicians or healthcare professionals before taking any medications or dietary supplements.
- Consult a practitioner before taking any dietary supplements if you are elderly or take multiple prescription medications.
- Discontinue a product if symptoms of allergy develop.
- Take supplements with food to avoid digestive upset.
- Do not swallow prescription medications and herbs at the same time. Allow at least 2 hours between them. Herbs are water-soluble plant fibers which may inhibit the absorption of medication.
- Beware of faddish herbal advertisements, instant weight loss claims and guarantees of restored health.
- Never stop taking a prescription medication suddenly or without the monitoring of a physician.
- Do not take megadoses of vitamins, minerals or herbs without proper supervision.
