FAQ — Supplements
Verified answers to frequently asked questions about Supplements: uses, dosages, safety and best practice.
01Can a supplement replace a meal?
No. A supplement provides isolated nutrients, never the full food matrix: fibre, texture, satiety and associated compounds.
02How do I avoid overdosing?
Add up the intake from all your products and compare it with reference intakes. Vitamins A, D, E, K and iron accumulate in the body.
03Courses or continuous use?
It depends on the nutrient: vitamin D often follows the season, while a confirmed iron deficiency is corrected over a period set by a blood test.
04How do I read a label?
Look at the dose per serving, the chemical form, the percentage of reference intake and the excipient list, not just the packaging claim.
