5 Questions to Ask Before Buying Any Supplement

Send us Fan Mail Before you spend money on another supplement, take a step back and evaluate what you’re actually buying. In this episode, I break down five essential questions that can help you look beyond bold claims, trendy ingredients, flashy packaging, and influencer marketing. You’ll learn how to evaluate a supplement based on its purpose, formula, ingredient doses, and overall value - not simply what appears on the front of the label. We cover: What is your goal? Why every supplement decision should begin with a clearly defined purpose—and why even a well-formulated product may be a poor choice if it doesn’t match what you’re trying to accomplish. Is every ingredient dosed to work? How to look beyond an ingredient’s name and consider whether the amount included is supported by relevant evidence for the product’s intended purpose. Does the formula match what it claims to do? How to determine whether the complete formula logically supports the benefits being advertised—or whether the marketing is making promises the formula can’t reasonably support. Does every ingredient have a job and purpose? Why longer ingredient lists aren’t automatically better, how unnecessary additions can make a formula look more impressive, and why every active ingredient should contribute to the product’s central goal. Are you paying for quality or marketing? The ultimate test: If the label were completely blank, would the formula, quality, serving size, and price still convince you to buy the product? By the end of the episode, you’ll have a practical five-question checklist you can use whenever you shop for supplements online or in-store. The goal isn’t to tell you which product to buy - it’s to help you slow down, examine the facts, and make a more informed decision about what deserves a place in your routine. **This episode is intended for general educational purposes and is not medical advice.
