  1. THINGS NEED TO KNOW BEFORE TAKING DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS

  2. What Are Dietary Supplements? • Dietary supplements include such ingredients as vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, and enzymes. Dietary supplements are marketed in forms such as tablets, capsules, softgels, gelcaps, powders, and liquids.

  3. What Are The Benefits Of Dietary Supplements? • Some supplements can help assure that you get enough of the vital substances the body needs to function; others may help reduce the risk of disease. But supplements should not replace complete meals which are necessary for a healthful diet – so, be sure you eat a variety of foods as well. • Unlike drugs, supplements are not permitted to be marketed for the purpose of treating, diagnosing, preventing, or curing diseases. That means supplements should not make disease claims, such as “lowers high cholesterol” or “treats heart disease.” Claims like these cannot be legitimately made for dietary supplements.

  4. Risks Assosciated With Supplements • Combining supplements • Using supplements with medicines (whether prescription or over-the-counter) • Substituting supplements for prescription medicines • Taking too much of some supplements, such as vitamin A, vitamin D, or ironSome supplements can also have unwanted effects before, during, and after surgery. So, be sure to inform your healthcare provider, including your pharmacist about any supplements you are taking.

  5. Things To Keep In Mind Before Taking Supplements • Consult your healthcare provider before taking dietary supplements. • Get your healthcare provider’s approval before taking dietary supplements in place of, or in combination with, prescribed medicines. • If you are scheduled to have any type of surgical procedure, talk with your healthcare provider about any supplements you take.  • Keep in mind the term “natural” doesn’t always mean safe. A dietary supplement’s safety depends on many things, such as its chemical makeup, how it works in the body, how it is prepared, and the amount you take.  • Before taking any dietary supplement, use the information sources listed in this brochure and talk to your healthcare providers to answer these questions: • What are its potential benefits for me? • Does it have any safety risks? • What is the proper dose to take? • How, when, and for how long should I take it? 

  6. Conclusion • Dietary Supplements can be beneficial to your health — but taking supplements can also involve health risks. So you should take dietary supplements, but need to keep some things in mind while taking it. If you are interested in buying dietary supplements, then you can buy it from Aster Pharmacy, as it has a whole variety of safe dietary supplements at the best prices.
