StayWellAware publishes general information about health and wellness products. It isn’t medical advice, and it can’t replace a conversation with a doctor, pharmacist or other clinician who knows your history and your medicines.
Please keep these points in mind
- Nothing on this site is meant to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
- Supplements can interact with prescription medicines. Vitamin K and warfarin is one well-known example, and there are many others. Check with your clinician or pharmacist before you start, stop or change a supplement, especially if you take regular medicines, are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a long-term condition such as kidney disease, or are buying for a child or an older adult.
- Doses mentioned in our articles describe what studies or labels used. They aren’t a recommendation for you personally.
- Our writer is not a doctor and doesn’t write as one. Our method is to tie every health claim to a published, checkable source, which you’ll find linked in each article.
- Research changes. We date our reviews and update them, but an article may not reflect the newest findings on the day you read it.
In an emergency
If you think you’re having a medical emergency, call 911 (in the US) or your local emergency number right away. For a possible poisoning or overdose in the US, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222.
