Don\u2019t just take other people\u2019s word for it. Sites such as <a href=\"https:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">clinicaltrials.gov<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/nccih.nih.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">nccih.nih.gov<\/a> have performed extensive research on tons of supplements and have released their data to the public.<\/li>\n<li>Judge the item by its cover. Supplements should be transparent about their ingredients and where they are sourced.  Look for key terms like \u201cnon-GMO\u201d and \u201cno artificial colors and sweeteners.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Question yourself. Why are you choosing to take a supplement?  Have you gotten your levels checked?  Is the supplement you want to take actually necessary?<\/li>\n<li>Check certifications and know what they mean.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Supplements can be helpful in ensuring that you are getting all of your vitamins and minerals in.
