Why Does Supplement Quality Matter?
Supplements can vary considerably from one product to another.
Two bottles may appear similar while containing different forms of an ingredient, different amounts per serving or completely different combinations of ingredients.
When evaluating a supplement, it can be helpful to consider:
• The manufacturer
• Active ingredients
• Amount of each ingredient
• Form of the ingredient
• Other ingredients in the product
• Manufacturing and quality standards
• Recommended serving size
• Potential medication interactions
• Ingredients you may already be getting from another supplement
More is not necessarily better. The goal should be to choose a product that makes sense for your individual needs.
Pharmacist Help When You Need It
One of the benefits of shopping through a local pharmacy is having someone to ask when you aren’t sure what to choose.
Our pharmacist can help review:
• Prescription and over the counter medications
• Potential supplement and medication interactions
• Supplements you already take
• Different strengths and formulations
• Duplicate ingredients between products
• Recommendations from your healthcare provider
• Relevant lab results you have already discussed with your healthcare provider
We can also help compare products if you are deciding between several different options.
Patients are always welcome to [contact Bald Mountain Pharmacy] with questions before ordering.
Prenatal, Postnatal & Preconception Supplements
Fullscript also gives our patients access to a large selection of prenatal, postnatal and preconception supplements.
Depending on the formulation, these products may contain nutrients such as:
• Folate or methylfolate
• DHA and omega 3 fatty acids
• Choline
• Iron
• Iodine
• Vitamin D
• B vitamins
• Other vitamins and minerals
There are also supplements designed for preconception and fertility support for both women and men.
Formulations can vary quite a bit, which is why it is worth comparing more than just the name on the front of the bottle.
If you have questions about the ingredients or are trying to compare products, our pharmacist can help you review the options.
