How to choose the right supplement

• Start from your need: Be clear about your goal first. The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) advises checking with your doctor or pharmacist before using supplements, especially if you have a health condition, take medication, or are pregnant or nursing.
• Read the label: Check the active ingredient and amount per serving, the number of servings and any added ingredients.
• Watch the claims: The Saudi Food and Drug Authority reminds consumers that supplements are not medicines and do not treat disease. Promises of fast results or a "cure" are a warning sign.
• Testing: For athletes, Informed Sport or NSF Certified for Sport means the product was tested by an independent body.
• Sports supplements: According to the NIH fact sheet on exercise and athletic performance, creatine and caffeine have some of the strongest evidence, while many other products have limited evidence.
