The WebSmartIdeas aims to promote and disseminate good creative ideas to improve society.

As a consumer, you need information you can trust to help make thoughtful decisions about eating a healthful diet and using vitamin and mineral supplements. Registered dietitians developed this series of fact sheets in conjunction with the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements to help you make these decisions.

The information is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice. It is important that you seek the advice of a physician about any medical condition or symptom. It is also important to seek the advice of a physician, registered dietitian, pharmacist, or other qualified medical practitioner about the appropriateness of taking dietary supplements and their potential interactions with medications.
