Social media is full of supplement ads telling you exactly what you’re missing. But always pay attention to your sources of info when it comes to your health!
We love educating on supplements just as much as the next wellness account, but here’s what often gets left out.
Take B12, a favorite for energy support. It’s often present in a lot of supplements, food, and energy drinks you may consume daily, and unlike some nutrients, your body can hold onto extra B12 rather than flushing it out. Unknowingly stacking unnecessary nutrients can lead to buildup over time.
Reviewing the dietary info on your supplements, being open with your provider about new additions, and getting lab testing can show what your body actually does or doesn’t need, so you’re not guessing based on what an ad told you.
Always talk to your provider before adding anything new. Your body isn’t generic, and your supplement routine shouldn’t be either. For more insight into your nutrient and metabolic levels, give us a call and talk to a clinician about our labs.
