7 Supplements A Hormone Expert Would Never Recommend (Here's Why)

So, you're staring at your supplement shelf — that little lineup of good intentions — thinking: "Is any of this even doing anything?" You've got fish oil that smells a little... suspicious. A multivitamin that could double as a paperweight. Some magnesium that sends you running to the bathroom. And let's not forget the $12 herbs you grabbed at checkout because an influencer said "they work." Sound familiar? Today, I'm spilling the tea on 7 supplements I do not love, and why they might be doing way less for your hormones than you think. I'm talking about fish oil that smells like a rotting dockside (yep, that's rancidity), vitamin E with llamas on the label, which is your red flag it's synthetic, high-dose biotin that quietly interferes with your lab results, and herbal formulas that are basically just dried leaves and a prayer.
