Supplements That Actually Work (and the Ones to Avoid): My Thoughts on the Consumer Reports Article

from Joe Cannon Health · host Joe Cannon

Nearly 60% of Americans take dietary supplements, but most people don’t know which ones are backed by real evidence and which may be ineffective or dangerous. In thisepisode, I break down Consumer Reports’ article on supplements worth considering and supplements to avoid, including magnesium, vitamin D,probiotics, protein powders, kratom, green tea extract, and more. I’ll discuss supplement safety, contamination risks, dosing concerns, drug interactions, and why “natural” does not always mean safe. I summarize the Consumer Reportsarticle titled “The Supplements That Could Actually Be Worth Trying” and give my opinions.  Read My Rhabdo Book Purchase My Rhabdo Book (my website)Order on Amazon (affiliate link) Consultations https://supplementclarity.com/private-consultations/ Connect With MeSupplementClarity.com YouTubeTiktok About Me For over 30 years, I’ve been sorting nutrition facts from fiction and helping people understand dietary supplements, using clinical research as my litmus test.
