Knowledge is Power

Knowledge is Power.  Please read labels and carefully research ingredients, dosages and manufacturing processes.

Speak with your doctor when considering any supplements (be they herbal or traditional).  If your doctor is unfamiliar with supplements, try to locate a functional medicine or integrative physician since they are well versed in such matters.

By now you know that not all supplements are created equally.  You may have learned it from the countless news reports of supplements being pulled from store shelves, or you may have ready my article, “Choosing the Right Supplement for PCOS: Not All Supplements Are Created Equal.”

Whereas supplements are not regulated by the FDA, it is buyer bewarewhenever you select one. I have always encouraged women to be certain that their supplements are quality certified by a third party, know the ingredients and understand the dosage.

Recently, I came across a product called PregPrep that is being heavily marketed and claiming to “promote conception.” Curious, I ordered a box to check it out.  What I found was concerning, and it became clear that I had better issue a second warning about intentionally vague labels and questionable doses and ingredients.
