Tips for Choosing Supplements:

USP’s dietary supplement experts recommend that you:

  • Choose dietary supplements that provide approximately 100 percent of the Daily Value (DV) for recognized nutrients (however, most multi-ingredient supplements do not provide 100 percent of the DV for calcium and you might need a separate calcium supplement).

  • Check the list of ingredients carefully to make sure there are no substances to which you know you are allergic.

  • Check the supplement’s expiration date and make sure it is far enough in the future to allow you to use up the entire product.

  • Talk to your healthcare provider about which supplements may be best for you.

  • Be sure to tell your healthcare provider about any supplements you are taking, as some supplements might interfere with prescription or OTC medicines.

  • If the supplement bears a seal of approval or a guarantee, make sure you know who it’s from and look for information, such as a Web address or a toll-free number on how to get more details.
