Frequently Asked Questions

Dietary supplements are products intended to add nutrients to your diet - including vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, and enzymes in forms like gummies, capsules, liquids, or powders. They support wellness but are not a substitute for a balanced diet or medical care.
How do I choose the right supplement?
Identify your goal, then read the Supplement Facts label for form, dosage, and active ingredients. Consider third-party testing, your diet, and any medications. A registered dietitian can help personalize choices.
Are gummy supplements OK for kids?
Yes, when specifically formulated for children with age-appropriate doses. Always follow the label and keep them out of reach.
What dose of supplements do kids need?
Children's needs differ from adults. Use kids-specific products and serving sizes; a pediatrician can guide individual needs.
Can kids take multiple supplements?
