Supplements can be helpful, but they’re not always risk-free. While many are safe when used correctly, dangers arise when:

• They're taken in high doses

• They're used to replace medical treatment

• They interact with medications

• They come from unregulated or low-quality sources

For example, too much vitamin A can be toxic, or certain herbs like St. John’s Wort can interfere with antidepressants or birth control.

That’s why it’s important to:

• Choose high-quality brands

• Follow the recommended dosage

• Talk to a healthcare provider, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, on medications, or have a health condition

In a clinic setting, like Valley Hormone & Wellness, supplements are chosen intentionally, backed by science, and tailored to individual needs to avoid risks and maximize benefits.
