Start with the basics
Foundational habits — nutrition, movement, sleep, hydration — outperform any product. See healthy weight habits and how dietary supplements work.
What to look for on a label
- Specific ingredient doses (not just a proprietary blend total).
- Third-party testing or quality certifications.
- A clear refund and contact policy.
- Realistic claims — no "guaranteed" outcomes.
What to ignore
- Aggressive countdown timers and "last chance" copy.
- Reviews that all sound identical.
- Vague before/after stories with no methodology.
