Exercise caution with wellness supplements

The wellness industry increasingly promotes supplements as easy solutions for improving energy, focus, and overall well-being. However, many of these products are not backed by strong scientific evidence. This is worth noting because dietary supplements aren’t regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). That means when a supplement gains popularity on platforms like TikTok, it’s up to the company to provide accurate product information, which consumers should be mindful of when making health decisions.
