1. No one knows everything & opinions differ widely (even "experts" get it wrong). So, do some basic research & compare doctrines/works before acting.
2. Reactions (to a dose or supplement) & interactions (between several different supplements) are complex & may vary widely between people & their circumstances.
3. All supplements do more than the probably one thing you are taking it/them for (most do many things) & not all of these are necessarily what you want. So try to find out if any unwelcome secondary actions are likely before taking supplement. Always listen to your body.
4. Finally, all these are basically natural (& in most cases very old) therapies - So take your chosen one(s) with a positive outlook & "feel" the unique character of each working its magic on your life (self-hypnosis is a potent force - use it.)
