Compare the label before the headline
Start with the full nutrient list and the amount per daily serving. Compare percentage NRV where it is shown, the number of tablets or capsules, the serving schedule and whether the format is practical enough to follow consistently.
This is a label-checking exercise, not a way to diagnose a deficiency or predict a health result.
Checks to make
- Read every nutrient amount per daily serving, not only the nutrients highlighted on the front.
- Check the serving schedule, tablet or capsule count and whether doses are split across the day.
- Review ingredients, allergens, excipients, vegan or vegetarian wording and cross-contamination notes.
- Read warnings, age restrictions, pregnancy or breastfeeding wording and medication cautions.
- Compare subscription, cancellation, delivery, returns and total-cost terms separately from the formulation.
- Check current NHS guidance and ask a pharmacist, GP or other qualified healthcare professional if you take medication, manage a condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are unsure.
Keep the decision diet-first
A supplement does not replace a varied, balanced diet. Do not assume that a longer ingredient list is automatically better, or that a product will address symptoms, tiredness or a suspected deficiency.
