EditSteps

1. 
   1
   Avoid business opportunity sites that claim unrealistic income possibilities.5,000 dollars in 5 days is most unlikely.
2. 
   2
   Do your research. The first thing to do is to learn to View an Advertisement Effectively.
3. 
   3
   Look for logos on the site indicating endorsements from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Better Business Bureau or Truste.org.
4. 
   4
   Check that the site has contact information from independent sites. Then check on those sites and their testimonies. Check email addresses, so you can contact them. Check if there is a physical address. This adds credibility. If you are interested in a particular business, contact them stating your interest and await a response.
5. 
   5
   Research any company you're interested in. At the very least, it should have a listed telephone number and be available during normal business hours.
6. 
   6
   Search for work-at-home jobs using legitimate sources. Don't search online for "work at home". What you're likely to find are scams. Instead try well-established job boards such as Net-Temps.com or authoritative books like "The Work-At-Home Sourcebook."
7. 
   7
   Educate yourself. What kinds of jobs and industries really use home workers? With a little bit of research, you will quickly learn, for example, that working at home is common in the medical transcription industry, but there's no legitimate job known as "envelope stuffing."
8. 
   8
   Avoid "start up fees": Real work at home jobs are like any other jobs, except they are performed in home offices. You don't have to pay a fee to work at Starbucks or Hewlett Packard. Likewise, legitimate work-at-home job offers do not require registration fees or payment for "instructions". In other words, if you have to pay them anything in order to go to work for them, they're probably not legitimate.
9. 
   9
   Don't expect a money-back guarantee to protect you. Some people will try to sell you a get-rich-quick scheme, but 99% of them are scams. Talk is cheap. Scammers will promise you your money back if you're not satisfied, but they won't deliver on their promises.
10. 
    10
    Understand that working at home does not require a "program" or a "system" that you have to pay to learn. As with any other employment, either you already have the required job skills or you don't. If you need skills to get a job, enroll at the nearest college, vocational school, or technical school.
11. 
    11
    Use your head. If it were really possible to earn $1,000 a week assembling products at home, wouldn't everybody be doing it? The old adage still holds true: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
12. 
    12
    Look up Domain name on Domain Tools. There you can check registration details.
13. 
    13
    Look for guarantees on the site. Be sure to read the guarantee carefully.
14. 
    14
    Type in the company name in Google. If people have been scammed, they are very quick to broadcast that fact online.
15. 
    15
    Scrutinize carefully any testimonials. Are the photographs too professional? Are the reviews too good to be true? Chances are they may be false.
16. 
    16
    Avoid pyramid schemes and lotteries. Learn about such things online.
17. 
    17
    Tell your family and friends about any opportunities you're considering and ask what they think.
18. 
    18
    Take your time before signing up for anything. There are some legitimate online home-business opportunities. Keep your eyes open. You will soon be able to distinguish between the scams and the legitimate businesses.

There are many different supplements available that can help support your overall health and be used to address specific health concerns. Nutritional supplements include vitamins, minerals, and other ingredients, including herbs, that come in many different forms. There are many different factors that you should consider while deciding which supplement you should take, so it's important to first talk with your doctor or a pharmacist before you begin taking a supplement.

Method1

EditDetermining If You Need a Supplement

1. 
   1
   Ask your doctor about supplement interactions. In general, multivitamins and minerals supplements can benefit most people; however, there are some conditions that can make it dangerous for you to take supplements. These conditions include kidney or liver disease, which may interfere with the processing of these vitamins and minerals.^[1][2] Talk to your doctor about what supplements are good for you.

   • Some supplements interact with medications, so ask your doctor or pharmacist about possible interactions with any medications you already take, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs. For example, vitamin K can reduce the effectiveness of blood thinners.^[3]
2. 
   2
   Recognize supplement side effects. There are some supplements that might contribute to certain health problems. This means that taking certain supplements may cause you to develop some health issues. Your doctor will be able to tell you if you are at risk for some of these side effects, based on your personal history.

   • For example, beta carotene has been shown raise the risk of lung cancer in smokers.^[4] Taking vitamin E may also cause an increased risk of prostate cancer.^[5]
3. 
   3
   Get your blood tested. When you talk to your doctor, have your blood tested. This will help you determine any deficiencies you may have. From this, you and your doctor may decide if supplements are right for you. Your doctor may also suggest other alternatives to fix your deficiencies, such as a balanced diet or a change in diet to help replace those nutrients.

   • You will have to ask for this blood test, and it is usually not covered by your insurance.
   • Your doctor may suggest certain supplements for your deficiencies.^[6]
   • For example, your doctor may tell you to take vitamin D supplements every day if you have a vitamin D deficiency.
4. 
   4
   Help prevent genetic conditions. You should also talk to your doctor about your medical history. There are certain supplements that can help you fight against genetic dispositions towards specific diseases. Your doctor will be able to help you decide.^[7]

   • For example, if you have a family history of cancer, your doctor might suggest supplements that provide antioxidant or probiotic support, which have been shown to help prevent cancer.
5. 
   5
   Use dietary supplements to help dietary deficiencies. There are certain people that may need to take supplements based on deficiencies in their food consumption or those with special dietary needs. For example, vegans and vegetarians may miss out on some nutrients because of the foods that they do not eat. If you are a vegan or vegetarian, supplements can be used to help fill these gaps in your diet. You may need more vitamin B12, calcium, omega 3s, protein, and iron.^[8]

   • Pregnant women also have special dietary needs. Women who may become pregnant should get folic acid supplement, and women who are pregnant should take an iron supplement.
   • Those who have other dietary restrictions, such as lactose intolerance, will likely also need supplementation.
   • If you do not eat the recommended two to three servings of fish a week, you should consider adding a fish oil supplement to provide essential omega 3 fatty acids.^[9]
   • Adults over 65, should take a Vitamin D supplement to help keep their bones healthy and reduce the risk of falls.

   Be aware that supplements aren’t miracle cures. Dietary supplements are meant to help improve your health and well being. Even when a supplement claims that it will help something, it doesn’t meant it will cure that issue. Supplements do not have to back their claims with testing (they are outside the jurisdiction of the FDA), so always check with your doctor if you are unsure if a supplement will help.

   • Instead of expecting the supplements to cure your ailments, use them to help improve your health. That is what they are meant to do.^[10]
7. 
   7
   Talk to your pharmacist. If you are taking some medication, you may want to ask you pharmacist if there are any interactions with your current medications. Pharmacists often have the most up to date information about drug and supplement interactions.

   • You can also take your supplements to your pharmacist so they can see exactly what ingredients they have in them that might cause an interaction.

EditGetting the Right Forms of Supplements

1. 
   1
   Buy natural supplements. When at all possible, you should buy the natural or non-synthetic versions of supplements. There are some synthetic version of supplements, but, unless your doctor specifically tells you otherwise, buy the natural versions. This is because the natural versions are closer to what your body expects from the supplements.

   • For example, there are some vitamins derived from whole foods, which may have greater benefit for you.
   • These can often be a little more expensive, which may make these harder for you to buy.^[11]
2. 
   2
   Consider the different forms of the same supplement. There are some supplements that may take different forms. While they are all the same mineral or supplement, they have different concentrations and some will be absorbed better than others. This means that you will have to take more of one than the other.

   • For example, magnesium comes as magnesium citrate and magnesium oxide. Magnesium citrate is more expensive, but it also has better absorption. This means you have to take fewer doses. On the other hand, magnesium oxide is less expensive, but you have to take more of it to get the same effect.
3. 
   3
   Determine how much of the supplement you are getting. Nutrition labels can be hard to understand, especially because of the small print. On the supplement label, you can determine how much of the supplement you are getting. Look for labels that tell you if the supplement is elemental or part of a composite pill. When the label says elemental, this is the exact amount of the supplement you are getting.^[12]

   • For example, if the label reads "10 mg of elemental Magnesium," this means you are getting 10 mg of the magnesium. If it reads "10mg of Magnesium citrate," you will actually be getting less than that because the citrate in the dose takes away from the amount of magnesium.
4. 
   4
   Pick the right form. Supplements are produced as powders, tablets, capsules, or liquids. There are some that are better absorbed as a specific form. Ask your doctor which form is best for the supplements you are taking. There are no right or wrong forms of the supplements, so it will depend on your situation. ^[13]

   • For example, B vitamins are often better absorbed in liquid form; however, the most common forms of B vitamins are tablets and capsules.
   • You may also make your decision based on what is easiest for you to swallow. If you have a hard time swallowing pills, you may want to take the liquid form.
5. 
   5
   Buy from reputable manufacturers. Your should make sure you buy your supplements from reputable manufacturers. One good way to know a reputable supplement is if they offer them up for testing. Reputable manufacturers also buy and use the best raw materials and invest in having their products tested for quality and purity. Organic supplements are typically high quality as well.^[14]

   • Look on the label for seals of approval from reliable labs, such as Consumer Labs, Natural Products Association (NPA), LabDoor, and the United States Pharmacopeia (USP).
   • Just because they haven’t been tested, it doesn’t mean that the supplements are bad. You can always ask your doctor if you are unsure of certain manufacturers.
   • Be wary of online ads for miracle minerals or supplements. These types of supplements are likely not regulated by the FDA, which means their ingredients are not regulated. As mentioned, supplements do not cure anything, so these claims are unfounded.
   • You can also check out the manufacturer’s websites and call them to find out about their quality controls. The better companies should have consumer information freely available.^[15]

Method3

EditDetermining How to Take Supplements

1. 
   1
   Take the right doses. The specific doses you need to take will vary depending on which supplement you take. Always read the label to know exactly how much of each supplement you should take each day. Although supplements are good for you, you can actually overdose on them.^[16]

   • You can also ask your doctor how much of each to take if you are unsure.
2. 
   2
   Follow the recommended dietary allowances (RDA). Just like medications, supplements have recommended dietary allowances (RDA). The RDA of supplements will vary based on your age, gender, and particular situation. These will be different based on each supplement as well.

   • Know that many daily values (DV) will exceed the RDA. Your RDA is the minimum required for you to take each day to get the benefits of the supplement.
3. 
   3
   Recognize any side effects. Some supplements can cause toxicity if you take too many of them. Water-soluble vitamins, such as the B vitamins, generally do not cause problems because they are flushed out when you urinate. There are others that can cause problems. These include:

   • Iron, which can cause constipation and rarely, more serious conditions such as hemochromatosis
