Botanicals and mushrooms

How to compare

Four checks before choosing a supplement.

Check the form. The same ingredient can come in different forms, and labels should make that clear.
Check the amount. Look at the daily serving, not just the amount per capsule.
Check overlap. Multivitamins, bundles and single-ingredient products can contain the same nutrients.
Check suitability. Extra care matters if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or managing a health condition.
