Prioritise safety information
Check shellfish and other allergen statements, medicine interactions, pregnancy or breastfeeding advice and any condition-specific warnings.
Know when a supplement is not the answer
New, severe or persistent pain, swelling, injury, fever, weakness or reduced movement should be assessed by a qualified health professional.
