Feeling overwhelmed by supplements? Learn how to spot high quality products, avoid red flags, and shop confidently. Discover trusted resources and browse physician backed, third-party tested supplements through FullScript.
Walking down the supplement aisle can feel like stepping into a maze bright labels, bold claims, and an endless array of bottles promising everything from boundless energy to flawless health. It’s no wonder so many of us feel overwhelmed or unsure about what to buy. In the latest episode of Rooted Remedy Navigating the Supplement Aisle, Kelly and Alicia dive deep into the truth about supplements, helping you shop smarter and feel confident in your choices.
Why the U.S. Supplement Industry Is Tricky
One of the biggest surprises for many is how lightly regulated the supplement industry is here in the U.S. Unlike medications, supplements don’t go through rigorous FDA approval before hitting the shelves. Kelly and Alicia explain the history behind this and what it means for everyday consumers: essentially, it’s on us to be diligent and informed.
The Risk of Poor-Quality Supplements
Not all supplements are created equal. Low quality products can be ineffective or worse, harmful. Marketing can make it hard to tell the difference, with flashy packaging and bold promises masking products that don’t deliver. This episode breaks down how to separate hype from helpful, so you don’t waste money or compromise your health.
How to Spot High-Quality Supplements
Kelly and Alicia share key certifications and third-party testing to look for when evaluating supplements. These certifications act as a seal of trust, showing the product has been independently tested for quality and safety. They also highlight red flags to watch for, such as vague labeling, unrealistic claims, or unnecessary “proprietary blends” that hide ingredient amounts.

If you’re ready to shop wisely, the episode provides practical tools and resources to help you research supplements before buying. Whether you’re new to supplementation or looking to clean up your current routine, these tips empower you to make smarter, safer decisions.
