A Practical Checklist for Evaluating Supplements

A calm, evidence-informed way to assess supplement claims, labels, and tradeoffs—before you buy.

This one-page checklist is designed to help you slow down and ask better questions when evaluating supplements for yourself or your family. It reflects the same evidence-first, quality-focused framework used throughout Evidence First Wellness—without requiring you to read dozens of articles first.

This checklist helps you:

• interpret common supplement claims without relying on marketing language

• assess formulation quality, dose, and safety together

• decide whether a supplement is even worth considering

What’s included:

• a one-page printable checklist (PDF)

• clear evaluation questions organized by category

• space for notes or comparisons

• guidance that applies across supplement types (multivitamins, probiotics, minerals, etc.)

Designed to be revisited—not used once and forgotten.

This checklist is for you if you:

• feel overwhelmed by supplement options or claims

• want to make thoughtful, conservative decisions

• value evidence and safety over trends

• are choosing supplements for yourself or your family

It may not be for you if you’re looking for:

• quick product rankings

• aggressive optimization protocols

• “best supplement” lists without context

About the approach
