Side effect checklist

  • Active ingredients: confirm Iodine and the amount per serving rather than relying on the front label.
  • Serving context: compare Capsule and 1 capsule with how often the label says to use it.
  • Allergens and inactive ingredients: check flavors, sweeteners, capsules, gelatin, oils, dairy, soy, gluten, fish, or shellfish when they matter to you.
  • Overlap: count similar ingredients from multivitamins, powders, blends, gummies, drinks, and topical products before adding another product.
  • Check dose, form, allergens, medication cautions, health conditions, pregnancy or breastfeeding context, and total intake from overlapping supplements.
  • Use the current product label first because formulas, serving sizes, and warnings can change.
