The Safe Way to Use Supplements
Do not throw away your vitamins in panic, and do not stop prescribed medication because of something you read online. Instead, take a smarter approach.
Bring all supplements to your next medical appointment, including multivitamins, B-complex tablets, powders, energy drinks, and “brain health” products. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to check the doses of folic acid, B6, and B12.
You can also ask whether you need blood tests for:
vitamin B12
folate
complete blood count
kidney function
blood sugar or A1C
thyroid function
