Who Can I Trust When Choosing My Food Supplements?
When it comes to dietary supplements, everyone has an opinion... but not everything is equal.
👉 A few tips to know Who to Trust :
- On the internet and Instagram : always check the Transparency (clear composition, sources cited, labels...).
- With a pharmacist : it is a good option if he has followed a Independent and Global Training, and not only that of a laboratory.
- With startups : it depends on the brands! The best thing is to check Product by product If the dosages and recommendations are in line with what Laura shares.
⚠️ Laura regularly sees patients with Duplicate complements, sometimes even prescribed by midwives. Hence the importance of Check by yourself.
That's exactly why we created “The myth of capsules” : giving back knowledge and power to make informed choices.
💡 Key figures
According to the newspaper Obstetric & Gynecology Resulting from a study concluded in 2020, nearly 2 out of 3 pregnant women (64.4%) Are taking a prenatal multivitamin-mineral supplement. These products often cover the needs for folate, iron and B vitamins, but they can also lead to exceeding certain intakes if you are not careful.

🎯 Actions concrètes
- Inform me by myself : knowledge is power:
- When I see a content or a product, I start by checking the transparency: detailed composition, dosages, role of the ingredients, limits clearly indicated.
- Always Challenge the brand or the professional Who offers me a supplement and check the dosages and interactions by myself (especially in the case of multiple supplements);
- JI never consider a supplement to be “trivial”: I keep in mind that it can interact with other treatments, especially in ART or perinatal care.
- Listen to the various recommendations found in The Capsule Myth, to understand the interactions, dosages and standards of the main supplements
- I prefer a health professional trained in micronutrition independently (doctor, pharmacist, dietitian, midwife...) to take stock of my supplements.
- I don't hesitate to ask: “Why this supplement? Why this dosage? What are the benefits? What are the risks?” , and I am maintaining my role as an actor in my health.
