7 Tips for Choosing the Highest Quality Supplements

This video is about how to choose the highest quality dietary supplements.

Shopping for quality supplements can be a challenge for even the most experienced neurohacker.

Dietary supplements are not 'approved' by the US FDA. Their jurisdiction is primarily pharmaceuticals. The supplement industry is 'self-policing'. And the FDA only gets involved when someone reports a problem.

So it is buyer beware. And it's up to you to choose the best supplements for your health. While avoiding counterfeit or low quality supplements.

In this video I'll walk you through how to choose a brand and which well-known brands to avoid. Including avoiding drug store, department store, and supermarket brands of supplements.

You'll learn where the best raw materials come from to make supplements. How to read the bottle label and what identifies a quality supplement.

I'll explain how and why you should get a Certificate of Analysis for a supplement to make sure that what's in the capsule or tablet is pure and not toxic.

We'll cover the main third-party testing companies and what they do to ensure quality supplements.

You'll discover that there is no such thing as a "therapeutic dose" for any supplement. And how we as consumers determine how much of each supplement we should use to experience its benefits.

You'll learn what to watch out for when reading Supplement Facts labels. And which "other ingredients" to avoid.

We'll touch on bioavailability and whether an Whole Herb supplement is sometimes better than an extract.

And near the end of this video I'll share a Nootropic Supplement Evaluation Checklist that you can use to refer to when buying your next supplement.

Hey Doctor 👋
I have many of your videos and I love them!
I have a suggestion for a next video.
Can you please talk about Hemp oil or rather CBD oil?
Kind regards from Denmark 🇩🇰

Hi I've been taking nootropics since the start of September and I think I've built up a tolerance . How long should I stop taking them to feel the benefits again?

[lubarrantes]

I’ve been taking Focus Factor since 2018 . It’s helped tremendously for depression I’ve been dealing with . Do you know anything about it ?

[hesneyk]

David, do you have an opinion about balance of nature products? I'd love to know your thoughts about it. Thanks for all that you do.

[dougb]

you said to check the ratings on swanson, but you also said don't trust private label. Do you trust swanson brands?

[judelintao]

Hi sir, what is the best bacopa brand the one which is friendly to the stomach and does not cause headaches. Your reply is much appreciated sir. Thank you.

[bibibobi]

Did you talked about citric acid ? Because that's i think in every supplement, a real problem if that's the one you refer to in the video.
Second thing is what about malic acid ? What is that?

David in my country CBD Oil is marketed as Cbd Hemp Oil with 15% of CBD, in general, but I am afraid of being scammed and that they will sell me Hemp oil instead of Cbd Oil, you think 15% CBD is enough in a 30 ml bottle ?, and if so, please tell me how many drops should I use for depression and how many to sleep ?, and if I should consume it on an empty stomach
