| Use Supplements Wisely Just because something is "natural" or "just a supplement" does not mean it's safe or that taking it is without risk. Educate yourself, consult your physician, and always inform your health care providers of supplements you are taking - just as you would inform them of prescription medications. Some supplements may interfere with prescription medications and/or anesthesia. Even supplements that are normally well tolerated may not be well tolerated by some individuals. It's a good idea to start only one new supplement at a time. It is also possible to take medications and supplements for a long period of time without difficulty, but then find that your new "illness" is actually being caused by a previously well tolerated drug or supplement.
