Terms of Service.
The rules of the road.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using supplementsscout.net (the “Site”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

Not Medical Advice

Content on this Site is editorial and educational only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.

SupplementScout publishes reviews, comparisons, and guides about dietary supplements, vitamins, and nutrition products. We do our best to reference peer-reviewed research, but individual physiology, medication regimens, and health conditions vary enormously. What is safe and effective for one person may be harmful for another.

You should always consult a qualified healthcare professional (physician, registered dietitian, pharmacist, or equivalent) before starting, stopping, or changing any supplement, especially if you:

• Are pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive.
• Are under 18 years of age.
• Take any prescription or over-the-counter medication (many supplements interact with blood thinners, antidepressants, blood pressure medication, thyroid medication, and others).
• Have a diagnosed medical condition (including but not limited to liver, kidney, cardiovascular, endocrine, autoimmune, or psychiatric conditions).
• Are scheduled for surgery within two weeks.
• Have a history of allergies or adverse reactions to supplements, herbs, or food ingredients.

Never delay or disregard professional medical advice because of something you have read on this Site. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or emergency services immediately.

FDA Disclaimer

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Products discussed on this Site are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Dietary supplements are regulated by the FDA as food, not as drugs. The FDA does not approve supplements for safety or efficacy before they reach the market. References to studies, ingredients, or traditional uses on this Site are for educational purposes and do not constitute claims of medical benefit.

Product Formulations Change

Supplement brands reformulate frequently. Ingredients, doses, excipients, allergen profiles, third-party testing certifications, country of manufacture, and label claims can change between batches without notice. Our reviews reflect the product as it existed at the time of testing.

Before buying or consuming any supplement mentioned on this Site, verify the current Supplement Facts panel, ingredient list, and allergen warnings on the manufacturer’s official website or on the physical label. If anything on the current label differs from what we describe, trust the label, not our review, and contact the manufacturer with any questions.

Drug Interactions and Allergies

Many dietary supplements interact with prescription and over-the-counter medications. Examples include (but are not limited to) St. John’s Wort reducing the effectiveness of oral contraceptives and antidepressants; fish oil, garlic, ginkgo, and vitamin E increasing bleeding risk when combined with anticoagulants; calcium and iron impairing absorption of thyroid medication and certain antibiotics; and grapefruit-related compounds affecting statin metabolism.

This is not an exhaustive list. You are responsible for checking for interactions with your pharmacist or physician before combining a supplement with any medication. If you experience an adverse reaction, stop the product immediately and seek medical attention.
