Supplements: What Really Works, What Doesn’t, and How to Test Them (Without Wasting Money)

If your kitchen cabinet is stuffed with half-used vitamins, probiotics, magnesium, and “metabolism boosters,” this episode is your reset. Dr. Infantino breaks down how to stop guessing with supplements, what actually works (and why), and how to test whether a product is doing anything for your body. You’ll learn why most people use supplements to chase symptoms instead of fixing root causes, how to spot junk (and mislabeling), and the minimal “foundation” stack worth considering while you repair the real problem.

In this episode we cover:
• Why many supplements “work” only as symptom managers (and what to do instead).
• The big quality problem with supplements and mislabeled formulas
• Magnesium for constipation: why it’s like “drinking salt water” (osmosis explained)
• Can’t lose weight doing “all the right things”? Think hormone balance, not “metabolism boosters”
• The most common root cause: gut and/or liver imbalance (and how to approach it)
• A practical way to test if a supplement plan is working (reintroduce trigger foods)
• A minimalist “foundation” stack: multi/minerals, periodic probiotics, salmon oil, antioxidants — and when they help
• How to use herbals as a short-term tool to cleanse/repair, not a forever crutch

The key takeaway is use supplements strategically and temporarily to help your gut and liver heal, confirm progress with simple tests, then keep only the bare minimum for maintenance.
