This is not medical advice

Everything on Horseawood Guides is published for general information. We are researchers and writers, not physicians, dietitians or pharmacists. Nothing here constitutes medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and nothing here should replace a conversation with a qualified healthcare professional who knows your history.

Speak to a doctor first if any of these apply

• You are pregnant or nursing
• You are under 18
• You take prescription medication of any kind
• You have a diagnosed medical condition, including diabetes
• You are immunocompromised or taking immunosuppressants — this matters particularly with live probiotic organisms
• You have surgery scheduled

Dietary supplements are regulated differently

In the United States, dietary supplements are not subject to the pre-market approval process that applies to pharmaceutical drugs. The FDA does not approve dietary supplements for safety or effectiveness before they are sold. Any badge or claim suggesting a supplement is "FDA approved" is inaccurate — what a manufacturer can legitimately state is that a product is made in an FDA-registered facility, which is a statement about the premises, not the product.

Individual results vary

Response to any supplement depends on diet, genetics, existing health status, medication and consistency of use. Results described on this site are not guaranteed and may not be typical.

Never delay medical care

If you have a health concern, seek professional advice. Do not disregard or delay medical care because of something you read here. In an emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately.
