Supplements Simplified: What to Know Before You Buy
If you’ve ever stood in the vitamin aisle feeling completely overwhelmed, you’re not alone.
Here is the story of Client “S”. She came to The Metabolic Edit already taking a handful of supplements, including a multivitamin, some turmeric, magnesium, and a few things she’d picked up after seeing someone recommend them on social media.
But despite doing “all the things,” she still felt off. Fatigue. Hormonal symptoms. Trouble sleeping. She had good intentions, but the results just weren’t showing up.
That’s when we took a step back together, simplified her routine, and focused on quality, personalization, and what her body actually needed.
Here’s what you need to know before you invest another dollar in a supplement bottle.
Not All Supplements Are Created Equal
One of the biggest mistakes we see? Grabbing the cheapest option off the shelf, assuming it’s all the same.
The truth is, quality matters more than quantity. Over-the-counter supplements can be poorly absorbed, filled with additives, or may not even contain whats on the label. Some are not tested for purity or potency at all.
At The Metabolic Edit, we work only with professional, medical grade supplements sourced straight from the manufacturer. Our recommended brands are third-party tested, properly dosed, and designed for optimal absorption.
If your supplement isn’t doing its job, it’s not a bargain, it’s a waste.
A Common Deficiency You Might Miss: Vitamin D3 + K2
Many women are deficient in vitamin D3, especially if they work indoors, live in northern climates, or wear sunscreen regularly. What most people don’t realize is that vitamin D needs vitamin K2 to work optimally.
Together, they help regulate calcium, support bone health and balance the immune system, but taking D3 without K2 can create imbalances. That’s why we often recommend a combined D3/K2 formula as part of a well-rounded protocol (after testing, of course).
This is a perfect example of how small details in supplementation really matter and why personalization is so important.
What Works for “S” Might Not Work for You
There’s no one-size-fits-all supplement routine. The right approach depends on your medical history, current medications, symptoms, your labs, your lifestyle and your goals.
“S” didn’t need more supplements, she needed the right ones. Once we simplified her protocol and matched her support to her lab results and hormone patterns, she finally started seeing results. More energy. Better sleep. Fewer cravings.
That’s the power of a personalized approach. And that’s exactly what The Metabolic Edit is here to provide.
Before You Buy, Ask Yourself:
Do I know why I’m taking this?
Is it tested for quality and purity?
Is the form of the nutrient well-absorbed?
Could this interfere with any of my medications?
Does this actually align with my current needs or lab results?
If you’re not sure, that’s where we come in.
