A name on a pouch is easy. A reason for what is inside takes more work.
We came to raise the standard. Start here: can you explain why each supplement is in your routine?
“Personalized” should lead to better questions. It should not end the conversation.
Start with your full list
Before adding a pack, write down what you already take. Include powders, gummies and medicines. Note the amount, how often you take it and why. Share the list with your clinician or pharmacist [1].
For example, your morning powder and evening gummy belong on the same page. A list is only useful if it shows the whole routine.
You do not need a perfect answer. You need a clear starting point.
Read past the big number
Find the serving size on the Supplement Facts label. Then read the amount per serving [2].
Here is a made-up math example: three equal capsules provide 300 mg. One provides 100 mg. This is label math, not a dose suggestion.
Write down both numbers. “300 mg” alone leaves out part of the story.
Know which pack you chose
WIC offers two routes. You can edit a personalized pack before ordering. A premade protocol is fixed [3].
If you want to change an ingredient, check which route you are using before you pay. Do not assume a fixed pack can be edited.
Ask what “tested” means
WIC publishes ingredient forms and amounts. Its quality page says independent labs test strength and purity on selected lots, called skip-lot testing [4].
That does not mean every lot is tested. A quality test also does not promise a health result [1].
A higher standard includes clear limits.
Make one useful check today
Pick one supplement. Write four things: its name, the serving size, the amount per serving and your reason for taking it.
What is missing? Take that question to your clinician or pharmacist before changing your routine.
You deserve a clear answer. No BS.
