Supplement Red Flags: Twelve Warning Signs Worth Knowing

Some warning signs are more diagnostic than others. These are the ones that most consistently separate a questionable product from a defensible one.

Label and formulation flags

Proprietary blends that hide individual amounts. Ingredient lists so long that meaningful doses are arithmetically impossible within the capsule size. Ingredients present in amounts far below those used in the research cited for them - a practice sometimes called fairy dusting. No supplement facts panel at all. No batch number or expiry date. No manufacturing location stated anywhere on the site or packaging.

Marketing flags

Disease claims, which are illegal for supplements. Claims of a suppressed discovery or an industry conspiracy. Perpetual countdown timers and stock counters that reset when you reload the page. Before-and-after photographs. Testimonials without any verification mechanism. A fabricated or unverifiable expert endorsement. Prices that only appear after a long video. Aggressive upsells after you have already committed to a purchase.

Company flags

No physical address, or an address that is a mail forwarding service. Support only through a web form with no email or telephone. Refund terms that are vague about the start of the window, the condition of returned product, or who pays return shipping. No named people anywhere on the site. A domain registered very recently for a product presented as long-established. Reviews only on the company's own site with none anywhere independent.
