By being careful: If you are taking any medicines, you need to check with your doctor before beginning supplements. Don't over do. More is not necessarily better, and is sometimes distinctly worse. On the other hand, taking too little is often worthless and ineffective. Use a reputable, good quality supplement, and follow the dosing directions exactly.

Herbal supplements: Read labels, check for potential interactions with your doctor, understand potential side effects. Obtain pure supplements.
