Health Supplements

This looks understandable. Well, just to a certain point though.

The subject here is not to buy a service or a product like any other consumption good...  we are talking about health and taking medication. And even natural, any ingested tablet or capsule  has an effect on  metabolism. 

In this country, all the medicines that can be obtained by self-prescription are kind of easy to get. These products, vitamin cocktails, health supplements and even painkillers- that can have a very strong active principle- are self service available. 
Therefore, the effect’s level of these items on the consumer's health is not that visible. 
There are so easily available, without talking to a professional, that people don't have any consciousness of the consequences on their health.
Most of the time, these pills and tablets are available on the supermarket's shelves as any other consumption goods, next to the tooth pasts, not that far from the cereals.

You must be aware that most health supplements are meant to have an effect on you,  even natural or organic.
Before any purchase, ask the shop tender.
If it is a natural products outlet, I don't think it could give any good help: neither diploma nor knowledge is requested to open this kind of business. 
I would rather recommend to look for advice in a pharmacy or at pharmacy’s desk of your supermarket.

The best would be to get information from a general practitioner: the trustful relationship you have with him or she is a good point, and you surely couldn't expect any fake money interested answer. 

Here is a list of questions you have to ask yourself before taking any health supplement:

• Do you know well your metabolism specificities? Certain components of a medicine can affect you more or less than the average of the patients.

• Are you allergic to certain substances or plants?

• Do you take regularly a medication? 
  So get the information about possible interactions with one or several ingredients that compose the supplement you have chosen.

• Have the health supplements you’ve chosen been tested and passed the government health agreement? 
  You will have the bad surprised that most items of these "health” range haven’t... simply because there are not considered as medicines... but they can affect your health. 

I don’t want to say that all health supplements are bad.
I just want to warn that these products are not that innocent.They have active principles and therefore have an effect on you.
