Walk into any health store—or browse online—and you’ll find hundreds of supplement options: vitamins, minerals, probiotics, herbs, gummies, powders, and capsules for everything from immune health to better sleep.
But here’s the big question:
Are the supplements you’re taking actually helping you—or are they doing nothing at all?
At WellnessRXPharmacy.ca, we offer personalized supplement reviews led by our licensed pharmacist and naturopathic doctor (ND) to help you and your family make informed, safe, and effective choices.
In this blog, we’ll break down what a supplement review is, who it’s for, and why it’s one of the most intelligent wellness decisions a family can make.
What Is a Supplement Review?
A supplement review is a professional service where a qualified health provider—such as a pharmacist or naturopathic doctor—assesses all the vitamins, herbs, and health products you or your family are currently taking.
This includes:
Brand, dosage, and timing
Interactions with medications or other supplements
Redundant or unnecessary ingredients
Gaps in your routine based on your health goals
Age-specific needs for children, teens, adults, and seniors
We provide recommendations on what to stop, what to continue, and what to replace—with trusted, professional-grade products that are tailored to you.
Why Families Need a Supplement Review
It’s common for households to accumulate a mix of supplements over time—from drugstore purchases to influencer recommendations. But without expert guidance, you could be:
Taking too much of certain nutrients (like iron, vitamin A, or zinc)
Missing essential nutrients like magnesium, vitamin D, or omega-3s
Wasting money on low-quality or unnecessary products
Combining herbs or supplements that interact with medications
Giving children adult doses or forms that aren’t age-appropriate
A supplement review ensures every member of your family—from toddlers to grandparents—is on a safe, effective, and personalized regimen.

What Happens During a Review?

Health History & Goals: We discuss your current health concerns, medications, lifestyle, and wellness goals.
Full Supplement Audit: Bring in your supplements—we’ll go through each one for dosage, quality, and interactions.
Personalized Recommendations We’ll guide you on what to keep, stop, or swap, and recommend higher-quality or more effective options.
Family-Wide Strategy If you’re reviewing for your household, we provide suggestions for each member’s unique needs—from immune support to stress, sleep, digestion, and more.
Follow-Up Plan: We offer check-ins and ongoing support to monitor your progress and adjust as needed.
Common Signs You May Need a Supplement Review
You or your family may benefit from a professional review if:
You take 3 or more supplements regularly
You also take prescription medications
You experience digestive issues or fatigue despite supplements
You have chronic conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, or hormonal imbalances
You shop based on social media, trends, or generic advice
You’re supporting a child, teen, pregnant mom, or senior
Why Quality Matters
Not all supplements are created equal. Many products on the market:
Use synthetic or poorly absorbed ingredients
Contain fillers, dyes, or allergens
Lacks third-party testing or Health Canada approvals
