Only five supplements pass the evidence-based selection. Who needs them, how much, in what form, and how to check that they work for you specifically.

Potassium supports blood pressure, heart rhythm, and muscles. On the method, there are no bananas or potatoes — there are avocado, greens, salmon, and mushrooms. A table of sources and why not from pills.

2-3 months after changing your diet, your hair may shed more heavily—and this is not because of carbs. Three real reasons, what to check and what to eat.
Chronic stress and lack of sleep keep cortisol high, while cortisol stores fat around the abdomen and disrupts the menstrual cycle. Why fasting is harmful here and what to do first.
