The world of dietary supplements can often be a confusing challenge for consumers to determine which work and which are a waste of money-or potentially dangerous. Just step inside a GNC or Whole Foods and see the rows of pills, powders, bars, and drinks. Add to that the endless variety of supplements touted on the internet and it seems you need a Ph.D. to sort them all out. David Mastroianni worked in the natural products industry for over 35 years. He will share his knowledge and experience to provide information for informed decisions on what supplements to take-if any-to complement your health and wellness efforts and how to recognize a quality supplement brand. Please note: This is not a medical course and should not take the place of any treatments prescribed by your doctor, but it is a good way to understand how to read product labels and understand your options when it comes to dietary supplements that can be purchased over the counter.
