The supplement industry is full of bold claims, but not every trendy product delivers real results. It might be time to reassess if you’re spending money on vitamins, powders, or pills without noticeable benefits or not knowing what you’re taking them for. Here are three of the most overhyped supplements—and smarter alternatives that actually support your health.
Mega-Dosed Multivitamins: High doses of every vitamin may sound beneficial, but they can lead to imbalances, unnecessary nutrient overload, or even side effects. More isn’t always better.
Smarter Alternative: Instead of a blanket approach, use targeted supplementation based on testing (like DNA insights) to address specific deficiencies. A balanced diet + microdosing key nutrients = better results.
“Detox” Teas & Pills: Your body naturally detoxes through your liver and kidneys. Most detox products rely on diuretics, which cause temporary water loss—not actual detoxification.
Smarter Alternative: Support your body’s natural detox pathways with proper hydration, fiber-rich foods, and gut-friendly nutrition. DNA insights can also highlight the most effective ways for your body to optimize detoxification.
Caffeinated pre-workout & Brain Boosters: Many stimulant-packed pre-workouts and cognitive enhancers cause energy spikes and crashes, jitters, or long-term stress on your system.
Smarter Alternative: Fuel your workouts and brain function with whole foods, balanced macronutrients, and supplements designed to match your body’s energy metabolism. Personalizing your nutrition based on your DNA ensures real, sustainable performance benefits.
The Bottom Line
Not all supplements are necessary—and some can do more harm than good. Instead of taking a random mix of vitamins and powders based on generic advice, a DNA-focused approach helps you streamline your routine and invest in only what your body truly needs.
