Supplement Dosing

Label strength is described as unrelated to therapeutic dosing. Therapeutic dosing should be based on clinical research rather than supplement packaging. The article says prescribing supplements at label strength will almost always underdose patients. Underdosing is described as the most prevalent and consequential mistake in functional medicine. A sub-therapeutic dose of a correct product is described as ineffective rather than safer. The article states that overdosing is dangerous and should be avoided, even though underdosing is more common.
