As we start to increase that number that someone is taking, does that kind of change that equation a bit, that there could be an accumulation of risk, so to speak?

That definitely depends on the type of supplements you're taking, obviously.

But there is definitely an increased risk of side effects when you start stacking things together.

And the consequence of this is not always as obvious as I'm getting more side effects, you know, cumulative side effects.

But also sometimes you might reduce the absorption of something that you're taking.

Like if you're taking iron and calcium, they, they bind in the gastrointestinal tract.

You might not realize that you're not absorbing as, as much iron as you think you are, and if you're trying to correct a deficiency, not good.

What are some of the things that, that you would like people to know around that when they are taking that step of deciding on a supplement for themselves or whether they should take it how to factor in things like quality, sourcing, and how that affects their overall risk?
