About Recommendations

Most supplements are genuinely safe for most people, but interactions with medication — blood thinners, thyroid drugs, diabetes treatment — are common and often left out of typical product marketing. I flag these because I'd rather you know before you buy than find out the hard way. A warning doesn't mean "don't take this" — it means "check with your GP first if this applies to you."

I have no paid partnerships with supplement brands. When I link to products, I use Amazon affiliate links — I earn a small commission if you buy, at no extra cost to you.

Not always. My articles help you understand whether a supplement is relevant to your situation before you spend money.

No — I'm not a currently practising doctor, pharmacist, or registered nutritionist. VitMax UK's content is based on published research, not medical advice. Always consult a GP before starting a new supplement if you have a health condition.

I look at ingredient quality, third-party testing, user reviews, and value for money. I only recommend products available on Amazon UK.

No — I don't run independent lab testing. I rely on the third-party testing certifications manufacturers provide, and focus my own work on researching the evidence behind each ingredient, so you know what the science actually supports before you buy.
