Everyone's needs are different, and working with a healthcare provider can help you figure out what vitamins you should take and which supplements are best suited to your lifestyle and wellness goals. Once your provider has identified your specific needs, vitamins and supplements can be beneficial in filling nutritional gaps, especially if you're not getting enough essential nutrients from food.  

Vitamins and supplements can help support overall health, enhance immune function, boost energy levels, and address specific needs like bone health, heart health, or mental clarity.  

At Ivim Health, we collaborate with board-certified healthcare professionals and nutrition specialists to ensure that our supplements are of the highest quality and safety while offering reliable and holistic support for your unique health journey.

It's important to follow recommended dosages and consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new vitamin or supplement regimen, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions or are taking GLP-1's or other medications. Taking certain vitamins and minerals in excessive amounts can be harmful to your health.  

We worked closely with our board-certified healthcare professionals and nutritional specialists when creating our vitamins and supplements to ensure they’re not only safe but effective in supporting your health goals.  

While it's always best to get your vitamins and nutrients from a balanced diet rich in whole foods, nutrient supplements can provide valuable support when that’s not possible.

No, vitamins and supplements are not considered medication. They are designed to support overall health and fill potential nutritional gaps, but they are not intended to diagnose, treat, mitigate, cure, or prevent a disease, orreplace prescribed medications. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before using vitamins or supplements as a substitute for medication. While supplements can enhance well-being and support bodily functions, they should always complement, not replace, medical treatments when needed.

To avoid potential side effects, always follow the recommended dosage and consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new vitamin or supplement regimen, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking GLP-1 medication or other prescription medications.

In many cases, you can take medicine and vitamins together, but it’s important to be cautious. Some vitamins and supplements can interact with prescription or over-the-counter medications, potentially affecting how they work or causing unwanted side effects.  

To avoid any adverse interactions, always inform your healthcare provider about all the vitamins and supplements you're taking alongside your prescribed medication. Your doctor can help ensure that combining medicine and vitamins is safe based on your specific health needs and conditions. 

The best time to take vitamins and supplements depends on the type of vitamin and your individual needs. Some vitamins are best absorbed with food, while other supplements may be better taken on an empty stomach for optimal absorption. 

In general, it’s important to follow the recommended dosage and timing on the product label or as advised by your healthcare provider. For personalized advice, always consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best time to take vitamins and supplements based on your health goals.
