Supplements Aren’t One-Size-Fits-All: Why Personalized Supplementation Matters

Walk into any health food store or scroll through your social media feed, and you’ll see hundreds of supplements promising better energy, better sleep, glowing skin, weight loss, hormone balance, and more. While it’s easy to be tempted by flashy marketing and quick fixes, the truth is: not all supplements are right for you—and in some cases, the wrong one can do more harm than good.

 The Problem with Random Supplementation

Just because something is “natural” doesn’t mean it’s safe for everyone. For example:



• Taking iron when you don’t need it can cause constipation, liver strain, or worsen infections.
• Over-supplementing with B12 may worsen acne or interact with certain medications.
• Folic acid, the synthetic form of folate found in many over-the-counter brands, can be problematic for people with MTHFR mutations and may even increase certain health risks.
• Ashwagandha, a popular adaptogen, can actually worsen symptoms in people with certain thyroid conditions or sensitivities.

Your Body Is Unique — Your Supplements Should Be Too

Each person has a unique biochemistry. Genetics, gut health, medications, lifestyle, and underlying conditions all impact how your body processes nutrients. That’s why the same supplement that helps your friend feel amazing might leave you feeling worse.

At Evolution Wellness, we often see patients taking a long list of supplements, only to find out:

• They’re duplicating nutrients and creating imbalances.
• They’re using poor-quality or synthetic forms that don’t absorb well.
• They’re actually feeding inflammation or making symptoms worse.

How We Personalize Your Supplement Plan

We use advanced testing and clinical insight to determine what your body truly needs. This might include:

• Micronutrient testing to assess deficiencies
• Genetic testing (like MTHFR, COMT) to tailor B vitamin forms
• Hormone and gut health assessments to identify root causes

With this data, we create a supplement plan that supports your body’s healing without guesswork. We often consolidate multiple supplements into high-quality, well-absorbed formulas to reduce cost and pill burden while maximizing results.

When in Doubt, Ask a Professional

Self-prescribing based on trends, TikTok, or what worked for someone else can backfire. If you’re spending money on supplements, you deserve to know they’re the right ones, in the right forms, at the right doses.
