# Less shelf clutter. More clinical sense.

Canonical HTML: [https://malehealth.co.za/supplements-men.html](https://malehealth.co.za/supplements-men.html)

A focused plan that considers diet, deficiencies, medication, evidence, cost and what you are actually trying to improve. Consultations are with Dr Luhard through Medify in Waterkloof, Pretoria.

## More capsules do not equal better health

Supplements can be useful when they correct a deficiency, support a defined clinical need or have a reasonable evidence base for a specific outcome. They can also waste money, duplicate ingredients, interact with medication or create false reassurance.

## What a targeted review considers

- Your current products, doses and ingredient overlap
- Dietary pattern and relevant lifestyle factors
- Symptoms and confirmed or suspected deficiencies
- Medication and potential interactions
- Kidney, liver, bleeding and other safety considerations
- Whether blood testing is useful
- A clear reason and review date for each product

**Bring everything:** Take photographs of the front label and full ingredient panel of every supplement you currently use. “A testosterone booster” or “a multivitamin” is not specific enough to assess.

## The aim is a short, defensible list

Your final plan may add a supplement, change the dose or timing of one, replace a duplicated combination or stop several entirely. It should be easy to follow and tied to a defined purpose.

## Supplements do not replace diagnosis

Persistent fatigue, sexual symptoms, mood changes, breathlessness or exercise intolerance deserve medical assessment. A supplement plan should not delay appropriate investigation.

## Review your current stack

Bring clear photographs of every label plus a list of medication and recent blood results.
