Absolutely not. SuppScanr is designed as an educational and informational tool only. While we provide evidence-based data from scientific research, our recommendations should never replace professional medical advice. Always consult with your doctor, pharmacist, or qualified healthcare provider before starting, stopping, or changing any supplement or medication regimen. Your healthcare provider knows your complete medical history and can provide personalized guidance that our tool cannot.

Using SuppScanr is simple and intuitive. Start by entering the supplements and medications you're currently taking or considering. You can search by name or browse our comprehensive database. Our system will analyze all combinations and provide detailed reports on potential interactions, including risk levels, side effects, and recommendations. For Pro users, you can save your stacks for future reference and generate detailed PDF reports. The tool works for both individual supplements and complex multi-supplement stacks.

SuppScanr maintains a rigorous, research-driven database compiled from peer-reviewed scientific studies, clinical trials, and authoritative medical sources. We regularly update our database with the latest research findings. However, supplement science is constantly evolving, and individual responses can vary significantly. We recommend using our tool as a starting point for research, but always verify findings with healthcare professionals and stay informed about new research in your areas of interest.

Supplement safety depends on many factors including the specific supplements, dosages, individual health conditions, and timing. Some combinations are perfectly safe and even synergistic, while others may cause adverse effects or reduce effectiveness. SuppScanr helps identify potential issues, but remember that individual responses vary. Factors like age, health status, medications, and genetics all play important roles. Always start with lower doses when combining new supplements, monitor your body's response, and consult healthcare professionals for personalized guidance.
