<p>After reading here on PH about the benefits of magnesium, and realizing I need more iodine, I went to the local store that sells lots of supplements. (It is a grocery store.) The woman who works in the supplement section seemed very, very knowledgeable and helpful, and I asked her how she learned all of it, to which she replied she simply has always been interested in it and it is the culmination of lots of reading.</p> <p>[Note: I understand that a number of folks discourage any supplementation, and feel that ALL nutrition can be adequately attained through a varied diet - and while I can appreciate that sentiment, it does not help with my goal of finding reliable and trustworthy information sources.] </p> <p>So my question is, when you want to learn more about supplements (not brands), and decide what form and dose and even what vitamins/minerals/herbs/etc., where do you turn for reliable information? Is PaleoHacks the best source? Are there specific books that you would recommend, or websites you would refer to?</p>

<p>Any supplement suggestion/recommendation has mostly just come from reading articles (books &amp; web) &amp; chats with my local naturopath.</p> <p>After i've come a cross a supplement of interest, for something that may apply to me &amp; my circumstances, i usually do a sanity check/confirmation at theses sites;<br> <a href="http://perfecthealthdiet.com/recommended-supplements/" rel="nofollow">perfecthealthdiet.com</a><br> <a href="http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/" rel="nofollow">lpi.oregonstate.edu</a><br> <a href="http://www.raysahelian.com/" rel="nofollow">raysahelian.com</a><br> <a href="http://acu-cell.com/" rel="nofollow">acu-cell.com</a> </p> <p>&amp; if i am still on the fence after that, i'll resort to google for more info. preferably from pubmed studies etc if they are available.</p>
