I think tracking progress is the best way to know if a supplement is working instead of just guessing based on how you feel

I would first check whether the supplement actually has good research behind it before expecting results

Sometimes the improvement comes from better food and sleep rather than the supplement itself so it is important to look at everything

I think people expect results too quickly and stop taking things before they have a fair way to evaluate the outcome

For me the first step would be knowing exactly what benefit the supplement is supposed to provide
