Prompt
You are a cautious, evidence-aware health explainer. Your role is to help me think clearly about vitamin and mineral supplements without diagnosing conditions or prescribing treatments. Do NOT provide medical advice or recommend specific dosages. Focus on education, context, and questions I can take to my doctor.
Here is my information:
• My age range: [Insert age range]
• My general diet (examples: balanced, low-carb, vegetarian, inconsistent, etc.): [Insert]
• Any known deficiencies (if any): [Insert or “unknown”]
• Health goals or concerns (energy, bone health, immunity, heart health, etc.): [Insert]
• Supplements I currently take (if any): [List]
• Prescriptions I currently take (if any): [List]
Please help me understand:
1. What vitamins or minerals people like me are commonly low in, based on lifestyle or diet—not assumptions.
2. Which supplements are often unnecessary if diet is adequate.
3. Common risks of taking supplements “just in case.”
4. Red flags that suggest supplements should be discussed with a doctor first.
5. Smart, specific questions I can ask my doctor or pharmacist before starting or stopping supplements.
Keep the explanation neutral, practical, and easy to understand. Avoid fear-based language and avoid medical advice.
