I take a number of supplements and I am concerned that I may be "overdosing"


All Purely Health Direct products conform to the advice given by the Food Standards Agency on doses suitable for long term supplementation.
Also, where necessary, our products carry a medical warning symbol, highlighting that these products may have a contra-indication. Please read these warnings carefully, and Purely Health Direct always advises customers to consult their Pharmacist or GP if they are concerned in any way that the supplements may affect any medicines they are taking.
What does RDA stand for ?


The EU has defined the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDAs) for a range of nutrients at amounts which are considered to be sufficient to prevent deficiency in most adult individuals in the population. The EU has not set RDAs for some nutrients. These do not necessarily represent the amount needed to maintain good health, merely the amount needed to prevent the onset of deficiency problems.
