Especially when considering viral supplements, which pop up on TikTok often, you need to proceed with caution.

This means that companies push products on huge scales to reach creators\u2019 audiences, often via \u201cgifted\u201d campaigns that don\u2019t necessarily have to be disclosed as ads. But there\u2019s also a push for virality on the creator level. Someone creating TikTok content about a brand or product wants that video to perform well, even if that occasionally means adding layers of \u2018&#8221;hype&#8221; that aren\u2019t really true. This includes supplements.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/best-viral-supplement-brands\/\" current-title=\"Viral Supplements Are Often Too Good To Be True, but These 5 *Actually* Worth Trying, According to Experts\" current-image=\"viral-supplement-brands-feature-425x285.jpg\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-03-14\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/best-viral-supplement-brands\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/best-viral-supplement-brands\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/best-viral-supplement-brands\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe biggest thing that stands out to me about supplements that go viral is that they usually do so because the creator has made some outrageous claims about what the supplement will do for someone,\u201d explains <a href=\"https:\/\/theintuitivenutritionist.com\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/theintuitivenutritionist.com\/about\">Jenn Baswick<\/a>, RD, MHSc, the founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/theintuitivenutritionist.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/theintuitivenutritionist.com\/\">The Intuitive Nutritionist<\/a>. \u201cAnd oftentimes, these claims aren\u2019t backed by clinical research or health professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fitness Manager and Personal Trainer<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/coach_johnr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/coach_johnr\/\"> John Russolillo<\/a> agrees: \u201cMarketing plays a big role in a product\u2019s success, whether that product is legitimate or not.

It\u2019s an essential dietary mineral that is involved in energy production, nervous system function, blood pressure regulation, and blood glucose control. We typically get magnesium from foods like dark leafy greens, bananas, chickpeas, avocados, and more.\u00a0But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5786912\/#:~:text=In%20developed%20countries%2C%20older%20data,%E2%80%9320%25%20of%20the%20population.&amp;text=This%20corroborates%20more%20recent%20data,levels%20%3C0.80%20mmol%2FL.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5786912\/#:~:text=In%20developed%20countries%2C%20older%20data,%E2%80%9320%25%20of%20the%20population.&amp;text=This%20corroborates%20more%20recent%20data,levels%20%3C0.80%20mmol%2FL.\">recent studies<\/a> actually estimate that at least 30 percent of Americans aren\u2019t getting enough magnesium on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>Baswick recommends magnesium for a few reasons.

There isn\u2019t one particular brand of magnesium going viral on Tiktok (there are lots!) but Thorne is a trusted brand that makes science-backed supplements you can trust; the brand partners with leading labs at Cleveland Clinic and\u00a0 Duke University to formulate their products.

But caffeine technically does function as a supplement in your diet, and it\u2019s one of the most enduring viral products in all its forms across social media. According to Russolillo, \u201ccaffeine [helps with] energy and focus, which help you have an efficient and optimal workout for better results and more enjoyment in the gym.\u201d Yes, you read that right\u2014enjoying the gym should be the main goal of your exercise and wellness routine.<\/p>\n<p>So, why caffeine? \u201cIf you\u2019re always tired and lethargic in the gym, it\u2019s hard to enjoy it,\u201d Russolillo says. You can always opt for a normal cup of coffee, but could also try a supplement like <a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FSimply-Gum-Peppermint-Plant-Based-Aspartame-Free%2Fdp%2FB07YF5SZXX%3Ftag%3Dwgtrx9222-20%26asc_refurl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.wellandgood.com%252Fbest-viral-supplement-brands%252F%26asc_source%3Ddirect%26asc_campaign%3Dno-campaign&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Fbest-viral-supplement-brands%2F&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Simply-Gum-Peppermint-Plant-Based-Aspartame-Free\/dp\/B07YF5SZXX\">Simply Gum\u2019s Awaken Gum<\/a> ($15).

But buying green juices (or enough produce to make your own) is expensive and time-consuming.<\/p>\n<p>Vesco discovered Athletic Greens recently, and she explains, \u201cit\u2019s packed with way more vitamins and nutrients\u201d than the other green juices she\u2019d been using, and even better, is much more convenient. \u201cStarting my morning routine with a huge green juice is a non-negotiable for me and was always an issue when traveling, but thanks to Athletic Greens, I can always keep a green juice in my back pocket,\u201d Vesco shares.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fathleticgreens.sjv.io%2Fc%2F2372336%2F1087107%2F13896%3FsubId1%3DSTMSFD-1112457%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fdrinkag1.com%252Fen&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Fbest-viral-supplement-brands%2F&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/drinkag1.com\/en\">AG1<\/a> ($79) is one of only a handful of products to be both NSF-certified and made in a TGA-registered facility.

He explains that though \u201ccreatine is naturally found in the body in small doses, adding small amounts while you\u2019re consistent with an exercise routine can help you experience better results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Russolillo recommends <a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FThorne-Creatine-High-Quality-Monohydrate-Gluten-Free%2Fdp%2FB07978VPPH%3Ftag%3Dwgtrx9222-20%26asc_refurl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.wellandgood.com%252Fbest-viral-supplement-brands%252F%26asc_source%3Ddirect%26asc_campaign%3Dno-campaign&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Fbest-viral-supplement-brands%2F&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Thorne-Creatine-High-Quality-Monohydrate-Gluten-Free\/dp\/B07978VPPH\">Thorne Creatine<\/a> ($40) as \u201cthe most popular and best creatine on the market,\u201d so it\u2019s tried and true.

It\u2019s about more than what\u2019s trending, Baswick says: \u201cEveryone should make choices that make the most sense for their personal health goals and for their wallet.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>What should I look for in a healthy supplement?<\/h3>\n<p>Most of us have strong feelings about personal health and wellness, and when a product seems to pop up everywhere, it\u2019s tempting to buy and try even if it really wouldn\u2019t be the best fit for your personal wellness goals. \u201cMy biggest piece of advice is to make sure you\u2019re following and supporting people who are creating content that elevates you, not makes you wish you were something else,\u201d Vesco recommends. &#8220;No creator should make you feel like you need a particular product to make you better or healthier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That said, there are some general red and green flags our experts suggest to look for, so that anytime a supplement or wellness product piques your interest, you\u2019ll be able to make your own judgment!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Green flags<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Accredited health professional sharing about the supplements (for example a registered dietitian, medical doctor, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>A creator who references research studies (especially systematic reviews or meta-analyses)<\/li>\n<li>Third-party tested supplements<\/li>\n<li>Products that are educational and rely on science<\/li>\n<li>A true \u201csupplement\u201d to your wellness routine: a healthy diet, consistent exercise, and natural recovery strategies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Red flags<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Someone without any credentials sharing bold claims about supplements (and not referencing research or evidence)<\/li>\n<li>Outrageous, \u201ctoo-good-to-be-true\u201d claims or anything that seems too good to be true<\/li>\n<li>Products that promise shortcuts to your goals<\/li>\n<li>Any product that has never been done or seen before<\/li>\n<li>Influencers and creators sharing products that are clearly brand new and unused, especially within paid partnerships<\/li>\n<li>Creators posting different products every day<\/li>\n<li>An influencer who uses #SponsoredAd on every post (it\u2019s hard to distinguish which they actually use and like and which just had high commission rates)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s important to approach viral products, especially wellness products, with a keen eye.
