Look beyond one ingredient
Hydration, overall nutrition and health context matter more than crediting a single food or supplement.

Joint discomfort
Bring patterns, not guesses

Hair changes
Rule out the bigger picture

Brain fog
Add the missing context
Sleep, stress, meals and symptoms overlap. Seeing them together is more useful than crediting one ingredient.
