| My Vitamins & Minerals |
Meeting essential nutrient requirements is critical to your long-term health. We assess your nutritional gaps based on your dietary intake and suggest supplements and alternative food sources. We'll show you what to take and how much, and explain why we've modified the average person's recommended intake, complete with leading science references. Our analysis reviews your health profile based on your input through quick-and-easy questionnaires--then it integrates who you are with the best science-based information to give you a truly personalized assessment.

Essential nutrients are those that are required to maintain optimal health. These must be supplied by food or supplement intake because they are not formed metabolically within the body.
All PogoHealth Recommendation reports include an analysis of the essential nutrients.

| Production Evaluations |
Has a product been quality tested to ensure that the supplements listed on the label are actually in the product? Are there any supplements or dosages that might be considered unsafe or excessive? We're here to provide basic guidance and information on products you're interested in. This summary provides a concise review of a line-by-line label analysis to ensure that you're informed about any supplements that may be harmful or offered in dosages above the ranges our science team determines are safe. Although only 3-5% of products have been tested for quality and purity by third-party testing facilities or government laboratories, we'll report on those that have. Products that have not been tested are not necessarily inferior in any way, but having the assurance of certification can give you confidence in a particular product.
