Question 1 of 15

Have you ever been diagnosed with serious kidney disease, liver disease, or are you currently undergoing active cancer treatment?

Includes: CKD, cirrhosis, active hepatitis, chemotherapy, or radiation

Yes No

Question 2 of 15

Are you currently pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding?

Yes No

Question 3 of 15

Do you take prescription blood thinners?

Blood thinners like warfarin/Coumadin interact with Vitamin K. We’ll adjust your recommendations to avoid complications.

Common blood thinners: Warfarin, Coumadin, Eliquis, Xarelto, Plavix

Yes, I take blood thinners No, I don’t take blood thinners

Question 4 of 15

Do you need to avoid or limit iodine?

Some thyroid conditions (hyperthyroidism, Graves’ disease) require limiting iodine. We’ll ensure your multivitamin is safe for you.

Yes, I need to limit iodine No, iodine is fine for me

Question 5 of 15

Do you have a fish or shellfish allergy?

Many Omega-3, glucosamine, and collagen supplements are fish-derived. We’ll recommend plant-based alternatives for you.

Yes, I have a fish/shellfish allergy No, no fish allergies

Question 6 of 15

Do you require strictly vegan supplements?

Yes No

Question 7 of 15

Do you eat eggs OR red meat regularly?

Choline is critical for brain health, liver function, and cell membranes. Best sources: eggs (150mg per egg) and red meat (100mg per 3oz).

You need 425-550mg daily. If you eat fewer than 2 eggs OR 2 servings of red meat per week, you likely need supplementation.

Yes, I eat eggs or red meat 2+ times per week No, I eat these less often

Question 8 of 15

Do you perform physically demanding work or athletics that stress your joints?

Yes No

Question 9 of 15

Do you experience any of these?

Magnesium supports 300+ enzymatic reactions and is often deficient in modern diets. It’s especially important for sleep quality, stress management, and muscle recovery.

Signs you may need magnesium: Poor sleep, muscle cramps, high stress, or coffee intake (which depletes magnesium).

Yes, I have poor sleep, high stress, or drink coffee regularly No, none of these apply to me

Question 10 of 15

Have you ever had calcium kidney stones?

If you’ve had calcium-based kidney stones, we’ll adjust your calcium recommendations to prevent recurrence while still supporting bone health.

Yes, I’ve had calcium kidney stones No, never had kidney stones

Question 11 of 15

Yes No

Question 12 of 15

Are you 35 years of age or older?

Your body’s CoQ10 production drops by 50% by age 40. CoQ10 powers your cells’ energy production (especially heart muscle) and declines naturally with age.

If you’re 35+, we’ll recommend CoQ10 to support cellular energy, heart health, and exercise recovery.

Yes, I’m 35 or older No, I’m under 35

Question 13 of 15

Are you 50 years of age or older?

Age 50+ brings specific nutritional gaps that basic supplementation doesn’t address:

• Vitamin E: Antioxidant protection for your cardiovascular system
• Lutein: Eye protection against macular degeneration (leading cause of vision loss after 50)
• Collagen: Your body’s collagen production drops 25-40% by age 50. We’ll help you rebuild bone, joint, and skin structure.

Yes, I’m 50 or older No, I’m under 50

Question 14 of 15

Do any of these apply to you?

Blue light from screens damages your macula (central vision) over time. Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids that filter harmful blue light and protect against macular degeneration.

Most people don’t eat enough lutein-rich foods (kale, spinach) to offset modern screen exposure. Select all that apply:

I spend 6+ hours per day looking at screens (work, phone, TV) Family history of macular degeneration or vision problems I experience frequent digital eye strain or fatigue None of these apply to me

Question 15 of 15

Do you take any of these medications regularly?

Common medications deplete essential nutrients—a phenomenon called Drug-Induced Nutrient Depletion (DIND). We’ll ensure you’re replenishing what your medications are taking away.

Select all that apply (or select “none” if you don’t take any of these):

Statins (Lipitor, Crestor, Zocor, Atorvastatin) — Depletes CoQ10 by 25-50%, causing muscle pain and fatigue Metformin (diabetes medication) — Depletes B12 (causes neuropathy) and CoQ10 Birth control pills or hormone replacement — Depletes B6, Folate, and Magnesium PPIs (Omeprazole, Prilosec, Nexium, Prevacid) — Blocks B12, Magnesium, and Calcium absorption Diuretics (water pills for blood pressure) — Depletes Magnesium and Potassium I don’t take any of these medications
