WellDosed

Request an addition

We cover 17 supplements and a small set of medications, and the catalogue is the main thing holding this site back. If something you take is missing, telling us is genuinely useful: it is how we decide what to research next.

Two kinds of request are worth making. A supplement gets a full monograph: graded evidence, dosage, risks and interactions. A medication is added so the stack builder can check it against supplements, not so we can write about the medicine itself. We do not give medical advice about medicines.

Before you ask, it is worth checking the “coming soon” lists on the supplements and interactions pages, since a fair number of the obvious ones are already queued. Asking again for something already listed is not a problem though: it tells us it matters to more than one person, which moves it up.

What should we add?

The supplement or ingredient, not a brand or product.

Only if you want to hear back when this is added. We use it for that and nothing else, never for marketing, and we delete it once the request is closed or after twelve months. Leave it blank and your request is completely anonymous. See our privacy policy.

Waiting for the anti-spam check to finish. This is usually instant and needs nothing from you.

What happens to your request

It reaches a queue we review. Researching one supplement properly takes a while, since every claim on this site has to be traceable to a peer-reviewed source before it goes up, so please read a request as a vote on priority rather than a promise of a date.

This form is not the place for anything urgent or personal. If you need advice about your own health or medication, speak to a pharmacist or doctor. To correct something already published, email content@welldosed.co.za instead, which we monitor for exactly that.
