Why You Should Keep a Supplement Diary

This supplement diary can help you keep track of the herbs and supplements you're taking. Make a photocopy for your doctor and other health care providers so they have this information in your chart. Keeping them up-to-date with this supplement diary can help prevent drug interactions and potentially harmful reactions.

What You Need for Your Supplement Diary
  • You will need to have all of your herb, supplement, vitamin, and mineral bottles on a table in front of you.
  • You will also need a printer and paper. I have designed the supplement diary page you need, which you will find on the last page of this article. There is room for four supplements per page--you may need to print several copies, depending on how many supplements you are taking.
See the links below for all the steps involved in making a supplement diary.
