– Supplementation: The careful prescription of supplements.

He emphasized the importance of moderation and the potential risks associated with over-supplementation:

You just have to ensure one thing, that you are not giving too much. Because giving something is better, supplementation is better, but make sure you are not prescribing it too much,” he advised.



Tailored Supplementation Plans

Dr. Patil elaborated on the importance of tailored supplementation plans and the necessity of regular follow-ups:
Let’s say prescribing vitamin D for 6 weeks or for 8 weeks, it’s okay. But don’t prescribe it for a year and without follow up you just tell him that way. A frequent follow up is essential at least if he cannot afford to go for a test, at least he can come back to you for a follow up, which in turn means a lot,” he explained.
