Thinking about accepting a supplement, nutraceutical, or wellness brand collaboration?<\/strong><\/p>

For a doctor, a supplement collaboration is not simply another influencer or social media opportunity.<\/p>

When your name, photograph, medical qualification, or professional credibility<\/strong> is connected to a commercial health product, the communication deserves careful review.<\/p>

This is particularly important when the collaboration includes a product recommendation, medical claim, paid promotion, or public endorsement<\/strong>.<\/p>

Before you accept a supplement collaboration, use this practical 10-point checklist.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1. What Exactly Is the Product?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Start by identifying what the brand is actually selling.<\/p>

Is it a:<\/p>

\u2610 Supplement
\u2610 Nutraceutical
\u2610 Wellness product
\u2610 Health-related commercial product<\/p>

Don’t assume that calling something a “supplement”<\/strong> makes the endorsement issue disappear.<\/p>

Look at the actual product, the claims being made about it, and the role you are being asked to play.<\/p>

Ask:<\/strong><\/p>

“What exactly am I being asked to promote?”<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

2. Am I Publicly Endorsing the Product?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Look carefully at the proposed script, caption and visuals.<\/p>

Watch for statements such as:<\/p>

\u274c “I recommend this supplement.”<\/strong><\/p>

\u274c “This is the supplement I trust.”<\/strong><\/p>

\u274c “I prescribe\/recommend this to my patients.”<\/strong><\/p>

\u274c “Every woman should take this.”<\/strong><\/p>

The applicable professional-conduct framework specifically addresses public endorsement of a drug or product of the industry by a medical practitioner<\/strong>.<\/p>

So don’t focus only on whether the product is labelled a supplement.<\/p>

Also ask:<\/p>

“Am I being presented as a doctor who personally recommends this particular product?”<\/strong><\/p>

For a broader review of public product endorsements, see our Doctor Product Endorsement Red-Flag Checklist<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

3. Is My Professional Identity Being Used?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Look at how the brand wants to present you.<\/p>

\u2610 Is your name being used?<\/p>

\u2610 Is your photograph being used?<\/p>

\u2610 Are you being introduced as a doctor?<\/p>

\u2610 Are your qualifications being displayed?<\/p>

\u2610 Are you appearing in the brand’s advertisement?<\/p>

Now ask:<\/p>

“Is the brand using my medical qualification to make this product more credible?”<\/strong><\/p>

If your professional identity is central to why the audience should trust the product, the collaboration deserves careful consideration.<\/p>

You can also review the NMC-Safe Posting Checklist<\/strong> before publishing professional or promotional content.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
