Article: Your doctor can evaluate the condition of your health, as well as your diet, risk factors, and current medications to determine if buying supplements is a safe decision for your particular circumstances.  Discuss your medical conditions with your doctor before taking supplements, because some ingredients in supplements may interfere with specific health concerns.  Many doctors and pharmacists are not trained about supplements and natural products. Ask your healthcare practitioner something like, “How familiar are you with these natural supplements?” If they do not have extensive knowledge, ask for a referral to a dietitian or other professional who does. When buying natural supplements, know the difference between pills, capsules, powders, teas, and the variety of other forms supplements may come in. The form of a supplement affects its absorption, so you must take your specific circumstances into account when deciding what's right for you. If necessary, consult with a doctor or pharmacist. There are a number of places you can find herbal supplements for sale. Shop around for the best quality and value. Use the Dietary Supplement Label Database on the National Institute of Health’s website to compare the ingredients in similar products.  An Internet search will return a wide array of natural supplement shops online. Some specialize in specific supplements, others sell bulk product at wholesale prices, and others offer organic brands. You may be able to find a number of local natural supplement stores. This is a convenient option if you're not sure exactly what you are looking for, and if you'd prefer to speak with someone face-to-face about your particular needs. Chain retail, fitness supplement, and drug stores carry a selection of supplements. Once you have found the herbal supplements that you want to buy, examine the labels for the following before you make a purchase:  The manufacturer's name and address should be printed on the label. That way, if you do encounter any difficulties with taking your supplements, you can go directly to the source with your questions and complaints. Go over the complete ingredients list and, if there is something you don't understand, ask a doctor or pharmacist about it before buying supplements. Look for a seal from the US Pharmacopeia (USP) or NSF International. This means that the supplement manufacturer should adhere to quality guidelines created by these regulatory organizations. Supplements can be made with natural ingredients or they can be synthesized in a laboratory.  Synthetic products may be more likely to contain harmful additives or by-products. Look for supplements labeled “natural” and avoid those called “synthetic” – contact the manufacturer for this information if it is not listed on the bottle. For instance, vitamin E may be listed as d-alpha-tocopherol if natural and dl-alpha-tocopherol if synthetic. Supplements contain many ingredients other than the herb or vitamin they intend to, and not all of them are bad. Try to generally avoid those with added sugar, which may be listed as an ingredient ending in “-ose.” You may also want to avoid added cornstarch, yeast, soy, and whey.  Many dyes will be listed in the ingredients as a color then a number, such as “yellow no. 5.” Other ways they may be listed are simply as “FD&C,” or “E” then a number like “E102.” Every so often a new fad supplement appears on the market, or lists itself as a “cure all” remedy. These are likely just marketing ploys, and just because many people are taking a supplement doesn’t mean it’s right for you. In general, it’s better to wait awhile after a new supplement appears on the market so the FDA can begin to collect safety data on it. Anyone can put a supplement on the market with minimal scientific evidence of its safety and efficacy – the FDA removes the product from the market if it’s unsafe. Give a product some time on the market before using it.

Discuss your plans to take a supplement with your doctor. Familiarize yourself with supplement forms. Comparison shop through a variety of sources. Read the labels. Buy natural, not synthetic products. Try to avoid supplements with additives like sugar and dyes. Avoid “trendy” new supplements.

Problem: Article: Pour the water into an empty, clean aquarium or fish tank. Measure out the right amount based on the number of dwarf gouramis you have. Use natural, spring water or tap water that's been treated so there's no chlorine or chemicals in it. To treat tap water, run it through a dechlorinator. Place a submersible heater, which you can buy from a pet store or online retailer, inside the tank. Set it to a temperature no lower than 72 °F (22 °C) and no higher than 82 °F (28 °C) as dwarf gouramis need warm water to survive. Put an aquarium thermometer in the tank to monitor the water temperature. Because gouramis need soft, slightly acidic water, monitor the pH level so that it doesn't go below 6 or above about 8.8. Test the pH level at least once a month using pH test strips or a digital tester to make sure it's the right acidity.  If the pH is too high, you can lower it by adding natural items, like driftwood, or by installing a reverse osmosis filter. If the pH is too low, you can raise it by adding seashells or dissolving baking soda into the water. If you leave the tank too open, your gourami will become shy and skittish. Include a lot of aquatic plants and things like fake logs or large rocks for the fish to duck into or under.   Choose tall plants that grow to the top of the tank, like Amazon sword plants, java ferns, or hornwort. Never use items that you find outside, like branches or rocks, because they can contain harmful bacteria. Use plants like java moss or duckweed to provide cover for your gourami, which does best in darker environments. Add as many plants that float on the surface as you'd like. Leave at least a small area of the water uncovered so the fish can surface occasionally. Set the aquarium in a spot that's out of the way where your fish won't hear any loud or startling sounds. Good options include a bedroom, basement, or living space that isn't used often. If your fish is exposed to noises like shouting, alarms, or tapping, it can get scared and try to “escape.” This is dangerous because the fish will likely hit the wall of the tank and could injure itself. in the tank once every 2 weeks. To keep the water fresh, replace about 1/4 of it on a bi-weekly basis. Scoop it out with a cup or bucket, then pour clean water in. Be careful not to scoop up the gourami while you're replacing the water. Don't use soap when you're cleaning the tank or you could poison the fish.
Summary: Fill a tank with at least 10 gallons (38 L) of water per gourami. Use a heater to keep the water between 72 and 82 °F (22 and 28 °C). Maintain a water pH level between 6 and 8.8. Add decorations in the tank so the gourami has places to hide. Place floating plants on top of the water to create shade in the tank. Keep the tank in a quiet area since gouramis are sensitive to noise. Change out about 25% of the water
