How we count. A check mark means the person said on a podcast that they take it. A blue ring without a check means they recommend it but haven't said they take it. A faded photo means we have no record, not that they don't take it. Paid ad reads only count when the person also says they use it. Re-aired episodes are labeled and don't count as new mentions.

This is what these people said, not medical advice. Talk to your doctor before starting a supplement.
