Aaron Cohen

My name is Aaron Cohen. I'm a software engineer, startup founder, and the person behind Off-label Insight.

I live with panic disorder and ADHD, and I spent years trying to understand how the supplements and medications I was taking actually worked. Doctors gave me prescriptions with no context. The internet gave me scare tactics or sales pitches. Nobody would just explain the science in plain language and let me make my own decisions.

Why this exists

I've had my share of health struggles. Through that process, I learned that being an informed patient and consumer is the single most important thing you can do for your own wellbeing. Understanding what you're putting in your body shouldn't require a pharmacology degree.

This site exists because I believe the information gap around supplements and medications is a real problem. People deserve access to clear, evidence-based explanations of how these compounds work, what the research actually says, and what to watch out for.

What to expect

Every entry here is written with the goal of helping you understand the supplements, vitamins, and compounds that affect your daily life. I'm not here to tell you what to take or what to avoid. I'm here to make sure that whatever you decide, you're making that decision with real information.

I care about health literacy, informed decision-making, and helping people take an active role in their own wellness. If that resonates with you, start reading.
