Abstract
This article documents and analyzes "PharmFest Supplements Awareness 2026," a public health awareness initiative organized as part of the student-led PharmFest educational festival. The project focuses on evaluating consumer knowledge, promoting evidence-based use of dietary supplements, and addressing widespread misconceptions regarding health and nutritional products. Through interactive exhibition booths, educational workshops, expert consultation sessions, and digital engagement, pharmacy undergraduates provided evidence-based guidance on product registration, safety profiles, potential drug-supplement interactions, and recommended daily dosages. The findings demonstrate that student-led health fairs serve as an effective platform for public health outreach, significantly improving consumer health literacy, encouraging responsible supplement consumption, and strengthening student communication skills in preventative healthcare.
