FSA and HSA Eligible Supplements: What Qualifies and How to Use Your Benefits

If you have been setting aside pre-tax dollars in a Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account, you may not realize that certain supplements can qualify as eligible expenses. Most people associate FSA and HSA funds with doctor visits and prescriptions, but the rules have expanded.

For adults who rely on daily supplementation to support blood flow, cardiovascular health, and energy, this is worth understanding before your funds go unused.

What Makes a Supplement FSA or HSA Eligible

Not every supplement qualifies. Under IRS guidelines, HSA and FSA funds can be used on products that are used to treat, mitigate, or prevent a diagnosed medical condition. General wellness purchases on the basis of wanting more energy or better skin do not meet the threshold on the basis of those goals alone.

For eligibility, a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN), a document from a licensed healthcare provider confirming that a specific product is medically necessary for your individual health needs. With that letter in place, qualifying FSA-eligible supplements can be purchased with pre-tax dollars, saving you an average of 30% compared to after-tax spending.

HSA-eligible supplements follow the same requirement. The key difference between the two accounts is timing: HSA funds roll over year to year, while most FSA funds expire at the end of the calendar year.

Is Nitric Oxide Support HSA/FSA Eligible

Yes, for qualified customers. Berkeley Life has partnered with TrueMed to make it simple to use HSA or FSA funds on Berkeley Life products, including Nitric Oxide Support, Nitric Oxide Test Strips, and Menopause & Heart Health Support.

Through Berkeley Life HSA/FSA integration with TrueMed, the process works like this:

• Add products to your cart at berkeleylife.com
• At checkout, select "TrueMed, Pay with HSA/FSA" and enter your card details
• Complete a short health survey (about one minute)
• A licensed provider reviews your responses and determines eligibility
• If approved, you receive a Letter of Medical Necessity, typically within 24 to 48 hours

For subscription orders, you pay with a regular credit or debit card at checkout, complete the survey afterward, and if approved, TrueMed reimburses you through your HSA or FSA provider.

How to Use Your FSA/HSA Funds at Berkeley Life

The process is designed to be straightforward. 

• For one-time purchases, you can pay directly with your HSA or FSA card at checkout. 
• For ongoing subscriptions, which offer up to 30% savings and free shipping, TrueMed handles the reimbursement after you are approved.

You do not need to visit a doctor in person. The eligibility survey is completed online, and a licensed clinician reviews your responses remotely. If you are not approved, you can reapply at a later date.

So for anyone wondering whether you can use FSA funds on supplements, the answer is yes, provided there is medical necessity. The Truemed supplements pathway makes that determination simple and fast.

Why This Matters Before Your Funds Expire

FSA funds typically expire at the end of the calendar year, and unused balances do not carry over in most plans. If you have been contributing to an FSA throughout the year, December is the deadline to put that money to use.

HSA funds do not have the same expiration, but using them proactively on clinically studied supplementation is a practical way to invest in long-term health rather than leaving pre-tax dollars sitting idle.

Supporting Nitric Oxide production through daily supplementation is not a one-time expense. It is a daily practice. Using your HSA or FSA funds to cover that cost means you are investing in blood flow, energy, and cardiovascular wellness with money that was already set aside for health.

Start With What You Can Measure

If you have HSA or FSA funds available, understanding what qualifies can help you put those benefits toward eligible health expenses rather than letting them go unused. Berkeley Life works with TrueMed to make the eligibility process simple, with a licensed provider reviewing your individual health needs.
