Sometimes a simple label isn't enough to explain what a radio option really means. This React radio group adds descriptive paragraphs below each option label, helping users understand the implications of their choice before selecting. Built with shadcn/ui and Radix UI, the pattern uses text-muted-foreground styling for subtle supporting text and proper vertical alignment with items-start and mt-1 on the radio button. Perfect for settings pages, subscription tiers, or any choice requiring explanation.
The default spacing and sizing.
Increased spacing for better readability.
