This is from someone who isn’t a fan of food supplements:
“Most of your supplements are loaded with hidden sugars, salts and harmful fillers. You’re really better off getting the nutrients you need from FOOD.”….
“The supplements industry is not only completely unregulated, it is also joined at the hip with some of the biggest pharmaceuticals companies, which have their nutritional supplements divisions. The general public has been mislead for decades to believe that dietary supplements are safe and effective means of ensuring good health, when they are, in fact, actually destroying health.”
Now I’m confused. Are supplements good or bad?

It is very hard to get all the nutrients you need from a healthy diet so supplements often help but they are only intended to be used in addition to a healthy diet and not instead of a healthy diet.
A multivitamin every day is a useful supplement.
