Introduction

Many of us swallow expensive pills and powders in the belief that they will make us healthier, but do vitamin and mineral supplements actually help us, or could they be actively harmful?

For many commonly available supplements, there is little to no scientific evidence that they provide the health benefits they claim, and some can even be damaging.
