“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.”

I know we need lots of vitamin B. But surely there are many more things important for brain health (such as Omega 3). What are some other foods and nutrients that you know of?

Why the contradictory information about nutritional supplements? Are they really a rip off?

My doctor says that nutritional supplements - Vitamin D, B, Omega 3, Kelp - are a rip off. He said that these are not necessary and people get the nutrients they need through their diet. he feels that these supplements are purely placebo and in some cases can actually cause liver damage.
On the other hand, lots of research that I’ve read online indicates that people need the supplements and that lack of them are what causes various other illness.
What do you know about taking supplements? Why is there such a contradiction in the information about them?
Just to clarify, I’m not trying to lose weight. I was just interested in being healthier and taking supplements for that. Thanks!

Some sources say it is difficult to get all the nutrients you need for a healthy pregnancy from your diet alone (even if you eat healthily) - whereas others say it could be dangerous/not necessary.
