Have You Ever Wondered If The Vitamin Pill,

you take every day,

actually does you any good? nearly 40 percent of American adults take a daily multivitamin, and more than 50 percent of American adults take some sort of dietary supplement (the most popular is a daily calcium supplement) [source:Fetters], while evidence suggests that calcium may actually have a positive impact on your health, there doesn't seem to be any evidence any other ingredient in your multivitamin does anything positive for you, at all! 

also many of us take fish oil capsules believing the omega-3 fatty acids will reduce our risk of developing heart disease; while some studies suggest that fish oil supplements may have heart-healthy benefits, conflicting recent research finds its heart benefits may be bunk, so forget the capsules and eat more fish, have a look here to see if the dietary supplements you take are actually helping you or are helping a $20 billion a year multivitamin industry.
