I have heard that the dietary supplement industry is unregulated. Why are there not some controls and assurances of public safety?
I hear some health care professionals say that dietary supplements are dangerous and are not needed if I eat a good diet. Is this true?
What is the difference between vitamins in pill form and those found in food? Does the body absorb both equally well?
You should take vitamins or dietary supplements for better health. There are millions of scientific articles, books and other publications about the health-promoting effects of nutrients that are present in dietary supplements. Many nutrients are essential, or indispensable, meaning we cannot live without ingesting them. Other nutrients, such as antioxidants, are not essential for life, but do have health-promoting properties. Dietary supplements simply keep people healthier and happier.
