Check Your Food Supplements and Vitamins

I have heard that there are few studies to prove that taking food supplements and vitamins will make you live longer. However, according to Lancet report, Dr. Goran Bjelakovic of Copenhagen, Denmark warns the public that taking too much food supplement and vitamins can even be harmful.

Personally, I take Myra-400 E vitamin everyday and multivitamins occasionally, especially if I feel a bit weak or tired. If you are thin, malnourished, sickly or pregnant, then you need to take vitamins.

As for other supplements, it's a case to case basis depending on your medical condition. The best and most proven food supplement out there is Omega 3-fish oil for heart disease. Ginseng and melatonin may have health benefits too but more data are still needed. According to Herbalife, be careful what you read and believe.
