The Most Useless Vitamin Supplements for Health: A Waste of Money

When it comes to buying vitamins, a reasonable person understands that this is not an expense, but an investment in oneself.

That's why few people skimp on vegetables and fruits in the store or vitamin complexes in pharmacies.

It is important to understand that not all pharmaceutical developments are beneficial to health. Individual supplements have the same effect as poultices for the dead.

British pharmacists have compiled a list of completely useless vitamin preparations.

Useless vitamins

1. It turns out that the widely used multivitamin complexes are completely useless.

Manufacturers are being disingenuous when they promise to solve several problems at once, for example, to prevent the development of cardiovascular diseases.

The doses of useful substances in complex supplements are extremely small and are not calculated for the needs of a specific person.

2. The same applies to vitamin lozenges, which are in demand among the population in the autumn-winter period.

But they can cause harm to the body due to the sugar or other sweeteners they contain.

3. Vitamins for healthy nails, skin and hair deserve special attention.

They are often presented as specialized drugs that are not cheap.

But in reality they do not contain a full range of useful substances.

It is impossible to solve the problem with nails, hair or skin in a complex way. It is recommended to take the drugs separately.

Only specialized supplements can contain the full range of vitamins and nutrients that the body lacks.

For reference

Vitamins are a group of organic compounds of diverse chemical nature, united by the feature of their absolute necessity for a heterotrophic organism as a component of food.
