That's the title of this article, and, for the most part, a question answered in the affirmative. Billion-Dollar Scam In a Bottle: Why Vitamins Could Be Useless?or Even Shorten Your Lifespan
Yesterday, for the first time ever, I bought a bottle of multi vitamins, thinking it would be a way to insure that I wasn't missing anything that could help me get older. I already do take B12 and D. Now I wonder if I can return the rest of the unused MV bottle.
Excpt for calcium, the article infers that unless your doctor suggests a specific supplement, you might be better off, not taking a multi vitamin. Possible overdose, and wallet lightener.
This is not a new theory... (useless vitamins), but hasn't been as much in the headlines lately.
Whaddya think?
