...a lot is not necessarily better.And can, in fact, be harmful.
There is no area of pseudonutrition that has been exploited more shamelessly and potentially harmfully than "supplements". There are specific deficiency syndromes for each known vitamin (which serve as co-factors to metabolic processes and must be obtained from the diet) and also potentially fatal "overdose" syndromes for the fat solubles (A,D,K,E). Megadoses of water solubles (Bs, C) have never been shown to be therapeutic, either. There is no substitute for a rationally balanced diet. Our problem is not LACK of vitamins, it is TOO MANY CALORIES.
And vitamins DO NOT cause weight loss, either!
