The dietary supplement industry is huge! And by huge we’re talking tens of billions of dollars in annual sales. Some of the most popular dietary supplements are fish oil, protein powders, probiotics, vitamin D, antioxidants and the ever popular multi-vitamin mineral supplement. Thing is, not all vitamins/dietary supplements are created equal. Watch Dr. Chad Larson get into what makes a good multivitamin mineral supplement and also what you want to avoid.
This may come as a shocker, but not all multi vitamins are created equally. In my opinion, the junk that you can purchase in most places like grocery stores, drug stores, and warehouse-type stores is not helpful for your health and may even be a little harmful. Most of those products are manufactured by mystery companies or pharmaceutical companies that News Flash! care more about profit margins than your health. DR. CHAD LARSON
