The only good supplements
As Harvard Health Publishing clearly states:
Despite their iconic status, there is no evidence that multivitamins enhance health and well-being or prevent illness. … Supplements for prevention? It's a disappointing scorecard.
In an area filled with snake oil, I require a higher threshold for belief. I need to understand how something works. The same article summarizes:
Most people stand to benefit from vitamin D, many from fiber, and some from fish oil.
so I take vitamin D and fiber supplements.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D helps you absorb calcium for healthy bones. To produce vitamin D naturally, we need sun exposure. However, since I work in an office and wear sunscreen, and I don't often eat the important sources of vitamin D, I take the supplement.
Fiber
On top of promoting “regularity” (lol), fiber reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. I should eat more whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds; I'm trying! Until then, I take psyllium husk fiber in pill form.
