Common questions, answered by evidence
Do I need a multivitamin?
For most people eating a varied diet, large trials have not shown clear benefit from routine multivitamins. Targeted supplementation for an identified deficiency is a different and better-supported case.
Are supplements regulated like medicines?
No. In most countries they face far lighter oversight, and products are not required to prove efficacy before sale. This is why third-party testing and standardised extracts matter.
Can you take too much of a vitamin?
Yes. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) accumulate in the body and can reach harmful levels. More is not better, and megadoses carry real risk.
Should I get tested before supplementing?
Where possible, yes — particularly for vitamin D, B12 and iron. Testing turns guesswork into a decision based on your actual status.
