But how do you know you have a deficiency in those supplements without tests?
C is fine, the body soon lets you know if you are taking too much of that!
But the body retains what it cannot absorb of most other supplements, and that is when they become a problem, and not a benefit.
Overloads of some attack vital organs like kidneys, liver etc.
A balanced diet should take care of most peoples needs regarding vitamin intake.
I cannot understand why people need to supplement, if they have not had a relevant test to find out they have a need.
