Think all vitamins are harmless? Think again. In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Joel Fuhrman and Jenna pull back the curtain on the supplement industry — from hidden fillers, dyes and contaminants to the very real harms of common synthetic ingredients. If you buy multivitamins at Target, Costco, or Walmart, press pause and listen.

What you’ll learn:

Why folic acid (not the folate in greens) can be dangerous and why Dr. Fuhrman avoids it in his prenatal formula.
Which supplements are worth considering (zinc, B12, iodine, DHA/EPA) — and when testing matters.
The problems with rancid fish/algae oils, fake labels, and colorful dyes that don’t belong in your body.
How isolated nutrient pills can behave differently than food-based nutrients — and when a supplement is actually a medicine (and a toxin).
Practical, science-forward advice on where to spend your health budget and how to be your own health advocate.

Whether you’re a supplement skeptic or a lifelong pill-popper, this episode gives you the evidence-based roadmap to safer choices and smarter nutrition.
