Vitamin D Supplements Overrated
- Vitamin D supplements generally offer no benefit for most people without severe deficiency.
- Correlations exist but causation is lacking, per trials and genetic epidemiology studies.
Vegans Need Specific Supplements
- Vegans face many nutrient deficiencies like omega-3, vitamin B, and creatine.
- Supplement with creatine and other amino acids to support muscle and cognitive health.
Cholesterol Causes Heart Disease
