Multivitamins are thought to be great additions to your diet, but research shows the opposite may be true.

In fact, one study finds a multivitamin may increase the risk of mortality. Other data shows a multivitamin may have little to no effect on your health.

That said, there are instances when a multivitamin is healthy and beneficial. It can all be very confusing.

Dr. Neal Barnard joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to explain the pros and cons of multivitamins and supplements on The Exam Room Podcast.

Topics Discussed

- Warnings about multivitamins

- Multivitamin vs. unhealthy diet and lifestyle

- When a multivitamin can help

- Who should take a multivitamin

- Common nutrients missing in your diet

- And more

This episode was recorded at the National Health Association conference in Cleveland, Ohio.

Dr. Barnard is a multiple-time best-selling author whose latest work is The Power Foods Diet.
