Dulcinea's Insight
- Nutrition experts urge people to get their nutrients from whole foods rather than supplements as much as possible. This is because whole foods often contain other beneficial substances that typically aren't found in a vitamin pill.
- Be wary of companies that sell supplements solely via the Web. This is especially important as the manufacture of dietary supplements is not as well regulated as that of prescription or over-the-counter medications.
- The more established and reputable the company is, the more likely the supplement it sells is safe and effective.
