I was a big supplement user in my 40’s and cut way back when my GP explained to me that I was getting what I needed from my diet already. I never thought about the potential interference from taking supplements in blood test accuracy… thank you for the illuminating post!

Great information. Thank you. It always amazes me when I walk through a store and see the quantity of various vitamin supplements.

Thank you for keeping us informed. I worked as a nurse for 47 years and was dismayed at how many supplements my patients were taking. These patients could not always afford good nutrition— fruits and vegetables and yet would buy supplements!! Anyway, I am always skeptical about supplements since the FDA regulation is nonexistent.
