        ARBs aren’t supplements nor should they be bought w/o an rx off the shelf. There is strong evidence for benefits in heart failure, renal disease, BP reduction, post MI etc for ARBs by rx under the care of a physician. Generic ARBs are also much cheaper. $4 at Walmart

        Americans also spent at least $500 billion on junk food, sodas, snacks, tobacco etc last year & another $500 billion on pharmaceuticals & probably at least $150 billion on illegal drugs, killing directly or indirectly several hundred thousands. How many died from #supplements?

        The big picture point is that supplements are not a big health problem. And compared to all the things that really destroy peoples health they aren’t really marketed at all. And you could include most pharmaceuticals in the health destroying category. https://mobile.twitter.com/PGtzsche1/status/1189437698328715265 …

        Curious what you think about our prenatal! We show our work and link to the research behind it: https://natalist.com/products/prenatal-multi-omega-dha-duo …

        Prenatal is an exception w/ data supporting folate, mutlivitamins. Your site recommends Omega-3 pills, but I don't see that supported by @acog's statement cited https://www.acog.org/Patients/FAQs/Nutrition-During-Pregnancy?IsMobileSet=false … or anything for "high-quality bioidentical ingredients..." as sold at Natalist.pic.twitter.com/4kJ6b1wo5t

        Agree. Supplements are like scratch tickets. Expensive, you don’t know what you get, and you will likely not reap any benefits.

        Would you extend that recommendation to Vitamin D supplements for people living in extreme latitudes?

        Doesn't that count as vitamin D deficient, which is basically treating a medical condition rather than "supplementing" where there is no need? With respect, you cannot extend an extreme case (see what I did there?) to a general case and have the argument hold.
