        Perfect summary! Just extraordinary how much they are promoted despite really limited evidence. & harms in some cases... 🤔

        Thanks 🙂 I was thinking about going into the harms, but honestly I think the lack of benefit speaks for itself!

        as part of the VITAL, I get to be part of the science showing pills don't work-pretty sure that's what will result, like all pills.

        ...except that in my case the vitamin D suppliment I take does work, as proven by blood test I recently had. Getting outdoors was not enough

        Having said that, it took a bit of searching to find a vitamin D suppliment in the UK with the right levels for me. Majority are too low.

        Yeh my argument is more about the "supplements as panacea" marketing; there's certainly benefits for some indications
