Food Supplements pros and cons - vegetarian lifestyle recipe book

There is no evidence that any food supplement can produce better health than the diet based on a wide range of natural ingredients. If you are following this diet and are deficient in any area, then check the minerals and vitamins list for foods that are particularly high in that nutrient. If you do need supplements, you should only be taking them under proper medical supervision.

Many food supplements are dangerous if the recommended dose is exceeded, and are particularly dangerous for small children.
