Experts Warn Against Popular Supplements: Hidden Health Risks Revealed
Dr. A, a UK-based GP on TikTok, advises against taking multivitamins, citing studies that suggest they may increase mortality rates. He argues that multivitamins often contain more than 100% of the recommended daily allowances for vitamins and minerals, which can be dangerous, particularly for fat-soluble vitamins like A and K. Instead, he recommends obtaining necessary vitamins from a balanced diet and taking supplements only for specific needs. The NHS also advises that adults can typically meet their vitamin needs through diet alone.
