I make sense to spend money on buying healthy food. It does not make

Yet for some of us, they are quite helpful, if selected carefully and
used in a well studied, indicated way. And this is critical for someone
like me, who has frequent adverse reactions to rx meds, and rarely (but
occasionally) to supplements.

I have to eat extremely low carb right now, and very low calorie. This
means it's very difficult to get adequate nutrition from as wide a
variety and quantity of foods as I might like.

Supplements help me.

G'day G'day Susan,

When someone asks for a complex issue to be simplified, there is
always the risk of oversimplifying. Choosing vitamin and mineral
supplements is challenging. So many times the vitamins contained in
supplements do not have the right stereochemistry.

Best wishes,
