Social media influencers recommend them, gym trainers swear by them, and supermarket shelves are packed with colourful promises of “better immunity”, “more energy”, and “complete wellness”.But the body does not work like a storage locker where extra vitamins automatically turn into extra health.Doctors are increasingly warning that many people are taking supplements without understanding whether their body actually needs them. And when supplements are taken casually, the results are not always harmless.A growing number of studies now show that supplements can help in certain medical situations, but they are not magic pills for everyone.According to the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements, many supplements have benefits only when there is a proven deficiency or a specific medical need.
