The supplement industry has a nice racket going. Eat crap, take a multivitamin, and it all balances out, right? Bioavailability of vitamin tablets is generally pretty low, and you should eat a balanced diet anyway for your health.
I take melatonin to help me sleep sometimes, but everything else strikes me as snake oil and miracle cures.

If you take much more than you need, your body doesn't use it and it gives you the shits.
