I take supplements to make sure I get enough essential nutrients and to maintain or improve my health. But not everyone needs to take supplements. It's possible to get all of the nutrients you need by eating a variety of heathy foods, so you don't have to take one. Some supplements mat have side effects, especially if taken before surgery or with other medicines. Supplements can also cause problems if you have certain health conditions. So speak to your health care providers what might be best for you to take.
