Most people in my opinion believe everything that they read or see on TV. They are not aware that the article that they are reading or the show that they are seeing on TV is not designed to give you personal medical advice. They are designed to sell a product.
People need to do tests like blood tests at a pathology before and after taking these supplements in order to see if in fact they actually need them in the first place and whether they are doing anything to help at all.
I believe that most people do not need supplements as they can get the nutrients, vitamins and minerals from eating properly. Most people take supplements out of laziness to prepare and eat proper meals or because they do not like the taste of healthy foods. The only supplement that I ever take is a plant based B12 supplement. This is because it is hard to get enough B12 these days in foods.
