Health and Fitness Tips - Vitamin supplements:

A well planned and nutritionally adequate diet should meet a person's entire vitamin and mineral needs. Taking vitamin or mineral supplements can only be of benefit if a person's diet is inadequate, or where a deficiency has been diagnosed, such as in the case of iron or calcium.

There is no evidence to suggest that mega-doses of vitamins can improve sporting performance. The indiscriminate use of vitamins and mineral supplements is potentially dangerous and they should not be taken without the advice of a qualified health professional.

Dietary imbalances should be rectified by analysing and altering the diet, rather than by using a supplement or pill.
