"work"?

Can you explain how they work?

I'll repeat my question because you have not answered how? I'm looking for a physiological mechanism for this.

Strange that in your quote there is no mention of strengthening or improving. In afraid that you have fallen for the marketing hype and misunderstood the science.

Vitamin supplements won't make you into a superman. At the very best they will maintain your health. Most of them are however just expensive placebos that if you are not careful about the dosage could actually be doing you harm.

Here's something for
Vitamin Supplement Value - Team Denial




Vitamania
| Premieres Sunday August 12, 8.30pm on SBS


Dr Derek Muller takes us on an epic journey to uncover why scientists disagree on the effectiveness and safety of vitamins and supplements.

https://www.sbs.com.au/programs/vitamania

I'm hoping Dr Muller can keep an open mind, on this
But I know this is not usually the modus operandi of celebrity scientists and doctors, trying to lift their profiles
As informative as TV's Dr Michael Mosley's documentaries are on obesity and diet - he's not TOTALLY without 'know it all' bias

Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and is crucial to building healthy bones. So crucial, in fact, that scientists think lighter skin tones are an adaptation for producing more vitamin D in less-sunny climates. Skin low in the pigment melanin can produce more vitamin D from less sun exposure than darker skin.

When i was sick my vit D level got down to something ridiculous like 21% and i was allergic to the supplements that are made with soy oil. So I ate a small can of tuna every day for a few weeks and voila! no more deficiency. Seems the supplements werent even needed for a deficiency

Tuna is one of the worst foods you can eat due to heavy metal contamination. Explains a lot though, one of the signs of mercury poisoning is cognitive decline.

Do you disagree or something? Why the attempt at an insult?
