■ Supplements are largely unnecessary and have proven to be ineffective oversimplifications of what we observe in nature.

■ Multivitamins are not beneficial for any chronic diseases (with the exception of some specific formulations in people with macular degeneration). Do not take multivitamins.

■ Fish oil most recently has been shown to be ineffective for heart disease, stroke, and any other outcome. Do not take fish oil unless prescribed by your doctor, possibly for a very high triglyceride level.

■ Calcium supplements show inconsistent evidence of improving bone health (particularly preventing fractures). If you are otherwise healthy and living independently in the community, do not take calcium supplements, but do eat lots of whole-plant foods and exercise regularly.

■ Vitamin D can be a problem in areas far north or south of the equator. Take a supplement (1,000 to 2,000 IU) daily if you are at risk for deficiency.

■ All people, particularly breastfeeding or pregnant women, who limit animal-food consumption need to take a daily vitamin B12 supplement.
