Source: Indian creator Food Pharmer (Revant Himatsingka), working with the Trustified collective, sorts 15 popular supplements into Buy / Skip / Optional. His core thesis — most people need fewer supplements than they think — lines up with two independent syntheses: the BMJ's 2020 systematic review of vitamins and minerals, and the US Preventive Services Task Force position (2022, 84 trials, over 739,000 participants), both concluding no clinically measurable benefit shows up in well-fed adults without an identified shortfall. A cross-sectional survey (BMJ Open, 2020, over 21,000 US adults) goes further: multivitamin users report better health without being clinically healthier on measured markers. The general principle — audit before buying, target a real gap rather than a promise — holds up well. The item-by-item ranking itself couldn't be verified since the available post doesn't include that detail. Direction: associational for most of the underlying data, not causal.
