Supplements are a billion-dollar industry—$152 billion in 2021, to be exact. The range of different products on the market seems endless, and they all claim to help improve your health in one way or another. Don't get me wrong; there are some supplements that can actually be worthwhile, especially for nutrients you have a hard time getting in your diet (like iron or vitamin D if you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet). But several are not worth the hype—or the money. Here I'll break down five supplements I'd recommend skipping as a registered dietitian.
A very easy read and reasonable list


Be careful out there

Based on the list, I think I'm good.

I mostly only take supplements that my doctor has suggested.

They don't really signal out any specific supplements but mostly classes of supplements like "weight loss supplements", "caffeine supplements", "high dosage supplements", "supplements without third party certification" and "supplements that interfere with your medications."

Basically the article is clickbait.

So the title:

5 Supplements You Shouldn't Be Taking, According to a Dietitian

is not true.

You agree there is no such list of 5 supplements.
