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.
