A word on supplements: There’s a lot of hype about supplements. Heck, there are whole stores that sell nothing but. But do they work?
Yes.
And no.
Some supplements have sound science to back them up. And some are merely snake oil. Here’s an article from the Consumerist that links to this handy guide to figuring out which supplements are helpful and which to save your money on. If the interactive version is too much for your computer to handle you can check out this simple, static graphic instead. You may have noticed I dropped a supplement from my morning routine {Vit C}. I had already had my doubts about it, and checking out the guide confirmed my suspicions that it was probably not evidence-based medicine. Live and learn.
