Conned is the right word. If you are wasting money on vitamins or supplements, just stop it. Unless recommended by a doctor for a specific condition or deficiency, they are not doing you any good, and may be doing you harm.
Vitamins and supplements are a massive scam
From New Daily:
“The billions of dollars almost half of Australians are now spending on vitamin supplements may as well be flushed down the toilet, as experts warn there is little evidence they have any health benefits.
About 43 per cent of Australians are taking supplements, new research by Roy Morgan found – the most popular brands being Nature’s Own, Swisse, Blackmores, Berocca and Cenovis.
Some of the current trends include vitamin D, fish oil, vitamin C and multivitamins.
But nutritional epidemiology expert Dr Amanda Patterson, of the University of Newcastle, said consumers are being “ripped off”.
“We have very expensive urine,” she told The New Daily, a reference to supplements passing straight through the body.
The complementary medicine industry in Australia generated $4.7 billion in revenue in 2016 and it’s growing.”
