If there's no crying need for a remedy, I tend to pass up all suggested remedies. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," eh?

Supplements are very poorly regulated (in the US). I'd be uneasy about just what I was taking if I took them.

Also, they can be really costly.

I do take a multivitamin (Centrum Silver) and extra vitamin D3 (5,000IU daily) because the doctor recommended them.
