This may vary with the doses taken. This is why I don't recommend really high doses except for B12 which is very critical and needs it when people are low.
By keeping doses in the average range, one can avoid "dependency" issues if they are going to manifest.
It is a fine line for each person, because we don't have the technology to monitor people on supplements well. That line may vary in location depending on the person.
There is also a placebo factor which may be at work. But I find that it is most likely in those who have very fast responses to supplements, which typically take a longer time to show benefits. Taking a supplement and getting results in a few hours, suggests to me a placebo effect in the beginning. Most supplements are correcting a long standing difficulty, involving many enzymes and chemical reactions, and those typically take some time to correct themselves.

Ithink you hit the nail on the head with the lack monitoring available or biofeedback ,Im pretty sure this is where we're headed with all these appliances for things like the iphone or ipad ( i dont acutally own one ) but it seems like theres potential there for some sort of self monitoring not possible on contious basis from just taking one or two scans .
AS the hellth service here looks like it s going down the swany along with everything else , I wouldnt be suprised if company like apple or someone else exploited this in some way for the growing ratio of retired , or prematurely retired people like me.
It seems even without apple some people are already trying to do this with from
EEGs from scratch.
