00:00Think supplements are always safe? Think again.
00:03Here are five ways they can hurt your health more than help it.
00:06First up, overdosing.
00:08Unlike food, supplements can flood your body with nutrients.
00:11Too much vitamin A? Liver damage.
00:14Excess iron? Organ failure.
00:16And too much calcium? Hello kidney stones.
00:19Second, unregulated ingredients.
00:21Some supplements contain harmful additives or even hidden drugs.
00:25You may not even know what you're really swallowing.
00:28Third, dangerous interactions.
00:30Supplements can clash with medications.
00:33Vitamin K, for example, can weaken blood thinners.
00:36That's not something you want to mess with.
00:38Fourth, false sense of security.
00:40People often pop pills and skip real food.
00:43But no supplement can replace the powerful combo of nutrients in whole foods.
00:48And fifth, ignoring expert advice.
00:50Taking the wrong dose or mixing the wrong products can backfire badly.
00:54Want to use supplements the right way?
00:56Talk to your doctor.
00:58Stick to safe dosages.
01:00And make real food your first choice.
01:02Because when it comes to your health, more isn't always better.
01:06People will say that.
01:08And the answer is that...
01:10That's what I said.
01:11Tell you what you're going to need.
01:12I'd put you in.
01:13Forget your doctor.
01:15That's not a problem.
01:16Check out.
01:17You guys are using the wrong department.
