Today, we’re talking about supplements.

We’ve all seen them; the multivitamins, the fortified foods, the neatly packaged powders promising improved energy, immunity and longevity.

Supplements boast bold claims, however, it’s hard to know if they’re genuinely helpful or just well-marketed.

Professor Tim Spector and Professor Sarah Berry join me to unpack why supplements exist, what the science really says about their benefits and risks, and how to decide if supplements deserve a place in your daily routine.
