Vitamin B Supplements?
Vitamin B supplements* are frequently taken orally or even injected, but unless we are deficient in these vitamins, which the vast majority of us are not, they have no effect; B vitamins are abundant in the foods that we consume as well. People frequently cite a boost of energy when this supplement is consumed but this is nothing more than the placebo effect. Eat better and skip the supplements…
