Everything I Know About

Supplements


Listen Later

So we know supplements have questionable science and little regulation, but what about something as common as protein powder? Join us as we investigate claims that roots and pills can invigorate libidos, kick coffee habits or even prevent hangovers. We discover surprising facts, and even find a product that convinces Lucy, our skeptic.


Topics covered:

-The science behind the most common vitamin and mineral supplements Americans take: multivitamins, calcium, and fish oil
-Why we add vitamins to food products
-Do scientists agree on what levels of vitamins we need for ideal health?
-The surprising science behind protein powder, and should you be taking it daily?
-Influencer promoted supplements: Athletic Greens (AG1) and libido gummies
-Herbs and roots in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine, adaptogens and coffee alternatives
-A supplement to rid us of hangovers
-The placebo effect
