In this episode, we talk about supplements. We start off by explaining what supplements are and how they're regulated (1:23). Keep in mind that there are a lot of false claims floating around.

In regards to what health supplements we'd recommend, a fish oil (7:12) is at the top of our list followed by Vitamin D3 (13:33), then a multivitamin (20:37). With all of this talk around what's necessary, we wanted to explain whether or not it's possible to overdose on a supplement (18:13) and which supplements you want to be careful not to take too much of.

These next two recommendations are going to be geared towards vegan athletes (23:56) - Vitamin D12, which can have an effect on your mood, and iron since it is mainly found in meats. Lastly, we discuss the ever-growing popularity of green supplements (25:37) and whether they a necessity or not.

To wrap part one of this two part episode up, we talk about the placebo effect (28:53). What this means is that if there's no research backing a certain supplement but it made you feel better, that feeling was not an effect of the supplement itself.
