Vitamins and Supplements: Science or Placebo?
Welcome back to the Information Entropy Podcast, this week we ask: Are supplements actually doing anything — or are we just very expensive placebo machines?
We dig into vitamins, minerals, and the booming world of supplements. We break down what vitamins actually are, how they were discovered (and why some mysteriously skipped letters), whether taking certain supplements together really improves absorption, and what the science says about popular calm, sleep, and focus aids — from magnesium to mushroom extracts.
