Unfortunately, their use is often inspired by rumor rather than sound medical advice. The results of clinical research on these supplements' effectiveness are often inconclusive while some studies have even shown negative health effects from overuse. Instead of relying on media hype and often-conflicting \"word-of-mouth\" information, people who take nutritional supplements need an authoritative, evidence-based reference text about self-medication with vitamins and minerals.
