Awesome I did know a lot of this from reading but getting it straight from such knowledgeable sources makes such a difference, especially as people I know ask me quite a few science based questions, I'm glad I haven't given them bad advice! Comment from : Michael Muir

The problem iswho funded the studies Drug companies want you sick unless you take their drugs Comment from : SMART-voterorg

Had scary neuropathy & fibromyalgia after tick Borrelia exposure Legs & arms became weak, heavy & achy for many months Out of desperation to get better, I spent lots of money on megadoses of vitamins & supplements A year later, my serum creatinine flagged outside the normal range for the 1st time Scary to realize how my kidneys were damaged by all the pills I now use nutritional yeast for B vitamins, Brazil nuts for selenium, & eat primarily an organic plant based diet The only pills I regularly take are a probiotic, Vit D, coQ-10, & fish oil & on occasion resveratrol & an eye health supplement I feel its enough Comment from : Sandra P

Imagine having Sarah round your house and she tries to tell you that too much of a vitamin isn't good for you, and you're like "nah Sarah, think I know more about this than you" 😂 Comment from : Andrew Roberts

The way Americans pronounce 'vitamins' annoys me more than it should Comment from : Brett Charlton

I have autoimmune disease and twice over the years I have experimented with high dose vitamin C,and each time(over several months) I caught everything going Every cold flu or throat infection going round I caught it When I stopped taking it I stopped catching everything Comment from : P Heart

I’m confused because we all know that the oceans and the lakes are just dumping areas and I’ve heard enough scientist speak about the plastics that the fish and the other sea life creatures are consuming is plastics, are detrimental to our health, so how can we justify taking a fish oil supplement or eating seafood when we know those plastics are going directly in to our bodies because of what all of the sea life creatures have eaten? Comment from : Jane Schade

No declaration of conflict of interests? Who funded all the clinical trails? We know that big pharma funds public bodies that advise on health So how do we know this information is not contaminated by vested interests? brGet all guest, including presenters declaring conflict of interests Comment from : AJ Clark

I also would be curious to know that if we have evolved primarily as herbivores why have we inherited a necessity for vitamin b12? Vegetarians and vegans have no choice but to take vitamin B12 as a supplement have they? Comment from : Walter Taylor

With respect to the podcast on supplements there was no mention of turmeric / curcumin which is very difficult to get sufficient amounts of in even a highly spiced diet Would you recommend taking this as a supplement? Comment from : Walter Taylor

I get through a kilo of carrots a week Is this too much Comment from : Andrew Mainprice

Wow, pretty outdated research How does she not mention that vit D (first of all D3 not D2) should be taken with K2 to aid absorption in the bones, huge difference for bone health How does she not talk about the fact that we're way less outside than our ancestors?? We need vit D, all of us How does she not talk about the fact that nutrients are clearly reduced in modern produce due to soil deterioration? Unless you eat organic but even there The fact that iron deficiency runs rampid amongst menstruating women The fact that selenium and iodine are both often deficient in soils, hence our only sources of iodine are seafoods, that salt ain't enough Comment from : Mandi L

I love these Zoe webinars - as scientist in psychology, they are great and evidence based I tell all my clients about these Comment from : Wonky Wellbeing

Creatine monohydrate,? 🙏🏻👹 Comment from : Robert THOMPSON

Thanks very much for this information Can you help us identify a reputable producer of multivitamins? Comment from : Patty HK

People who take a lot of vitamins and supplements just end up having the world's most expensive urine And that's assuming the v & s's they take actually contain what they claim on the label which is probably only accurate about 2 of the time The entire industry hasn't changed much in 150 years when hucksters went town to town in a wagon selling tonics and patent medicines that reputedly could cure anything and everything Comment from : Chris Robbins

if you are vegetarian you should consider fish oil supplement? Man sometimes if your own recomandations are sitting well with your brain And btw the cringeness of pushing fish oil vs algae oil, which is literally the same but without toxics or rancid taste, is heavy There is more evidence for fish oil? Obviously it has been more researched, and yet, evidence is quite bad if you cant still recomend it generally Comment from : Josep aldosa

So much evidence mounting against her claims on Vitamin D here, a dose of 1000 IU is practically worthless And the general recommendations are way below what they should be, 10000 should not be considered a mega dose, but rather the minimum Comment from : Emil Klingberg

1, 000u of vitamin D in England in the winter what a joke, the thing is with Zoe it's all about one opinion Comment from : Ben Jane

I would like to hear about another reason for taking omega 3 oils Due to our society consuming such a large amount of omega 6 fats from refined vegetables oil, the ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 can be extremely high, Even 20:1 brOmega 3 from supplements or certain foods can improve that ratio, reducing inflammation In regard to reducing inflammation, plant based ALA works just fine Comment from : Charles Hagg

Checked my multi vitamin product Most ingredients are 100-300 RDA Why are there no pills with say 50 each ? Its supposed to be a supplement, not a replacementbrI eat healthy and do a lot of exercise and sweat a lot I think I could just use a supplement with water soluble stuff only Comment from : gerry secure

Thanks, you save me a lot of Money! I take many vitamins and now you basically tell me Multi Viamine, Vitamine D 2000 are more than enoughEating the right food will do the rest Comment from : Roland lickert

There is a huge credibility issue Medicine has become so anti-health, and the well-established doctor hate of vitamins is pervasive The harping here did not ease my distrust Doctors can find what they are looking forThey have lied so much in the field of nutrition I just don't trust the medical bastards any more And it was depressing to hear the discredited mantra of red meat and saturated fat How ^$#@! ridiculous The American medical industry has little to so with health, they are attitudinal and intentionally blinded experts and entranced deeply in dogma Comment from : Green Deane

Why did Johnathan omit Afroamericans from his summary on omega 3’s? Comment from : Paul Dewhirst

Funny how the word vitamins is pronounced differently outside of North America Comment from : Rebecca Gutierrez

Fantastic podcast, thanks I agree with JoAnne, Jonathan did an excellent summary! I'm stunned that there are over 90,000 supplements And the advertising is phenomenally persuasive Comment from : Jennifer Stewart

So, to sum up; no multi's while i'm young and healthy May start to take multi-vit & minerals after I am old and sick Did I get that correct??? Comment from : Charles DeVier

You lost me when you demonized saturated fats Comment from : Anne Collier

To be honest experimenting with vitamins lead me to so many mental health problems it was a bad bad idea Comment from : Jerzy Roginski Jr

Wish she would give an opinion of calcium carbonate,aka tums Comment from : Yvonne

No one is thinking or recognizing the fact that our soil is depleted of nutrients So tell me how balanced a diet is when the veggies are growing in soil that is depleted Comment from : Ann Fuller

Everyone recommends B12, but I seem to have a reaction to it It makes my already sensitive nerves even more painful I've taken every form imaginable Has anyone ever heard of that? My doctors don't have any idea Comment from : Jacqueline Golden

I can say Super for such informationThanks lot Comment from : Gopal Bhatia

Are there benefits to consuming mushroom supplements? Chaga, Lions Mane, Turkey Tail, Reishi? Comment from : Jim Couch

Viramin abd minerals but especially B vits ,Vit C The hundreds of thousands of metabolic pathways that rely on just these pivotal vitamins ,mega dosing is a specialist area Again research is probably 20 years behind times ,do thf research use latest forms methylated B vits ,etc we dl need extra supplements sorry all diets are deficient especially in these all manner of vitamins minerals co oenzymes ie CO Q10 Wrong type of vitamin E This is ridiculous you take vitamins to maintain optimal levels ,high methylated B complex will create clear headedness increase energy help ,etc add to good multi theanine ,co q10 pqq NAC glycine ,fat slluble vits yes have to more carefull with synthetic vit d is not good in summer etc use cholesterol pathway Comment from : Richard Price

Could you recommend a source that would give some guidance on vit d dosing based on skin tone? This is surely going to impact dosage drastically Comment from : Meek

QUESTION—when ‘you’ talk of dosages what level of dosages are we talking about and, especially, when are these taken? Daily? Weekly? Other? Excellent discussion and thank you! Comment from : James-L

Why do so many nutrition experts recommend consulting with your health care provider?, especially when these same people warn that most doctors have very little nutrition education or expertise? Comment from : Vive Viveka

I would be so interested to hear what you guys think/what the research says on Creatine? Comment from : Lucie Eleanor Stone

So there are so many different Vitamin Ds, what kind and is this a 1000 IU daily? Comment from : Faust Gorham

Don't take vitamins Every vitamin supplement has its risks Especially synthetic vitamin D Most vitamins are not tested/approved before released/sold on the market Usually they are only tested after someone gets sick or they get a complain Eat right (a lot of meat and veggies/fruits) and walk on the sun Problem prevented/solved Only take a vitamin if you have an issue and the doctor after a blood test recommends it right away So in an emergency Comment from : RealityCheck

so Omega 3 and vit brD are important correct? Comment from : andiamoci22

Adults over the age of 50 may benefit from "mega-doses" of vitamin B-12 according to the National Academy of Medicine I take a Centrum multivitamin for men over 50 three or four times a week, and B-12 is the only mega-dose vitamin in it Comment from : William C

Nature has seen to it that fair-skinned people in cold climates don't need supplemental vitamin D It's a fat-soluble vitamin and can accumulate (lurk) in the body wreaking havoc in those who don't need it Comment from : Mac Clift

It really wouldn't surprise me if vitamin/mineral supplements are one of the most important causes of cancer Comment from : Mac Clift

23:41 she almost said rhumetarditus lol Comment from : OpiatedBliss

31 mins DID she just say if ur vegetarian take a fish oil omega 3 ???? Comment from : Gabriel Sansar

Most do not have balanced diet Big assumption is not correct Comment from : S L

my kidneys nearly stopped after vitamin D was told to double the dose ended up with hyperparathyroidism im low i have lupus autoimmune never had vitamin d receptors give you calcium in bones Comment from : Tracy Smith

Red meat and sat fat are healthycant watch any more Comment from : Troy Hiscock

Mmm, thought red meat was healthy now same as butter, lard etc and fruits not healthy? What’s the point of this interview when she can’t recommend taking or not taking multi vitamins Comment from : Jemma James

The foods we eat are not very healthy, vitamins are a must Comment from : WalthamVlOGs

Another first class podcast Thank you Zoe Comment from : Martin Horton

A useful discussion about vitamin supplements and research However, as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and Registered Nurse, I was disappointed to hear half hearted promotion of breastfeeding, and factually incorrect advice suggesting breast milk may not contain enough vitamins There is a huge amount of evidence to show that breast milk has all essential vitamins (and other nutrients and immune factors- many not able to be reproduced in formula) Many vitamins are more easily absorbed through breast milk - for example, there is a lot more iron in formula because it is far more easily digested in breast milk The amounts of vitamins in breast milk is the perfect amount for a baby Breastfeeding parents and formula feeding parents, of course, need to eat a nutritional diet and supplement as advised, for their own optimal health Comment from : Julie Carden

I made all vegetables end up looking like my child's favourite sauce - tomato ketchup He had no idea He ate a fine range of veg Am I the only one who did this? Comment from : Claire Cadoux

I feel sure our individual ability to absorb vitamins/minerals differs enormously, so I don't understand how that would fit with standard recommended amounts for everyone Comment from : Julie Johnston

The off hand negative comments about red meat surprised me Lots of people have benefitted from the Keto diet, supported by many studies I have felt much healthier - mentally and physically since switching to a Keto themed approach - concentrated on meat/leafy greens and reduced carbs Haven't seen any real evidence against red meat Comment from : Rovert128

I use an app called cronometer to monitor my intake - easy to see lack and find a food to fill that gap Comment from : deadhead02

People need supplements because the soil is so depleted Restoring soil health, regenerative and sustainable agriculture, is what we need to focus on Comment from : Glücklicher Regenschirm

Wonderful information thanks team zoe Comment from : Sanjay

there are offers out there to correct eye problems with supplements that after listening to this important podcast will be dubious about ! Comment from : susy dyson

correct nutritious content fundamental even if living in a sunny area all year round i can for norm th his be aware vegans who think they eat well Comment from : susy dyson

People often turn to supplements when doctors have no answers for their ailments Comment from : gerafina li

One should assess one's own needs - and reevaluate periodically I'm 75 and don't have a big appetite - I can't eat a great variety of foods every day I take D3 with K2, and Cod Liver Oil, and some B Vitamins and EbrI live in a cloudy northern US city NO way I can get enough Sunlight most of the year!😊 Comment from : Suzanne Derringer

To long Comment from : Durwood Avery

Thank you - so informative and concise!brI’d be interested to hear the team’s views on taking supplements of zinc and Turmeric? Comment from : Elaine Piper

I was told that you need to take vit C with supplements to absorb their benefits otherwise Is that the case? Comment from : Amina Mangera

Research has shown cod liver oil stops the enzyme further destruction of cartilage in the knees Comment from : Amina Mangera

I was adviced by doctors to take zinc and vit D for my long Covid Comment from : Amina Mangera

I have been taking vitamin B 12 for over a year had yearly blood test and found out the my B 12 was so low I had to have B 12 injections Comment from : Maria Ostergaard

Great Podcast thanks At some point in the future it would be good to hear about the need (if any) for supplements in a vegan diet in addition to vitamin B12 Comment from : William Konarzewski

Over 50s should not routinely supplement iron, which many multi-vits contain Plant based diets low in red meat can lead to B12 deficiency Otherwise, great discussion Comment from : Phil Coates

Superb content via guests and good questioning The hits keep on coming in this show! Comment from : Ken Gaskins

This is subliminal big pharma The jury is in You don’t need any …you can have a test for vitamin D, so the comment that we should take vitamins D is again wrong if the test indicates that you are fine Dump vitamins and increase your consumption of foods with Vitamin D, and others She takes a multi vitamin but there is no evidence produced by her … none, that she needs it That’s very bad brBecause she recommends a multi vitamin , she supports big pharma many fools listen to her and go out and buy thembrNo mention of fat soluble which are not peed down the toilet, but build up in your bodybrRemember we all get trace benefits from most food, and your body is outstanding in absorbing what is requiredbrI’m so annoyed at these lousy comments, they are trash Comment from : Pragmatist

They should be preaching about less calcium and more magnesium, calcium build up is Not a Good thing… Comment from : Vikki Prevette

Apparently they don’t work, check your bloods , if your deficient in something , makes sense to take a supplement Comment from : Jacqueline Hillson

The selling point of companies that promote vitamins and mineral supplements is that our soils are depleted and modern watering practices yield vegetables and fruits that contain less nutrients than they should I do notice a big difference between the fruit and veg produced by my brother in law and that which you buy in supermarkets so it does seem possible My bro in law waters once a week and produces compost on an industrial scale and his produce is drier (eg pumpkin ) and more flavoursome Comment from : Jennifer Dyster

Some worthwhile information; thank you That said, Dr Manson condemned red meat while praising fructose-filled-fruit Fructose severely damages the liver and, except for the irregular consumption of a few blackberries, should be avoided Our ancestors ate red meat, and so should we Consuming red meat with any form of sugar - a dangerous toxin - is what causes Cardio Vascular Disease!! Comment from : misterbaleize

You've misspelled the good doctor's name in the headline It's Manson, not Mason Comment from : jonathan barnard

What about supplements for memory & osteoporosis? Should it be taken daily? Comment from : Shirley Chang

I am confused Many menopause specialists are recommending daily vitamins How much should I take? Comment from : Rekha Neilson Option Process Mentor - Enabling change Empowering you

Do you have a video on nmn and resveratrol? Comment from : mp

I’d be curious to know what multivitamins on the market are worth looking at I’ve done a lot of research on this topic and have not found one I’m confident in They all seem to contain vitamin E and/or have larger amounts of vitamins than necessary One of the more basic multivitamins I was able to find only has one multivitamin that is third party tested and again, has vitamin E I’ve also read that a lot of fish oil is rancid in supplements and that can pose its own risks Thank you for the video! Comment from : Lauren

Certain vitamins are crucial! Not everyone can eat healthy everyday, with the cost of food! Everyone has a different answer or opinion to that question… Comment from : Joanne Mosher

These podcasts are by far the most informative and educational I’ve watched to improve my overall knowledge on nutrition I feel equipped to make changes based on current evidence to be a healthier family Comment from : Si0054

Great thankfull information, from Larry New Zealand Comment from : Gail Peek

The most current research I hear about says NOT to take calcium Research is also saying K2 is beneficial for people with heart disease and that it causes calcium to move from soft tissues to bones so it helps prevent osteopenia What is your opinion? Comment from : Kathy Gann

I heard on a surgeons site one of his patients took 20000vit D3 with K2 and after 5 months she was cured of heart disease, what do you think? Is it safe? Comment from : Danni

African Americans absorb less rays due to their melanin, which causes low vitamin D This video prompts me to ask this question: While the vitamin D study involved many people, it is known that significant numbers of people are low I tested frighteningly low in D People such as I should be encouraged to dose at 5,000 per day as my physician advises If a person is tested before and after supplementing, it hardly seems like mega dosing Another point that came to mind, most holistic docs recommend D plus K2, since the K2 regulates blood clotting and also ensures calcium uptakes in the bone rather than blood vessels Comment from : Laurie

Could have been interesting to see how veggie and vegan people fit in Comment from : Abi Davies

Who pays for the studies? Comment from : wb987
