most people take supplements completely wrong

Supplements are a billion-dollar industry. Fish oil, vitamin D, magnesium, zinc… But here’s the twist: a huge percentage of people take them wrong, which makes them useless — or even harmful. Common mistakes: Empty stomach. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) need fat to absorb. Taking them with black coffee in the morning? You’re just making expensive pee. Mixing wrong supplements. Calcium and magnesium compete for absorption. Taking them together cancels each other out. Overdosing. “More is better” thinking is dangerous. Too much vitamin D can harm kidneys, too much zinc can weaken your immune system. How to fix it: Take fat-soluble vitamins with a meal that has healthy fats. Space out competing minerals. Get tested — don’t supplement blindly. Your body may not need what Instagram tells you. The industry won’t tell you this, because confusion = profit. But real health comes from knowing what your body actually needs. #SupplementTruths #BodyHacks #HealthHacks
