Starting supplements

Is there any age when one should start supplements?

My advice to all my patients is NEVER. The more I read about supplements, the more I am against them. Every week there are reports of fakes, counterfeits and dangerous chemicals found in these products. Having worked as a surgeon in many Oriental and African countries, I can tell you that most supplements are fakes. Stick to fresh foods, vegetables and fruits-you can’t go wrong. Why people want to eat cardboard pills with unknown chemicals is hard to understand.
