vitamins too much of a good thing graded discussion 300 words

1) Were you aware that some vitamins could be toxic in high amounts before taking this class? If not, was it surprising to learn this?

2) Think about how supplements are marketed. Are the potential risks of high-dose vitamins explained clearly enough to consumers? Do you think the “hype” for supplements masks the potential for risk?

3) Consider the points made by the article from Business Insider. The authors advise specifically to avoid workout boosters and weight loss formulations–supplements that are frequently taken by athletes and individuals who are interested in fitness. Do you agree with these recommendations? Has this caused you to rethink your use of a pre-workout supplement (if you use one)?

4) What responsibility do you think the supplement industry has to individuals who have been harmed by supplements? Or, is this a situation where the responsibility should rest on the consumer?
