What's your opinion?

1. One tablet and everything is OK again.
2. Yuck! I hate this artificial crap! Nature gives us all we need.

There aren't many topics where opinions differ as much as with dietary supplements. Sometimes these controversies are intentionally (mis)used to recruit fanatic followers for certain products - be it dietary supplements or products supporting sporting achievements. Many of these products are sold through a direct distribution network, where the sales person only makes money, if he sells this product. This way you'll certainly not get any objective advice...

But many doctors, dietary assistants, and nutrition experts recommend or prescribe additional supply with vitamins and mineral nutrients. Robert C. Atkins himself - he developed the well known Atkins diet -  explicitly pointed out, that customized dietary supplements are very important. 

And there are diets which in combination with special supplements can help and accelerate weight loss.
