Doctor reveals the only three supplements you really need for your health

Which supplements should you be using? Dr Amir Khan shares what is essential and what you can miss.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain on Friday (10 July), ITV’s resident doctor warned viewers that improper usage of supplements can result in potential harm, reminding people that they are “not there to replace your diet”.

“Most people in the UK who have a healthy, balanced diet... they don't really need these supplements, and that's the key thing.”

Dr Khan said he only believes that three supplements - vitamin D, creatine, and iron - are useful for helping obtain your essential vitamins and other nutrients.
