I have been told that taking a dietary supplement might improve my overall health? Is this true?

There are many dietary supplements for sale.  Many contain vitamins and minerals to supplement the amounts of nutrients we get from foods.  While some dietary supplements have benefits that have been documented, others may make false or misleading claims about their health benefits.  To learn more about them, visit the website: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/nutrition/supplements/
