Download audio (MP3)

For some, taking a multivitamin is as much a routine as combing one's hair or brushing one's teeth. But are these pills effective or even necessary? Are they really the foundation of a healthy diet or just another gimmick? This hour on Forum we talk vitamins.

Host: Dave Iverson

Guests:

  • Bruce Ames, professor emeritus of biochemistry at UC Berkeley
  • Candy Tsourounis, professor of Clinical Pharmacy at UCSF, School of Pharmacy
  • Leah Vachani, nutrition consultant at Elephant Pharm
