That's about it, Rich. I can see that if someone has a really restricted diet - like cutting for a contest - they could have a role. But apart from that, I think that the evidence is mounting up against them.

There's been a lot of research interest in whether they help athletes, and the news isn't good. Sports scientists in quite a few different countries are finding the same result: they don't help athletic performance, and they may hinder it.

I took multis and anti-oxidants for 20+ years, but I've been forced to re-think my view on them. My honest view, based on a fair bit of research, is that at the least I wasted a load of cash for no benefit.
