If I don't take magnesium, I'll get cramps. While a lot of supplements are superfluous, I think you're overgeneralising.
You may have a specific deficiency, but your story does not constitute data.
There have been many studies that have addressed this specific issue. Literally billions of dollars are wasted every year on these supplements. If you have a healthy diet, you are very unlikely to need supplementation.
This is the availability bias, because your experience is normal for you, you unconsciously think your experience is more normal than it is.
Laughs at your healthy diet. Like Cheetos for vitamin C and vitamin A comes from Applebee's? God favorite fruit!
Cheetos are orange and everyone knows orange has Vitamin C!
And an Applebees a day keeps the doctor away!
