To hear some people tell it, dietary supplements are the be-all and end-all to what ails you, whether it's allergies or aging itself. Listen to others, and you'll hear that supplements - the whole lot of 'em - are an unproven, even dangerous sham. This feature winnows down the most promising (and least risky) supplements for six top health concerns: heart health, brain health, bone health, joint health, digestion, and mood. Available for reprint.
