What Vitamania: The Sense and Nonsense of Vitamins Is About

Sonya Pemberton's 2018 documentary takes vitamins from both the scientific and the commercial side. Derek Muller presents, following how vitamins were discovered, what deficiency actually does, and how the supplement industry grew as large as it has. The distinction the film draws is clear: treating a deficiency and healthy people taking pills are not the same thing. The documentary says the first has strong evidence behind it and the second does not. It does not reject the supplement business outright, but it works to show the distance between the marketing and the evidence. Made by a presenter who popularises science, and it is easy to follow.
