Poles set diet supplement record

The consumption of over-the-counter medication  has increased drastically in Poland. Poles have bought a record amount of dietary supplements. In the first half of 2015 they spent PLN 1,54 billion on 94 million packs. This is up by 10 million when compared to last year and 22 million more than in first half of 2012. According to experts, supplements are products which can cause harm when overused.  Most doctors emphasize that such supplements do not bring any benefits but are rather harmful. Therefore buying them is akin to throwing away money.
