Many people with multiple sclerosis (MS) use complementary health
approaches to help reduce relapses or relieve symptoms, such as pain,
muscle spasticity, fatigue, cognition and depression. Some mind and body
practices, such as yoga, may help ease some symptoms of MS, but there
is currently no definitive evidence to suggest that any dietary
supplement is effective to reduce relapses or symptoms of MS. Read more at https://nccih.nih.gov/health/providers/digest.

We co-hosted a December Twitter chat with the Office of Dietary
Supplements (ODS) on vitamins and other dietary supplements. The chat
was moderated by chief health and medical editor Dr.
Richard Besser of ABC News. During the discussion, we took
questions on what the research says about the safety and usefulness of vitamins
and other dietary supplements to manage various symptoms and conditions.
