That's what this show is all about. Welcome to Vibe. And here's your host, Robin Openshaw.

Hey everyone, it's Robin OpenShaw. Welcome to the Vibe Show. It's been a little while. Sorry, I took a little bit of a break.

I have been working on my book, Take Daily, How Supplements Hijack Our Health. And today I want to talk about the secret marriage of big pharma and big supplement.

and it's laughing all the way to the bank. So let's talk about where multivitamins really came from.

Your vitamins weren't dreamed up by a kind herbalist in a cottage. They were formulated in a factory,

in a lab. The first multivitamin, metagen, launched in 1920.
