In the 1980s the FDA attempted to criminalize vitamins, requiring prescriptions. At one point, they took hostage at gun point inside of health food stores. Arresting store owners and customers alike.
There was even a series of awareness commercials showing house raids on citizens for vitamin possession. The FDA did prosecute a number of store owners for practicing medicine without a license. Clearly announcing they understand vitamins are competition with their prescription model.
Current events has forced the FDA and CDC to admit vitamin supplements do work and are effective. Vitamins D (+sun light), C, Zinc (+magnesium) are essential for good health, and supplements can significantly boost your immune system.
