Supplements are often synthetic versions of vitamins.
Although they are similar, they are not exactly the same. Despite how they are often market. They in isolation from all the other constituents in food. The majority of the time, they are based on synthesised materials and go through an amazing number of industrial processes before the pills get to you.

These warnings are generally in the area of the mega dosing, (pills that contain far more than the recommended daily amounts of vitamins and minerals), that supplements can give causing adverse reactions in our bodies.
