For what use?: This one can't really be answered well without knowing what's going on with you, or what you hope to gain. Some dietary supplements are very safe and effective for certain conditions, and some are not. I'm sorry that i can't be more helpful, but your question is too broad for me.

Some are;others?: Some dietary supplements like omega3, odourless garlic, coq10, vitamins and few others are safe and may be effective in certain circumstances.But there are others which are marketed as fat burners, weight loss products and for cosmetic enhancers and others have no proven and scientific reason to be taken.One should consult their healthcare provider before taking any supplement.
