Vitamins & mineral supplements are different to prescription medicines & don't require specific medical supervision or doctor's advice when taking them.
This is because they fall in to a lower risk category with the TGA (Australia's regulatory body) & the only ingredients that can be included in dietary supplements, are those which have already been pre-approved by the TGA.
In saying that though, no product is without risk & it is definitely recommended that if someone has specific concerns or a prior medical history, then they should seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional.
