"  We should know by now not to take nutritional or medical advice from celebs, what with all the fasting, crazy juice cleanses, and downright bizarre youth-reviving treatments going on in Hollywood. But we were nonetheless startled and intrigued by the pic our gal Katy Perry tweeted of the supplements she takes (what seems like) daily. Like, WTF, KP? Have some vitamins with your vitamins why don&amp;#039;t you?  To find out the deal with this seemingly crazy regimen, we chatted with renowned nutritionist Jonny Bowden, PhD, who says that, actually, taking tons of pills like these on the reg might not be outright harmful.  &amp;quot;You have to figure that, when it comes to health, there are those who don&amp;#039;t give a crap, eat nine meals a day at McDonald&amp;#039;s, never exercise, and smoke,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;Then there are those who work out religiously, get eight hours of sleep, meditate, take care of their spirit, eat organic and clean, and take 70 zillion vitamins. And there&amp;#039;s everyone in between.&amp;quot;  To him, Katy is clearly on one end of the extreme, however, &amp;quot;These could all be perfectly good, reasonable doses of many, many different nutrients. Is it a little weird? Sure. Is it overkill? Probably.&amp;quot;  Nutritionist JJ Virgin, author of the New York Times best-seller The Virgin Diet suggests taking a good multi-vitamin, fish oil, and some extra vitamin D. &amp;quot;A good probiotic wouldn&amp;#039;t hurt either,&amp;quot; she says, but she emphasizes the importance of talking with a doc before Katy Perry-ing it up with your supplements. Figuring out what to take, how much, and if anything interacts in unseemly ways are calculations best left to a pro,  Want more from Natasha? Follow her on Twitter or find her on Facebook.
