You should read Ben Goldacre's book 'Bad Science', at best they do no harm, at worst they can increase the risk of Cancer and increase the mortality rate for cancer (the latter is for anti-oxidant supplements). Yet every man and hos dog still peddle them as good for you..

+1 to footflaps

With a healthy balanced diet, you're wasting your money.
Probably even on an 'unhealthy' diet you're still wasting your money.

I don't benefit from the supplements you take, no.

(more seriously, +1 to the Ben Goldacre recommendation. His [url= http://www.badscience.net ]website[/url] is a good start.)
