Vitamins and other supplements can help fill in the gaps in your diet to help you feel your best, especially vitamin D which people naturally get from the sun.

An annual report called the “Over-the-Counter Guide” lists the top products pharmacists recommend.  Here are this year’s top picks for 10 different ailments, or other things you might have to deal with:
