I once watched one of his shows where the whole show was about vitamins that would dramatically improve your health.
I looked each vitamin up online and they were useless.

I 'googled' him and i found this:

The James Randi Educational Foundation has awarded Oz with their Pigasus Award, an award intended "to expose parapsychological, paranormal or psychic frauds that Randi has noted over the previous year."

The award consists of a silver flying pig and refers to claiming something so doubtful that it will only happen "when pigs fly".

Oz has been given this award on three separate occasions, more than any other recipient.

(Believe what you want, but Dr Oz is not a good source)
