multi - vitamin

[PA DETAILER]

Just curious how many members use a one daily multi vitamin. Years back i used GNC Mega men. But with the advent of hypertension, doc suggested i drop it, and just go with a normal daily multi vitamin. I currently use rite aid one daily. Really grey area. Some swear by them, others see them as a waste.

Fish oil seem to be one of the few supplements people positivity agree on. I noticed my skin isn`t as dry any more.

Once a day Gummies only problem is I like them want eat more so once while they are twice day morning and night.

I take a multi vitamin everyday. I figure at a minimum it`s helping me get some of the things needed that I might be missing with my meals.

Vitamin D is essential too. Not enough in the multi vitamins though. But I am sure a lot of us spend more time outdoors than most people nowadays.

I drink a glass of chocolate milk every morning. No need for vitamins

MV:

Doesn`t help.

Doesn`t hurt.

No testing is done of dissolution & bioavailability as MV products are OTC and kinetic testing isn`t mandatory. Vitamin absorption is complex since the body was designed to absorb vitamins from food - cofactors can be required that are not in vitamins but are in food.

There is "not enough to make a difference" of vitamins and minerals people are commonly lacking (iron, magnesium, calcium, cholecalciferol, etc..) to make up for a deficiency.

Multi vitamins are loaded with B vitamins and vitamin C - American`s diets are generally not lacking in these nutrients.

You`d be better off just eating more vegetables and fruits.

My family doc, otherwise known as my wife got on my case about taking one, now I take one every morning

Used to. They run out & I forget to buy them. Need to start on some type of vitamins tho.

I take a Multi-Vitamin made by New Chapter, called Every Man. High quality, but not cheap.

I take Gaspari nutrition "Anavite". It will always help imho.

Most doctors are just going to tell you they don`t recommend using it because It isn`t FDA approved. Personally, I say take it. Especially if you don`t a lot of raw fruit & veggies your body needs it.

I`ve been taking multi vitamins for better half of my life and besides dementia...

It is more peace of mind than anything.
