Anybody take these? My mother swore by them... had me take one everyday growing up.

I haven't taken a single vitamin since I left for college. shrug.gif

    Unless your doctor tells you that you need some kind of supplement, I wouldn't bother.

    I take a multi and a bunch of others cuz I'm old and I need them.

    The secret is to take a good quality vitamin with no binders or fillers, Garden of Life is a good store buy.

    I take extra vitamin c in the cold season when I feel a cold might be coming up. I'm a smoker too... So far I didn't get anything. Everything else is hysteria I think. Eat more veggies and fruit, that should suffice :)
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue! http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/148993/please-pearl-jam-consider-a-vinyl-benaroya-hall-re-issue

    They do add up. But you're still young, eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and cheese curds and you'll get the proper nutrients from your foods.

    It's useful to take certain vitamins, and taking others is useless. The following vitamins are helpful in pill form (by virtue of how the body absorbs different vitamins and minerals):

    B Complex
    Vitamin D
    Calcium (which should be taken with Vitamin D)
    Vitamin C
    Potassium (if you tend to get muscle cramps at all, even very minor, this one is particularly helpful)
    Magnesium (ditto, in combination with Potassium)
    Zinc
    Folic Acid

    All the others, you should just get from food, since buying it in pill form is pretty much a waste of money. Nothing wrong with taking a multivitamin, although the amounts of the above vitamins/minerals in one multivitamin is pretty low - you're better off taking them as individual supplements. But a multivitamin certainly can't hurt. I personally take B12 (unless I'm eating a lot of red meat), potassium, and magnesium as separate pills, D in the winter, PLUS a multivitamin just to cover all my bases. I also drink a lot of milk (at least 2 cups a day). That's chock full of different nutrients. I know some people think even this might be pointless, but how I feel doesn't lie, and I really do feel better when I follow this regiment, so that speaks for itself, for me. :)

    I try to get my vitamins naturally through food.
    I do take multivitamins from time to time though as a supplement to my diet.

    "Supplement" as vitamins are called should be just that IMO.
