Multivitamins

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.

It's always best to get your vitamins from natural sources... The problem is that most people can't actually get the DV% of all the essential nutrients. It just means too much of a variety and amount of food that needs to be eaten on a daily basis. Of course everyone should do their best to reach that goal, but it's close to impossible to actually get the recommended daily intake even with a healthy and varied diet (which does make me wonder about where they get these recommended daily intake numbers....). Anyway, I figure people should just play around with vitamin and mineral supplements and actually pay attention to whether or not their bodies feel any better or not. And of course some people just need supplements... people who don't drink milk will likely need a calcium supplement. Those who hate bananas should probably take potassium supplements... those who never eat fruit should be taking Vit C, and vegetarians and vegans should probably take B Complex supplements, people who just don't eat a really varied or healthy diet for whatever reason should certainly take supplements, and so on...
