Do you take any suppliments or vitamins?

[lozina]

everytime I buy some supplements I start taking them for a few days then jsut get lazy and forget. So the bottle sits in a cupboard for a few years before I start doing some cleanup and go "Wtf is this?" and toss it in the trash. Routines and I are totally incompatible.

 

[Schadenfroh]

only a multi-vitamin at night.

 

[badet77]

Take one a day as I remember. I thought the store brand vitamins are comparable to the brand name ones.

 

[BW86]

Whey Protein and a multivitamin everyday

 

[jadinolf]

Multivitamin and B-12.

They are. Vitamins are vitamins. Don't fall for the "natural ingredients" crap, because a vitamin is by definition nothing more than a chemical compound.

Brands and off brands of a typical supplement are basically the same.

As far as "natural ingredients" goes, if that's all the product claims it has without listing the form of the vitamins, it is BS.

However, saying that vitamins are merely chemical compounds and that all chemical compounds can be used by the body equally is simply incorrect. If that were true, I could suck on a nail to get my iron.

Many vitamins in the citrate form are more bioavailable.

Want to take a real supplement with proven effectiveness?

Take Juice Plus.


Just look at all the research done to prove it actually works.

What's in it? The site wants me to signup for something when I try to find out.

I know my supplement works for me because of the change in my bloodwork (went from poor with iron deficiency to excellent, according to the doctor) and vision. I haven't gotten sick either. I don't expect anyone to take that as proof or something (think Mormon South Park episode, ha). For me that's more important than studies. As the prescription drug market has shown, studies can bend the truth. I'm not saying that product isn't legit, I'm just saying that I have no reason to switch to anything because the evidence for me is the personal results.

It's also a mild blood thinner.

Where did I say that all chemical compounds are the same?? What is wrong with you?

I never said that you claimed that all chemical compounds are the same. I was getting at your suggestion that all chemical forms of the same vitamin are equal.

I was disagreeing with your "vitamins are vitamins" statement. You basically said that all vitamins are equal and that they are simply chemical compounds.

Vitamins can be in several different chemical compound forms and certain forms are more available for absorption.
