I read an article a couple weeks ago that someone linked on here. It said most vitamins you buy over the counter don't really work, because they're synthetic. It said only prescription vitamins are easily absorb by the body.
Where is that article???
Sounds like something written by a meth addict. I remember one dipshit trying to say "ascorbic acid" and "vitamin c" are not the same thing because one is a "chemical" and the other comes from oranges. People
that dumb deserve everything that happens to them.
"There can't be, like, H2O in your body, man. That's, like... a chemical, man."
Some of the more common vitamins people need
*Vitamin D: This is made when your skin is exposed to UV light (being outside). If you work in an office and you don't go outside much, you might need more of this. Cereals and milk are fortified with this already. Black people need more vitamin D than white people because their skin naturally blocks a lot of UV light.
*Vitamin C: This vitamin helps with tissues repair. As long as you eat or drink oranges or lemons or limes every once in a while, you'll be fine. If you're like me and you only drink milk, then that might not be enough. British people are called "limeys" because their sailors always brought limes as part of their food supply to ward off scurvy. Keep in mind that scurvy only describes the most severe cases of vitamin C deficiency
*Iron: This is in your blood. Lots of women are anaemic due to monthly blood loss.
*Calcium and magnesium: This is for your bones. I drink milk all the time so I don't need more of these. If you only drink coke and coffee, then you might need these. Women seem to be hit harder by this than men.
*B vitamins: most people do not need these. B vitamins are found in meat and people in first world countries eat a lot of meat. You should only need extra B vitamins if you are pregnant or if your body has a hard time absorbing B vitamins.
