Poll: Do you take a daily vitamin?

[Eli]

:Q

Those of you taking megadoses of vitamins seriously need to do some research and thinking before you pop all those pills.

Would you take double the ammount of prescription medication just because you thought it was good for you?

It is not good for you. Ever notice that your urine is bright yellow after you take B-vitamins?

You're flushing your money down the toilet. Megadoses of vitamins are toxic, and your body tries as hard as it can to flush your system of the excess as fast as it can.

There are over 60 (known) beneficial organic compounds in an Orange, one of which is ascorbic acid. Are you going to take the vitamin C suppliment, or just eat the orange?

I recommend holding off on the Echinacea, and switch to 500mg vitamin c instead. Herbs aren't meant to be taken any longer than 6 weeks in a row - you'll develop a resistance to Echnicea and it will become less effective when you do get sick. If you are taken it with Goldenseal, instead of a resistance you'll actually develop an allergic reaction to it.

What?

I'll agree on the resistance part, but you aren't going to just suddenly develop an alergic reaction to something because you take it everyday.

They say that if you can take a vitamin suppliment and notice a positive effect, that you really have some severe nutrition problems.

Think about it.

For the most part, but specifically Goldenseal may invoke a allergic reaction after extended use. Even on the bottles it will say do not take for more than 6 weeks, so I'm not making that one up.

I have started hearing that they dont even get absorbed in your body and you end up just passing most of it..
