Vitamins: take every day or alternate?

[Deleted member 4644]

I have a variety of vitamins and other pills (fish oil, magnesium, etc) that I take sometimes..

On average I probably take each pill about 2-3 times a week, but not on any sort of regular schedule.

Is this bad in any way? I assume that taking them sometimes is better than never taking them, but I am I hurting myself by not taking them consistently?

You're not hurting yourself, but you're also not getting the full benefit. Taking vitamins sometimes is better than not taking them at all. Taking them as directed is better than taking them sometimes.

you're supposed to take them every day just like the bottle says.
