Taking Multivitamins Daily Doesn't Help People Live Longer Says Study

I've always poo pooed vitamins before but the older I've got I'm getting more tired so l just brought a multivitamin with iron and a well known fizzing tablet, yes l expect miracles straight away, I've been taking them for two weeks and I'm still pooped every day, l don't think l will bother to buy anymore when they are all gone, eating healthy (fruit & veg) and drinking more water and trying to get seven hours sleep will have to do as l do believe its money down the drain.

So much for being told to take vitamin D not only in winter but summer too. I do take them. But the only other thing I take is glucosamine for my knee joints and I swear by that. When knee pain was really bad started taking and improvement in about 6 weeks. Stopped taking and within weeks pain was back but to lesser degree, take one daily again now.

I found out from a nutritionist consultant last year, that most over the counter vitamins don't work, the body doesn't/cant absorb them, vitamin B3 is one of them, waste of money

Big Pharma doing it's thing methinks.Multi vits are no replacement for a good diet tis true but I do think that adding in a few extra vits when living in a polluted city under the stresses and strains of surburban living will certainly not do anyone any harm.

I think you can't just lump them altogether as many people have vitamin deficiencies but others may assume they have deficiencies and be taking them for no benefit as they aren't actually deficient. Taking Vitamin D has been medically proven to improve people's health as there has been quite a lot of research done on it. In fact now I think of it there has been quite a lot of medical research done on various vitamins and minerals etc that are positive. I think its more about vitamins and minerals that standard food is deficient in. Many processed foods are very poor nutritionally so many people who eat mainly processed food I'm sure will benefit. Someone who is regularly eating healthy food like salads may not need to take supplements. I reduced my dairy food consumption recently but using oat milk more often and that has made me feel much better so fatigue may be more about what you are actually eating rather than relying on a supplement to cure the issue. I had kidney stones previously which is the most painful thing I've ever endured and now take Chanca Piedra which has been proven to break up such stones. I just take one occasionally and avoid spinach most of the time which can be a big cause and which I used to eat a lot of.

If this is true I should be back in hospital being given another transfusion because I certainly do not get enough nutrients from the food I eat. I am scared to eat too much because I cannot move around much and am constantly denying myself food for the fear of going up another dress size. I've only gone up two dress sizes so far since my disability, but I certainly do not take in enough vitamins in the small amount I do eat.

Pint of Guinness has vitamins in

Sypposingly OTC vitmains just come out in your wee and have no benefits to your body.

I have to take a multivitamin, as part of my prescription due to ill health, so this doesn’t apply to all like your theory suggests more medical.

I take vitD tablet daily as prescribed by my doctor plus an occasional multivitamin gummy. I’ve not noticed any difference but convince myself theyre protecting me.
