What daily vitamins to take?

Question:

Hello all, I’m considering to start taking daily vitamins to give my body nutrients I’m sure it’s been lacking for a while. Can anyone suggest a brand or what you use? Also, I think vitamins use to upset my stomach if I remember right. Has anyone else had this problem? One more thing I’d like to know is does taking vitamins make you feel better? Thanks for any suggestions on vitamin brands and such, Paul

Do you eat poorly? Can anyone suggest a brand or what you use?

I doubt you need one at all. Also, I think vitamins use to upset my stomach if I remember right. Has anyone else had this problem?

Don’t take on an empty stomach but if you have eaten, you probably don’t need the vit. One more thing I’d like to know is does taking vitamins make you feel better?

Yes, if you like to feel your wallet lightened. Thanks for any suggestions on vitamin brands and such,

They say that if you eat a healthy, well-balanced diet, you don’t need vitamins. But, who eats a diet THAT healthy and well-balanced? Not me, even though I try. I’d suggest just about any general multi vitamin, I wouldn’t go for anything pricey or fancy. det

Response:

No I don’t eat poorly, but I’ve heard it’s good to take vitamins to assure your getting nutrients you may not get in the foods you eat.

That’s the point. When I went on the 2 pond diet, which cut my food intake over 50%, I asked my cardiologist, who prescribed the diet for me, what he thought about vits. No need and he showed me the research citations. I asked other researchers, Same conclusions. Seriously, when was the last time you heard of a healthy someone, who eats regularly, having an issue with vits? If I remember right I took vitamins at breakfast and had a discomfort in my stomach at the time.

Some people simply do not digest them well. I asked does taking vitamins make you feel good? You stated yes if you like to feel your wallet lightened. I’m asking if you feel any better taking them?

No and I took them for a month and quit. Forgive me if I’m reading your response wrong, but it appears your giving me a smart answer.

I am trying to make you think before you spend your money unwisely. Excepting the fact that certain vits and minerals, in excess, can be bad for men, if you want to take them, go right ahead. http://www.allthesky.com/eclipses/lunareclipse01a.html Lift well, Eat less, Walk fast, Live long.

Excuse me — the RDA is based on food, not pills. Forget about pills, there are a number of nutrients that are better absorbed from food than pills. Two are fiber and anti-oxidants. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – No I don’t eat poorly, but I’ve heard it’s good to take vitamins to assure your getting nutrients you may not get in the foods you eat.

Hi Paul, I take many vitamins every day, including: 1) Multi – I like vitalert. You can get a big bottle of it at Sams or Costco. 2) Vit C – 1000 extra mg every night before bed 3) Fish Oil – 1 capsule in morn/1 in evening – good for hair, skin and gall bladder if you still have one 4) Co-enzyme – antioxident 5) MSM 1 gram every morning and night- for collagen, joints, skin, hair. I can’t take glucosomine due to glucophage injestion 6) Folic Acid – I am not trying not to get pregnant right now :). However, you may not need it! 7) Zyban, not a vitamin but I haven’t smoked in 2 months, 2 weeks, 1 day, 9 hours, 23 minutes. Viactiv – Calcium chews for women – 2 (1000 mg) a day. It is my chocolate craving/calcium all in one. Caramel is my favorite. 20 calories each. 9) Echinecea/goldenseal if I am feeling sick. 10) Green tea every day at work (the actual tea, not supplement) 11) I used to take flax seed oil all of the time but did some research on it. I found out that it is easy to buy it rancid and not know it… so blech! I also take a couple other prescriptions (allegra, glucophage xr, aldactone) a day to assist with allergies and my PCOs. I don’t have a problem with med/vitamins upsetting my tummy at all. Actually, I’ve been known to take the whole handful with one small sip of water. (Note – I am not looking for criticism about the number of vitamins I take. I’ve cleared this list with my endo and dietician) — Email me at: perpleglow(AT)comcast.net

Excuse me — the RDA is based on food, not pills.

Excuse me — the (US Govt) RDA is based on junk-science, and the FDA is corrupt. I have lost fifty pounds in four months, no exercise, with: Daily, at noon: 1 Therma Pro with Ma Haung (ephedra) 1 Norexin with Ma Haung [half the two-pill "dose"] 1 TwinLab Cellmins Potassium, Magnesium & Taurine 1 200mcg chromium picolinate 1 500mg vitamin c 1 400mg vitamin e (soft-cap) 1 225mcg iodine (in 45mg KAL kelp) 1 500mg green tea extract (NSI) 1 Nature’s Benefits Herbal Energizer multi-ginseng formula 1 Kings Power Plus (a "mens" pill with yohimbe and some B-vitamins) 1 "junk generic close multi-vitamin pill" (Thera-Vites) A handful of dry-roasted peanutsor plain slices of whole-wheat bread (usually a flavorful variety like Brownberry Buttermilk). 1 Sobe "Love Bus" chocolate-milk/ginseng drink to wash everything down. Or Sobe Orange-Mango, Strawberry-dacqueri, and some of the Arizona-brand teas (I like the flavor in the blue bottle, forget its name) for variety. — The ephedra is the "meat and potatoes" of this formula; the rest is probably just junk (I bought a lot of the other stuff off the clearance racks at the local dollar-store, although the Herbal Energizer produces a noticable boost); ephedra kills the appetite, allowing you to blow off dinner and breakfast for another Sobe and peanuts (or other light snack). And one other tidbit for all you guys out there: The smaller your belly gets, the harder your *dick* gets. — "An election is nothing more than an advance auction of stolen goods." – Ambrose Bierce

I make up vitamin bins every two weeks. I increase his dose of Niacin each time. Each time he complains of flushing and I leave him at the new dose for two weeks. The guy’s never been thrilled about me finding out his cholesterol level.

Has he tried slow-release niacin? I get it online — http://www.endur.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=products.displayproduct&id=25. I’ve been taking this for my cholesterol for about 4 years now, with good results. I haven’t had my cholesterol tested since I’ve lost weight, though, and I want to do that soon. (Except for at the blood donor clinic, where they just notify you if yours is high enough to be cause for concern.) Chris

Response:

Let’s see, I take quite a few. I take a calcium supplement, generic multivitamin with iron, extra 500 mg vitamin C, a CLA capsule (don’t ask, it was a gift) and 1/4 aspirin (I cut it with my pillcutter) and a 400 mcg of chromium piccolinate (I used to be insulin resistant but I probably don’t need it anymore) and 2 of my 3 tablets of glucosamin/chondroitin/msm. When I’m not taking CLA (a fatty acid) then I might take fish oil capsules or vitamin E. Sometimes I take a caffeine pill and ephedrine HCl. My husband’s bin is completely different. He has vitamin E, Niacin, some plant steroid thing, 1/4 aspirin, a multivitamin without iron and a 500 mg of C. I make up vitamin bins every two weeks. I increase his dose of Niacin each time. Each time he complains of flushing and I leave him at the new dose for two weeks. The guy’s never been thrilled about me finding out his cholesterol level. Dally

Thanks, I bookmarked the page. I think that’s what I’ve got him on now. I’ve been ramping up the dose very, very slowly. He only flushes for the first day or two of each new dose. Dally
