I take C and D for my immune system (and I haven't had a cold all winter, nya-nya-nya-nya-nya), and a B combo and mineral combo for my moods. When I DON'T take the latter is when I notice the effect on my moods.

I have a few but I never remember to take them, which is just fine because I eat well and don't really need to add anything.

I think that's it (for now). Obviously dealing with some health issues here....
Nope, just thought of more: St. John's Wort Adreset (adrenal support) Pro-biotics Oh hell, that's enough even if I think of more. Grumble grumble...

18. I'm taking vitamins as I try and loose weight. Specially Vitamin C with flavanoids (which I have to |
|
buy tomorrow) and a multivitamin for weight loss (which so far has done nothing as far as I can tell). But the multivitamin has 1000 Vitamin D in it so I'll keep taking it.

22. No. there is no scientific evidence they are necessary. |
|
Except for people who have an actual vitamin deficiency. Plus they are not regulated by the FDA for safety and efficacy; there is no proof that what they say is in the bottle is actually in the bottle.

We are lucky here in the states where you don't need a prescription for Vitamin C in excess of 500mg! :-)

41. Mine does too but I ignore him. |
|
They don't always read the latest studies. Those studies though are hard to evaluate because they usually just follow people over a period of years but do not take into account they vitamins that people get from food, naturally. So maybe the just is still out. I simply do not trust the manufacturers of these vitamins to tell me what is actually in the bottle.

I take a multivitamin that is completely overloaded with the various vitamin Bs. It helps immensely with my anxiety, and makes my pee a rather vibrant yellow, to boot.

40. yep...fish oil and a multivitamin |
|
multivitamin with minerals...though I had to switch to a men's formula rather than the general multivitamin, as my iron was getting too high.
The fish oil is actually prescribed by my doc for my cholesterol.

They are a waste of money because there's no proof they do any good. Most of them get pissed away...literally.
Except for maybe any gain that can be attributed to a placebo effect, they are the biggest scam going.
