Yesterday instead of discussing Organic Chemistry in our class, our professor spent 4 hours convincing us to buy USANA vitamins on him. He said that it's one of the best vitamins out there and that it can prevent different kinds of illnesses. I actually think I needed them because I don't eat vegetables ().
So my question is, do you believe that multivitamins can help your body achieve optimum level of health? What vitamins do you take? Do you think they give the same amount of vitamins/minerals that organic foods gives us?
I remember reading a study done on this and apparently they aren't all that good for you in the long run. I forget what they cause but I remember the article stated that they are a relatively new thing and that small signs are just showing up on long time users.
I eat relatively healthy and take a multivitamin everyday. Idk about the long term effects, but when I dont take them I feel more run down and less healthy without them. And I've gotten way less colds/flus since Ive started taking them a year ago.
I don't take vitamins regularly, is that bad? And I always have colds every time I take Vit. C after a few days of not taking them. It's so weird.
I've never taken a MultiVit I never get sick, feel gross or anything like that. I only discovered like like year that practically all of my friends take them everyday.
Multivitamins are a waste of money as long as your diet is decent. At most they're just providing trace minerals. But generally, you're just making your piss more expensive.
Vitamin D and fish oil are worth taking and are backed by a lot of research. They're the only supplements I take.
I work at a local alternative remedy store. I don't fully believe in everything we sell, but I do take a multivitamin from Standard Process called Catalyn. I would never take a multivitamin from Wal-Mart or any big chain stores after what I have heard about them. I only trust what we sell at the store.
You don't really need to take a multivitamin if you are a young healthy adult and you obtain all your nutritional needs through the foods you eat. People spend millions every year on useless vitamins backed by little or no research; however, fish oil supplements are backed by tons of research and will greatly reduce your chances of cardiovascular diseases. This will help your health in the long run.

Where can I buy Catalyn other than your store though?

I honestly think that being healthy is expensive. So a lot of people may resort to these kinds of things which are cheaper and are available everywhere.

They are freakishly overpriced. Eat fruits and vegetables then get enough sunlight and that would be it!
