Do you think taking vitamins & minerals supplements does anything?

Just curious on people's take. If you have studies, etc. that'd be cool too.

One dr I met said anything but a multi vitamin is just expensive urine.
But my GP - when I see him for sinus infections etc. says differently- so idk

I asked my doctor and he said not much, and certainly not what marketing would have you believe, but he also said no harm in using basic vitamins if you feel better having taken them.

A health diet and exercise is all you need.

Multi vitamins are a waste, AG-1 is actually legit

I take B and D vitamins regularly. I also add marine collagen to my coffee each morning.

I don’t look (or act) my age and I’m almost never sick so

If you eat balanced meals, or close to balanced, most healthy folks shouldn’t need anything. Many go on long term diets though, where they only eat a narrow range of foods.

zinc.


If I’m sick or have a cut or some wound or burn or whatever I’ll add zinc for better / faster healing.

As long as not taking mega doses, probably no harm.

There are solubility limits, etc with vitamins.

I take multi vitamin.
Maybe helps?
Can't hurt.
Try and eat balanced diet.

Magnesium Glycinate has worked wonders for my sleep. My bloodwork was sketchy so i started taking cod liver oil and it is much better. Turmeric seems to help my knees.

I’m just taking boron. I’m not sure it does much except enhances morning wood.

That Bryan Johnson blueprint guy takes 100 supplements a day. Seems to be working for him.

GP’s don’t know what the frick they’re talking about. You need someone that is educated on the particular substance you’re taking

Absolutely. It’s expensive though.
When my monthly shipment runs out before the next one ships I absolutely feel more bloated and less energetic during those days without.

It’s expensive because it’s a quality product.

I have arthritis in my neck and i take tumeric to help with the inflammation and magnesium to keep the muscles loose. Those seem to work just fine when compared to pharmaceuticals.
