Whether or not multivitamins are BS? idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I asked my doctor about multivitamins. He told me all they do is make your pee yellow. I know you're not going to eat a bottle of vitamins, but the reason I post it cause it's like a crash course on vitamins. Which ones are water soluble and which ones are fat soluble etc etc.

^ I once took them for about two years, then gave up with no discernable difference to my health. Most averagely balanced diets deliver most of the vits we need, I believe, so multivits are only useful if you have some unusually bad diet. PLUS I read that the body can only absorb x milligrams of vit Y a day. If you crank up that quant with multivits, you're just making your liver and stuff work harder to get rid of excess junk, which is why it's chucking out that famously yellow pee.

Bottom line: eat a bit of fruit and veg instead is my (unprofessional) opinion.

It helps if for every 1 meat you have 2 veg.

On Skeptics Guide to the Universe they said the science in still unclear but most hypotheses turn out to be false. The hypothesis here being one can successfully make up part of their nutritional needs from a less than ideal diet by supplementing with multivitamins. It has not been proven or disproven at this point, according to the medical doctor on the podcast, but it probably does nothing or very little.

He’s probably right but I still take vitamins lol. I have a problem with muscle spasms, hurts like goddamn, I think b12 and magnesium and potassium plus **** loads of water help. I try to eat bananas and drink coconut juice but if I don’t have any I’ll pop some pills. Who the **** knows? No one apparently.

My confusion about this topic is that "how do they fit all that crap into one pill!" because lets say you need vitamin d supplements, you can buy those pills, if you need vitamin C supplements, they have them also.

A multi-vitamin has so much in one pill, I just wonder "hows it all fit in one dandy lil pill"...

I stopped taking mine plus stopped taking fish oil pills. Might jump back onto the fish oil pills....

I dont take the multi-vitamin though... I still dont believe it and think its more of a placebo scam...

Im also on the fence on how they fit some much stuff in my veggie powder in one scoop too
