Vitamins

Lets have a constructive thread for once.

For all you nutrition freaks, time for some new vitamins..

Vitamins are overlooked by many but yet are very essential to the bosy, wanted to know which vitamins you all think are essential and should be taken daily (pill form).

I agree with above.

Enough vitamins and enough food w/ the necessary vitamins to go around.

meaning they're not really useless as the vast majority of people are too uninformed, undisciplined, or dont have the money to get their nutrition through food alone...

That's so far from the truth. Most people who diet end up sacrificing one thing for another. So they need to make up for it by taking vitamin supplements since they don't receive the proper amounts through their diet.

Not to mention the vast amount of allergies people suffer from. This doesn't allow them to eat certain foods which severely affects their ability to get the required nutrients.

It's sad how expensive it is to eat truly healthy. No wonder the percentage of overweight people is always increasing throughout Western civilization. Food that is bad for you is much more convenient and usually cheaper.

possibly

then again i am more active than him anyways, i run, go to the gym and watch what i eat ( most of the time anyways )

I think that a vitamin supplement just helps get the recommened amount of daily vitamins that I don't usually get from foods I eat during the day.

95% of people don't eat properly according to your definition since it's very hard to consume the recommended amount of each nutrient over the course of a day.

Most people who dont get the recommended amounts every day eat enough nutrients to make pills pointless.

I agree not all people need pills, but you're still deluded in thinking they're pointless. Just because you have enough money to buy something means you couldn't use some more money? (Stupid analogy I know, but best I could come up with) More of a good thing will not hurt you, it will only help you. Within reason of course.

It wont help if u dont need it. U might be taking unhealthy amounts of certain things without realising it, plus ur wasting money.
Also, theres the issue of quality. Pills wont do u anywhere near as much good as the same amount of natural nutrients in food.
Btw, only a month ago or so i read about a recent study proving that they do fuck all.
