Vitamins

well i dont think that taking a vitamin the day you get a sore throat is necessarily going to help you much, better to take echenacia for that, but taking a multi vitamin daily is a good idea because if you are like me and are not a very good eater, you at least get some of the stuff thats needed on a daily basis.

Hehe. I take a whole mess of vitamins and herbal supplements. I did run out of my mulit-vitamin, and like you felt a difference, but got some yesterday. I take a mulit-vitamin, a 1,000 mg. of Vit-C, sometimes a garlic pill, my echinea, an Omega-3 Fish Oil caps and my Glucosamine

I only take mine through a Health Drink or Yoghurt as I just can not remember to take more Tablets lol I just wish they would make something to give you full time energy lol but I have not found anything yet I wish I had Gissi's Energy half the time

I take vitamins daily due to having surgery for weight loss..I have to take them for the rest of my life which is fine by me..I also have to take iron because I am anemic...Vitamin C is suppose to help us so we don't get sick...When I feel sick I drink lots of orange juice....

Yes, i believe take vitamins every day can prevent me from getting sick. I do take vitamins C and D3 every morning after breakfast. When my husband and my son getting cold and cough couple months ago, i am OK. I need vitamins C because i don't eat too much fruit ^_^;;

Nope, i don't drink any meds. I have allergies. I can not simply swallow any kind of vitamins. It must be the one that my body can tolerate. Besides, i don't need the supplementaries, for I am eating enough and has a strong resistance.

I'll admit that I am not a vitamin person. My mother is a firm believer in it. I personally believe that if you eat a well balanced diet and nutritious food, you may not need to take extra vitamins. But I don't think it's wrong if someone feels the need to supplement their diet with extra vitamins. But I feel some may over do it in the vitamin dept. I have tried to get in a habit of taking vitamins, but I just fail everytime. If I take them too early in the day I get nauseous and throw them up. I have passed them whole, gross subject, I know, but it does make me wonder if they are doing any good. I know I don't believe the cheaper varieties that you get at Walmart are good for you. I think if you are going to take any, you should get a brand you can trust. I do have friends who have taken those good vitamins that you can get from Amway/Quixtar for years, and they dont' get sick near as often as I do. You may be onto something, by taking them if you are feeling a cold coming on. Great topic by the way :)

I do take vitamins but not every day. But when I feel that the weather is not good for me, I would try to take vitamins more often. Normally I take multivitamins or vitamin C. Beside that I also try to take mixed fruit juice. This one normally I try to do it every day.

this is only placebo effect otherwise in a healthy human being taking a normal diet there is no need for extra vitamins
