There are times our body need something to boost it up. Especailly if we are over work, so now and then we have to take our vitamins, because not all the time the food we eat are giving us the essential vitamins to make our body function properly. But I belive that one can get addicted to vitamins, Sometime we have to ease off and take the natural food, that gives us the same vitamins. Pills is good yes, but at some point our body can be addicted to it, and make us feel that we cannot do without it. I dont know if I am 100 percent right, but thats my view.

I have to agree with you. Although I believe that most of the time it could be a psychological addiction and not really a physical addiction, thinking if I take this I won't get that or will become this. Alot has to do with the media playing on the clouded intellect of mislead consumers. Your body knows what it needs and how much of it, hence cravings. I think the best thing to do is have a yearly physical or just find a way to become more in-tune with your body and listen to what it needs, then educate yourself in basic nutrition or have personal wellness coach offer you advice and set you up on a daily regime for vitamin and supplement intake. Vitamins and supplements still are considered food, and in most cases are regulated by the FDA like our products at Herbalife, whose products are based on targeted nutrition and a balanced diet system, but for serious health conditions it is always recomended that you consult a physician for any dietary change including vitamins and supplements. There can be side effects in supplement over load, mostly in taking minerals, but with basic vitamins your body just excretes what it doesn't need.
