Are you taking multivitamins?

i workout in the gym so my body requires me to have vitamins and minerals to supply the nutriens i needed..besides this vitamins i need other supplements for fast recovery of my muscles, for me it is beneficial cause without it i would be like a coy person..

I think that even if we "eat right," we still need multivitamins daily because so much of our food is lacking in essential nutrients. Partly because of the way it's grown and partly because of the way it's processed, the food in the grocery store doesn't have nearly as many vitamins and minerals as it should. Even "fresh" food has been in storage for long periods of time, losing vitamins all the while.

I'm taking prenatal vitamins, which is essentially a multivitamin for pregnant women - and for women who are nursing. It doesn't replace real food, but it does boost up the vitamins needed during this time . . . like iron or folic acid. I will say that if I don't take it in the morning, by afternoon I would be tired out . . . it does give me some form of energy too.

Hi :) I am taking multivitamins everyday, and I think it is helpful to take it. I do agree with many answers above that the food that we eat may not provide enough nutrients that we need on a daily basis, and sometimes it may be contaminated, processed and, etc. It's not like our ancestors has to worry about nutrition and health like us now. The pollution in the world and many diseases increase the needs for more nutrients to fight and to nourish the body. There is nothing like whole food from nature because it contains a lot more phytochemicals that work in synergy more than the synthetic vitamins that we eat. Some of it that human not yet discovered. (Which may be beneficial to our health as well) So I agree with both ways : Eat right and take multivitamins for the best nourishment and protection. We gain both ways. :) Sorry for a long answer. It is an interesting topic to discuss. Thanks!

Yes I take multivitamins in order to help me supplement whatever nutrients I miss by not eating the required daily nutrients intake that is recomended for me. I find it important because it helps me to overcome stress whenever my work is too pressured.

I am not taking multivitamins.I eat all kinds of vegetable and fruit.Its more helthy I think.

Well I am not taking any multivitamins at the moment but I know that its very difficult to get all the vitamins that you need from food so I am thinking that I will start taking some centrum come the new year because I feel that at times something is lacking in my diet .Sometimes I feel far too lethargic than I should

I cannot take vitamins. After about a week I get real strange flu-like symptoms.I have tried several brands. There is one brand I can take but prefer to simply eat a healthy diet and then I don't worry about it.

I think multivitamins is good for you, but it only suppliments. It can'not replace nutrients from fresh food and veggies. And if your taking multivitamins that has an acid content it's really bad for you in the long run. It can activate hyper acidity. Why no look for food supplements instead. Those with alkali and live enzymes

Taking some multivitamins may helpful for your health,but I suggest taking vitamins from fresh food.eating all kinds of vegetable and fruits available is the best choice.I don't think I am lack nutrients,because i eat various kinds of fresh food.

Hey Genericbe, Hru? To answer your first question ,Yes.No one really is nourished sufficiently by their diet.Even if you eat healthy because of the depleted soils our foods are grown in they are nutritionally deficient.I am sure you have heard the adage:"An apple a day keeps the doctor away".Well it is now "10 apples a day keeps the doctor away".Thus it is virtually impossible to eat a balanced diet that meets our nutritional needs.We will have to really pig out on healthy foods lol.What a strain that will then be on our digestive system.Thus I supplement with 2 whole green food supplements that are multivitamins and multiminerals in one.
