Vitamins?

[Wyodeerhunter]

Anyone out there take vitamins? And if you do what ones do you take and why? I was at walgreens yesterday and I couldn't believe how many different ones they carry. Just made me curious.

Yeah because that crap is good for you. The one thing I'm trying to do is reduce my intake of so called energy drinks. They are just terrible for a person.

Please "elaborate"

cjcj, energy drinks are bad for the simple fact they give you a rush and then you get a major low. not good for the system. as far as vitamins, vit C, B, calcium citrate for the old bones, MSM with glucosamine, for the old joints, 81mg aspirin for the heart, and Garlic. multi vitamins aren't worth the money as you get rid of more of it than keep in the system.

Well My wife and I take Nutrilite vitamins and feel great. I have way more energy, I am happier, and have not been sick all winter. Be carefull with your choice and do some research. Nutrilite uses organic sustainable farming for their ingrediantes and low heat for processing. Many brands do not and they are mainly fillers which pass out as waste. Ask me for more info as I do not want to sound like a commercial here and get in trouble from Moosie...LOL. We also drink XS brand energy drinks they are phenominal.

cj,

here are some articles, whether they specifically mention Rockstar brand or not, they are all pretty much the same.

There are tons of articles like these on the web. I'll admit I like to drink some of them myself, but the weird feelings, caffiene hangovers, and diaretic effects of them aren't much fun, thus the reasons I'm trying to lay off or quit drinking them altogether.

My wife claims to have seen an interview with a man who pumps out septic tanks for a living. One of his accounts is a health retreat camp where they pass out lots of vitamins. You guessed it, the vitamin pills were passing through un-digested.
Eat good food and you don’t need vitamins.
That being said, I take "C" and "B" sometimes.

I remember when they first came out I was still Coaching baseball, our short-stop drank one before a game...could'nt catch a thing!!! I'll stick with H2o. John

couple gins with a little tonic and usually some vit C (lime).

That and stretching my meat keeps me fit.

There was an artilce in the NE Journal of medicin last month. The author claimed that multi-vitamines were completly useless, and may actually be linked to some cancers. He said the only vitamin he takes is D, the rest can be found in healty doses in a balanced diet.

From reading the above posts it sounds like most of them do not do much/any good. I can't believe how many different ones there are!

I've still haven't even took a aspirin in my life yet.....

I asked a Dr. one time, and he said they were great if you wanted your urine to glow in the dark....

Head on up North, we get some good sparring in Monday thru Thursday. I'd take that challenge. I think I took some vitamin C when I had a cold once, not sure it helped much.........

Marv....No!! someone did try to get us on Monovie (sp?) though. Redding is not all that bad a place...LOL. I can only speak to how I feel since taking vitamins/supplements. I think eating "HEALTHY" foods here in the USA is a myth. Our meat and vegatables are far from nutrient filled, pesticide and steroid filled maybe. I know eating fresh picked and slaughtered food in Mexico I feel way better and do not feel hungry as soon afterwards.
