I had a doctor tell me that 80-90% of pill vitamins pass out through urine, and that for the most part the industry was a scam.
Need extra iron, eat a rare steak every once in a while. Doc told me that’s why when they dropped my blood in that blue liquid it darn near cracked the bottom of the vial it sunk so fast.
Some meds MAY cause dangerously low levels of some minerals and vitamins, thus docs prescribe a daily. I would check drugs.com to see what you may be low in and reasonably eat the foods higher in those nutrients. Don’t forget the word MAY.
Apples and oranges yourself.
Tylenol is for pain relief, vitamin c is not.

You have heard of suicide.....? People have od’d on tylenol and all sorts of otc and prescription drugs. No poison control number on vitamin c.
My doctors (and I see MANY, and also include our pediatrician) have basically all said it is not necessary to take vitamins and so on unless something with your system might decrease what you need. In which case, a specific vitamin/mineral might be “prescribed”.
I take Vit D3 per a specified dose, by delicious chewables!
But really they say as long as you are on a reasonable diet, you should be getting the averages you need. My son takes multis because he is SOOOO damn picky and won’t eat much of anything.
drink more beer
I always love it when they write some generality about increasing our risk of dying. Our risk of dying is ultimately 100 percent.
I needed a whole more vitamin D 10,000 IU along with some iron and magnesium to feel well.
I was able to stop taking thyroid medicine which I was put on for the symptoms I had. I haven’t taken any for more then 4 years.
When I sit in the sun, I get skin cancer.
When I was fighting cancer, my oncologists said studies of Vit-D were showing promise.
So, the oncologist tested my D-levels. She found them dangerously low. She ordered high doses of prescription Vit-D for a short time until my levels were closer to normal. And then I started eating OTC D3 gummies every day.
About a year after treatment ended, though, the oncologists told me those studies of Vit-D didn’t pan out the way they’d hoped they would.
But, a little more sunshine sure wouldn’t hurt...
Eat all of the colors of vegetables and fruits and don’t take vitamins. Problem solved. It’s pretty simple.
Diet requirements are not universal, nor immutable. They are different for each person and change with locale and age. Fat is good, protein is good and even complex carbs, but carbs should not be the largest part of anyone’s caloric intake. Such advice flies in the face of reality. Obesity and diabetes became prevalent only after years of low-fat government “guidelines.”
Bacon, ham and fatty meats were a significant part of the traditional American diet before the propaganda published by the FDA and abetted by the AMA. Both of these entities have historically and consistently opposed vitamins, and yet they both endorse “vitamin-enriched” foods. Vitamin-enriched “foods” were specifically developed to market non-nutritive byproducts as food both to reduce cost and increase shelf life. Coincidentally, adding refined sugar and reducing real fat fits the same agenda. Anyone else seeing a trend here?
“All things in moderation” is a good philosophy. Eating real foods is the best diet, but even then, supplementation is beneficial as a person ages. There is nothing wrong with taking vitamins as long as you watch the fat-soluble ones. It is literally impossible to overdose on water-soluble vitamins. These propaganda pieces are just that, another way for the government to scare people and promote more harmful regulation.
You need K2 to get the D3 to the right spots.
Yet many have grown up in the hamburger from” McDonald's” for a very low price, almost daily. They are tasty. Including coca cola's ... the same thing. We most all like these items; but currently for many it is NOT in context of a a balanced diet. And many eating out establishments are too expensive to be a daily meal other than special weekly or monthly occasions.
Usually how each of us were raised is what we know, and what we do on going as well. What children experience is the foundational basis for the rest of their life.
Coupons, and advertising, and children's attractions are all the easy way to go and it becomes a BAD habit to the determent of the children and adults as well.. MM.
Too true. Raised most of my kids when we lived on a farm. They hated it, of course, but they learned how to eat well. Even my youngest (7) still eats so healthy it’s funny. She loves making smoothies and she puts in greens as well as yogurt and tropical fruit—no sugar. We have no soda or koolaide. Only water, tea and rarely milk. I don’t worry about the occasional chicken nuggets, pizza or junk food.
I did not know that. Thanks for the advice.
Really, when you are exposed to sunlight you get skin cancer?
Vitamin D is the only vitamin processed in our body with the help of the sun. Maybe you shouldn’t sit in the sun, maybe you should do work around the outside of your home or find something to do outdoors. Thus receiving other “side” benefits. Unless, of course, you suffer from the rare disease in which your skin is extremely sensitive to sunlight. Then I don’t fault you for not going out.
Those with Vit-D deficiency are far more likely to benefit from the sun than a pill.
