do u take any supplements?
i take a multivitamin (men's 50+ costs the same amount but has more vitamin in it).
fish oil
magnesium

the multivitamin is like 5 cents a day and even if i piss out most of it, i figure it'll keep me covered when my diet is bad. fish oil is because i don't eat fish. and magnesium because most people don't get enough magnesium.

most vitamins consumed separate from natural food sources have been strongly linked to cancer, liver failure, kidney stores, and vascular damage

yeah that's weird because vitamins are usually extracted from natural sources.

>multis
i take half a one if i've been doing some heavy drinking. otherwise never

>>21443633 (OP)
One A Day makes me nauseous to the point of vomiting. Centrum for men doesn't.

>>21443633 (OP)
Vit D, I get plenty of sunlight so not sure why I've got a deficiency. Oh well.

>>21443633 (OP)
Once a Day:
1x Multivitamin
1x D3 (5000 IU)
6x Amla Extract (~2400 mg)

Once a week:
1x B12 (2500 mcg )

Yeah? And me pumelling your skull has been linked to severe brain damage.

No, because I'm not retarded or a manchild and my diet is balanced and diversified in its nutrients. Also most supplements are useless and a massive waste of money

I had my blood checked and have no deficiencies so I don't need them. Anyone that takes them without cause is a retard.

I used to get really bad nausea with certain vitamins, too. From what I know, it's usually some sort of intolerance for B vitamins. You can power through it if you will. I don't feel it anymore.

I am on OMAD.
So I drink lots of WATER AND TAKE MEN'S GUMMIES MULTIVITAMINS.

>>21443675
I don't buy mine from kidney stores

>>21443852
pretty sure d3 over 4000 iu is toxic

>>21443633 (OP)
waste of money

>vitamins are usually extracted from natural sources.
That is easily one of the most useless things I've ever heard anyone say. Where the fuck ELSE are vitamins going to be extracted from? UNnatural sources?
Anyhow, I take magnesium. Two forms, actually. Oxide and glycinate. The oxide version is for when I have a tummyache.

>>21443633 (OP)
I take 30,000 IUs of vitamin D every Monday morning. Recommended by my doctor because I live in a northern state. Don't know if it does shit for me because I still get depressed as hell sometimes but I also only get sick once a year (probably also helps that I work from home)

>>21443633 (OP)
Some advice, Magnesium, iron and zinc compete for whos being absorbed so you have to try to take them at different times of the day

I take zinc for increased semen production and vitamin D because I sit inside all day.

>Where the fuck ELSE are vitamins going to be extracted from?
yeah that's the point.
this anon >>21443675
talks about how vitamins separate from natural sources are bad
but, all the vitamins come from natural sources. eating a hamburger and taking a fish oil tablet is the same shit as eating a hamburger and a can of sardines.

>>21443683
false

>>21443675
this. youre supposed to monitor your nutrient levels with a nutrition specialist and supplement only the ones your body lack, for the prescribed time
health supplements are treatment not a daily thing

The current thought is they probably don't hurt you, but they probably don't help you much unless you have a legitimate disease or deficiency. If you're able, a varied diet will go much further than a pill.

Vitamins can be extracted from natural sources or manufactured (synthetic). If a synthetic vitamin is 100% chemically identical then theoretically there should be no difference in bioavailability. However, vitamins from whole food sources compared to natural or synthetic supplements tend to be more bioavailable (better absorbed and put to use) because of other nutrients/chemicals in the food. An example not related to whole food is tumeric and pepper. Tumeric contains curcumin and and black pepper contains piperine. When eaten together, the piperine can increase curcumin bioavailability by 2000%.

idk about that they just made my nails grow crazy fast and my hair feel thicker like it was when i was a teenager

>>21443953
Ok good for you but I personally am 33 and still like to play videogames until 3am and eat instant noodles and diet coke with ice-cream so personally having a multivitamin handy takes the edge off worrying im not getting enough

>>21443633 (OP)
I have a pill organizer but only remember to take 2-3 times/wk
Multivitamin
D3
Zinc
Probiotic
Anti-gas simethicone
Milk thistle extract for liver health (you can guess why)
