  Vitamin D tends to bind to the iron in multivitamins, cancelling out the effects of both. I don’t know if the same goes for other combinations, but it’s probably safer to get vitamins from normal food.

  I have doubts its the same for the body. Vitamins from a pill and vitamins from proper food…

    Just take them during the meal to trick the body into absorbing them.

    Even proper food has fewer nutrients than it used to

      Yeah very much. Now its about profits, so quality goes down and price goes up. Modern farming.

  Vitamins are barely regulated and don’t have to pass the standard of “generally recognized as safe and effective”. Because of that we don’t even have a ton of data on the effectiveness of multivitamins, but one of the things that we do know is most of the vitamins are just pissed out because they need cofactors to be properly absorbed. If you truly can’t get nutrients from a healthy diet then they are better than nothing but healthy diet is still the number one priority.

  Doctors sometimes recommend them because “they can’t hurt” but that doesn’t mean they are actually helpful
