Mercedes55 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 OH and I take a Vit D supplement as neither of us likes sitting out in the sun and our GP said we should. We don't take a high dose, not sure those are very good for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I think that if you are lacking in something that you cannot get from your diet,then they are a good idea. My daughter is veggie,but she is a bad veggie who doesn't really eat very well,so I make sure she has a vitamin every so often,probably just for my own peace of mind. She has a veggie Omega oils supplement. My Husband likes to take a multi vitamin too,as he works manually & as he is getting older,he is getting stiff joints - he finds that the vitamin he uses helps this. That said,I reckon a good,healthy,fresh balanced diet should cover most eventualities & give a body all it needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Don't take any. I occasionally think I should, so buy some but I never manage to keep it up for very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I generally agree with the theory that if you are eating a healthy, balanced diet then there should be no need for vitamins however, although I think I eat pretty well, I have recently started taking soluble multivitamins as I have caught one cold after another and feel generally rubbish - I figured they might help in some way I chose the soluble ones as it also makes me have an extra glass of water a day!

Lavenders_Blue Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I'm a veggie and take Omega 3 every day. I do have some multivitamins, but don't take them as a matter of course, usually only if I've had a rubbish eating day and am likely not to have got all the vitamins and minerals that I need from my food. But as a rule, I think a balanced diet should provide you with everything you need without the need for supplementation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counturchickens Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 My Dh takes all sorts, I call them his placebos I don't take any, neither of us get colds and flu very often. I put this down to working out in the garden a lot and eating all the veg. In fact, I used to get lots of colds in the winter, but not since we had an allotment. Also, we drink plenty of red wine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I don't agree with anything like that. They weren't around yonks ago, so why now? I'm a firm believer that we can get everything we want from our food. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
