If you have a good diet you don't need to waste money on vitamins.
Also if you have a crappy diet you don't need to waste money on vitamins because they are supplements not replacements.
All in all you don't need to waste money on vitamins.

Yes and no. If you eat the right foods then you are getting the vitamins you need. Some people do not heat the right foods and need the vitamins. Certain vitamins do certain things for you body that is why the are in the food we eat. Women and even men as the get older may need to take supplements for like joint stiffing because the fluids in the joins areas of the body do dry out. Calcium supplement for women because of osteoporosis. If you eat right it can't hurt. most vitamins are water soluble and are expelled from the body if not needed.

It depends. Stay away from synthetic vitamins. There is nothing found in nature containing 500 mgs of ascorbic acid. Focus on whole food supplements where there exists published research (in credible journals) of product efficacy. Anyone can make exaggerated claims or have some doctor "on the payroll" make a tesimonial. The real difference is in the PROOF.

Taking vitamins daily is only absolutely necessary when you don't eat properly. If you have a balanced, healthy diet then the vitamins are not needed. It is a good idea to take them anyway, just to be sure your body gets the best it deserves.

I never feel the difference myself. Personally, I think Vitamins are as big a scan as bottled water.

it is a controversy. i think not. but my bf took vitamins his whole life and is very healthy. at least they should work as well as a placebo i would guess. which is about 30% of the time.
