Answer 1

Vitamin supplements are known to have almost no therapeutic effect on most people. If you look carefully at modern packs they either may make no health claims or say 'might or may'. This is because they are no longer allowed to legally make unsubstantiated claims.

In general we cannot make use of more than optimum vitamin intake. If the vitamins are water soluble excess is peed out, though in the case of Vitamin C, for which many claims have been made for huge doses over the years, one study has suggested an INCREASED cancer risk in doses over 500mgs/day! If the vitamins are fat soluble they can accumulate and cause toxicity. This is most likely with Vitamin A, which can produce eye damage and vitamin D taking very high daily doses of vitamin D over several months can cause toxicity and a high calcium level in the blood.

Early symptoms are loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting, followed by excessive thirst, weakness, nervousness, and high blood pressure. Because the calcium level is high, calcium may be deposited throughout the body, particularly in the kidneys, blood vessels, lungs, and heart. The kidneys may be permanently damaged and malfunction. As a result, urination increases, protein passes into the urine, and the level of urea (a waste product) increases in the blood. Kidney failure may result.

Zinc should never be taken without evidence of deficiency again because high levels are toxic.

No, these are just general vitamins.

Get some exercise, walk instead of taking the bus, how is your sleep patterns? dont drink any caffine drinks after 7pm, are you eating mainly junk food. There are many things that can make you feel tired and lethargic.

Answer 4

You will be the one to answer your question. Do they help you feel more energetic?
Something with a high level of "B" vitamins help people with high stress levels in their lives. Some herbs (ginseng, ginko biloba, garlic...) help also. Depression usually requires removing the cause of depression from your life or getting some professional help.

Answer 5

Vitimin B's and a Magnisium supplement work for me.Also watch your simple carbs.When you eat them,when your blood sugar drops you feel tired.Look for foods with a low Glycemic index.

They might. Try exercising regularly. Herbal teas would also be effective. (If I remember correctly, green tea has something in it similar to caffeine but without the crash afterwards.)
