Thread: Whats's your guys input on daily vitamins?

I am pro-vitamins, personally.

Also, those are some puny supplements, but three miles and some beginning weight lifting probably doesn't call for anything more severe.

No one needs to take any supplements in order to get in shape.

Protein powder, creatine, whatever else are all just a big racket. Unless you are a top tier pro-athlete, you don't need any more protein than what you get out of food.

All-natural peanut butter and the like can be your "protein supplement."

Special vitamins or whatever won't do shit for you.


Now in terms of taking vitamin pills in general, I don't know. Most physicians still recommend them, but in research there's doubts as to how well the micronutrients from vitamin pills get absorbed from the body. Some research suggests that really you need to get micronutrients out of regular foods for your body to absorb them properly.


Still... I'll probably take vitamins anyway. I keep forgetting to take one in the morning...
