Do we really need to spend money on Vitamins?

In my honest opinion. No!!! If you don't agree. I'll ask you this question. Have you ever known someone dying because of not taking vitamins? Of course the vitamin companies what you to think, you do. And that is why they spend millions if not billions of money on advertising. To get you to think you need them. To be honest,,,I fell in this group, that believe them that I need to take vitamins. And I did take-fish oil, Vit C, D, Multi-Vit, Calcium, Glucosamine with Chondroitin, etc-etc. I did this for decades back when I was working in the US. Bros' when I retired and move back to the Phils. and ran out of Vits' that I brought with me. I went to the malls to check what it would cost me to replace my supply of beloved Vits. My jaw hit the floor:jd: the cost was in the thousands!!!!! And by the way I was forced to exercise because my asthma came back That is when I hit the gym!!! I was too old to start jogging at 58. So what the heck, build my old body so the chicks might take a 2nd look at me:biggrin: Well Bros!! It has been months that I haven't taken any Vits. And if anyone should feel and know the difference, that will be me cause I'm 61 years young. It did not make a difference in my workout. I can still lift the weights I lifted even without my beloved Vits. I just made sure I ate a well balance meal consisting of protein, vegetables, rice/carbs. And replaced my Vits with PM7 and about 4-6 tablespoon of pure wild Honey and black coffee as pre-workout go juice and I'm good to go. Now I want to clarify, that many on this board swears by taking Vits. My Brothers,,,that is absolutely fine and well as long as you need it and you can really feel the difference in the gym....I would rather have the beginners spend their hard earned cash on BodyBuilding supplements. Eat a well balanced meal and you satisfy your Vits requirements. Or go see a doctor and get tested for Vits deficiencies.
Sorry for the long post. I don't post much unless I could really provide wisdom/knowledge or experience.

Ako ang opinyon ko dito may purpose ang pagtatake ng multivitamins+minerals supplements. Specially during a cut, may mga tao na paulit ulit lang kinakaen day by day for some reason, or kung hindi araw2x nakaka kain ng gulay at prutas ang isang tao.
I agree halos hindi mo talaga mararamdaman yung multivits and minerals sa gym, but ako personally I don't take this for that reason, for overall health and wellness lang ito. Plus isa na din ito sa source ko ng Vitamin C.
Magkakaiba needs ng mga tao.
But I don't see this as a waste of money, I'm spending less than P3.00 per tab of Kirkland Multi, mas ok na kaysa ibili ko ng yosi.
Hehe.
But if you're sure that you get all the nutrients you need in your daily meals, by all means save that P3.00!
pero, oras nga mag gym minsan singit lang, un pa kayang oras mag luto ng pagkain na magbibigay sayo ng mahigit 20 na micronutrient at macro na papasok sa plan mo per day. hassle
We always have a choice naman to supplement with it or not heheheh.
ok lang kaya yung ginagawa ko na sabay sabay sila lahat bago matulog? (3softgel ng FO, 1 multiV at 1 Calcium/VitD) thanks
stack ko lang eh multi vits and fish oil.
hihihi same lang tayo nagdagdag lang ako ng para sa buto nag kakaedad na kasi hahaha
@allen101 thanks. naiisip ko kasi baka di uubra yung ganung sabay sabay
pero kung average person ka lang na limited ang kina kain mo araw-araw dahil nag titipid, tapos you spend most of your time sitting in the office and stressed ka pa palagi. I think it is essential you would include multivits in your diet para lang ma complete ang essential nutrients na kailangan ng katawan mo. if you don't, it can cause probs. in your body because you lack vit b, vit k or vit c - you get the picture.
good point para sa akin who feels the need pero cant afford to buy.
Excess vitamins will just be excreted through urine.
