OT -- natural vitamins

[Guest guest]

I can't take OTC vitamins, they upset my system. A few people have

recommended " natural " vitamins, but for goodness sakes, they're so expensive

-- as much as $100 a month!

 

What do you folks take?

 

I try to eat well, lots of fresh vegs and fruits, limited fat and almost no

sugar. I also take Calcium supplements already and they don't bother me --

it's just the multivitamins that tear up my system.

If someone has a mixed diet of foods drawn from a wide geographical

area, and is not suffering from a mal absorption syndrome, then

vitamin supplements are unecessary.

 

The vast majority of claims made for these supplements are NOT based

on sound research but on heavy marketing hype that has been accepted

as facts.

 

I am one of those who believe that if you cannot possibly get the

volumes of nutrients in these supplements via a good diet, then no

way can they be considered as " natural " even if the vitamin is

extracted from a natural source. In my eyes they should be treated

as drugs with appropriate trials.

 

So I suggest you spend your Dollars on a wide variety of good quality

fruits, vegetables and food herbs and you will get all you need.
