There's a good chance I'm experiencing the placebo effect, but every time I take a vitamin I end up feeling more energized and alert.
Depends. Some are legit vitamins, someare fske and have little or no vitamins at all and are just filler.
Alternate title: "We Don't Know"

Thanks, no need to watch it now
Thanks. Won't watch the video now.
thanks I'm out
Thanks ♥
Where did this guy get Charlie Sheen's shirt
+DGAFSS Legend No shit sherlock
probably from one of Charlies prositutes.
He hasn't got it - I have !! It says so in the label on the back of me shirt !! Fraudster !!
James Bone i want one of charlies shirts
From the Charlie s Sheen museum in Vegas
I had low vitamin D levels (shown by blood test results). Supplements prescribed by my doctor raised them to normal.
My diet and lifestyle did not change much in the period between, so I think there's some efficacy in those at least - for me, anyway.
most of us are missing out on a few vitamins due to bad diets, therefore it seems like all these videos spread negativity about multivitamins when in reality they are what they say they are.. supplements... there not intended to be a full on diet replacement there merely to HELP our diets get the nutrients we need..... thats why i dont get why so many of these videos seem to talk negative about them.... all they do is HELP in reality... at least for me they did... same thing vitamin d
The vitamin d supplement was flowing through your blood and the blood test picked it up, unfortunately we don’t know if your body actually absorbs it; All because it’s in your blood doesn’t mean it’s being absorbed. I remember a study a while ago conducted found that like 20% of a supplement is actually absorbed. I’m not entirely sure though this was a while ago. I have a feeling we will figure out that we don’t absorb any in the future and supplement industry was a hoax. Hopefully not
What did you feel like when you were deficient by the Way? Did you notice a big difference in how. You felt? Sorry for asking I’m just. Really curious?
@@fadzilicious4411 Vitamin D deficiency has to be tested through blood serum levels. I'm on a supplement too...one thing I've become aware of recently is how few viruses I've caught in the last two years. Vitamin D deficiency can manifest in so many ways....my antidepressant might be working better too.
I have vitamin d3 deficiency and I hope they work
As a person suffering from ARFID (avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder) I can very confidently say that it is thanks to multivitamins that I'm still alive. I do not eat any fruit or vegetables, I do not eat meat (except bacon), I pretty much only consume dairy and grain. My blood works have always shown me to be quite health with no deficiencies (though I'm sure I'd be MUCH healthier with a proper diet). Thank you Vitamins!
dude I'm exactly like that
... wow. 26 years on this Earth and I always thought I was alone..... I tell people all the time that I have an eating disorder and that no one understands how I am even alive. Otherwise i am a fairly normal guy, so they never believed me when I tell them I live off pbjs, smoothies, dairy & snacks. The dietician I saw as a teen had no clue how my blood tests came back normal. You have finally given me the label to my disorder that I have been looking for for years. Thank you.
If your bloodwork was normal and you still decide to chug vitamin pills, congratulations on wasting your money.
Yeah and my piss cures ebola and cancer, wanna drink it now or do i have to double down on the claims
could have been the vitamin pills or the placebo effect.. yup.. could have been your mind making you sick and then healing you.. and then u took a big dump. what i said is gold except for the dump part
I had severe deficiency in both B12 and D and i was consuming fish, eggs and diary on a daily basis. B12 is mostly produced by the bacteria in our gut and most of us have really bad good vs bad bacteria ratio, so we're B12 deficient. And we only get D from sun exposure. Anyway, methylcobalamin B12 and vitamin D3 helped me tons - my motorics, muscle strenght and cognitive ability returned to the normal and i feel much better taking those 2 on a daily basis.
Anecdotal evidence. Can't conclude much from that.
JD works diff for everyone eat before you take it
@demi m jones and I'm just stating this probably shouldn't be interpreted as "they work"
I recently started talking vitamins and I feel better than I ever had before. It’s definitely doing something
Placebo effect
@@MrBLAA How can you prove that?
@@MrBLAA whats that
My Dad lived to be 94, he smoked a pipe chain smoked incessantly, i could barely breath when i visited, he ate the nastiest greasiest meats, sat and watched TV did not exercise, ate cooked green peppers and onions and no other fruits or vegetables. i had a friend who ate right, exercised right, and died in his 40's!!! sooo, hereditary factors and "lifestyle" factors of those under a study NEED TO BE DETERMINED! IT IS LIKELY that pill poppers are couch potatoes and fruit/veggie eaters have dynamic, not static, lifestyles - what we inherit internally and learn environmentally. do NOT Trust Studies if you have Not Examined that STUDY!
Jar Dolph
Yeah, some people were born with better genetics than others. For example, some people of Western African ancestry have a heart gene that gives them a more efficient and healthier heart, while certain people of Nordic ancestry have more efficient cell replication which allows them to age slower than other Caucasians.
"while certain people of Nordic ancestry have more efficient cell replication which allows them to age slower than other Caucasians", I am 62 and I look 45, I can stand out in 14 degrees F in a t shirt comfortably, 1/2 hour after a shower/bath, if I wipe my forehead, you can see the yellow oil that came out of my pours. so, yes,, genetics play a role in many things,

Actually, that thing with sweating heavily after taking a shower happens to everyone. After you take a shower you take all the oils off your skin. Your skin detects this as abrasion or you interacting with a fluid that strips oils. Either way, your skin over produces oil to try to protect itself from whatever took oil off your skin. If you do an activity that will make you perspirate then your body will add oil on top of that, making you sweat even more. That's why if you do something like sports or manual labor you find that the more someone tries to dry off sweat with something abrasive like a rag the more they will sweat excessively. Our ancestors ra rarely had this problem because they didn't often use soap (that did indeed exist in certain cultures), so they would have microbes on their skin that would deal with excessive oil and also the smell of sweat. It actually takes several days to replenish this bacteria after you shower, which is why people smell impeccably rancid when they fail to shower daily, or at least between periods of high physical exertion.
I take multivitamin chewable gummies every single day. They made my hair, nails, skin, and even my mood noticabily healthier. Made my hair thicker. And I also noticed that when I get sick (coughs or colds) I'm not sick for very long. I never get the flu anymore, which i use to get every year. They do work, if you take them as often as the bottle says.
We take them to convince ourself we are looking after our bodies and so don't need to eat fruits
or vegetables lol
have you ever tried a good salad? trust me, a home made salad can taste like the bees knees, and can get those bonuses, especially if it's all home made. or at least, as home made as you can get, buying food from a supermarket in your respective country.
whatdacurl94 why don't you go out there and eat your fruits and vegetables and work out and stop being a little bitch. You always looking for the easy way out
whatdacurl94 Ignore him. Judging by his comment, he clearly works out his body and not his mind.
the last 7 seconds of this video were very weird and creepy
cris z right 😂😂
35-40 year old dude considering himself a boy with a "twinkle"... Yes, VERY weird.
Hi, I have a question:Why humans can't shake as fast as cats, dogs do? I always wonder, if I can do so, I may not need a hair dryer
My guess is it's less a matter of how fast we shake and more about those animals having short fur. But I'll add this to the list and maybe we can find some scientific research with an answer!
Probably you need to walk with your hands first.
I don’t know about you but I be shaking pretty fucking fast
It’s pretty normal for us to shake as fast as cats or dogs...you might wana get that checked out bud
For example i have crambs in my legs when I do intense exercise, but if I take a suplement of magnesium I don't. So what you're saying is wrong. Btw it is not placebo effect because I tried other supplements before and it didn't cure the crambs
“It’s no placebo because I say it isn’t” lol
@@LouisKing995 what? I gave examples and it is not proven to be placebo. A testimony is a valid argument
Fernando Sousa Your anecdotal examples do nothing but display how placebo works. More than 15 studies by 2013, like countless more since then, and none of shown how supplements can ease crumps or any other condition UNLESS you have a chronic lack of said nutrient, like iron, which most people do not. You’ll need to show me a study which shows that Magnesium can cure crumps otherwise you just have an anecdote that is mostly likely explained by placebo. Personal experience really doesn’t matter beyond just you.
@@LouisKing995 of course that the supplement is only effective when there is a lack of what is being supplied i never said otherwise. you are generalising and being really aggressive and ypur point is lost on that build up anger. People can have an healthy diet and lack some nutrients because of poor absorption by the body and in those cases supplements are necessary. I had cramps and my doctor after testing did prescribe magnesium as a treatment. It is dangerous to generalise as you do. More important than studies people should be treated individually and with doctors, not on RUclips.
A life lesson to you: learn to be nicer
Fernando Sousa Aaaaah there you go, you see you didn’t say your doctor prescribed it, you just said you started taking it. You should have mentioned that originally otherwise it just sounds like you tried it willy nilly.
I used to get sick every winter multiple times and started to take vitamin C and have been taking vitamin C for about half a year and while everyone around me has been sick at least once I havent got sick yet. it might be luck but i doubt it
Did you see how he handled vitamin A using the state of being a smoker to imply the same effect in increasing cancer in non-smokers.. I mean personally I’m not a smoker so why would that evidence matter to me ?
Please, provide the PubMed numbers of the research papers that you are talking about.
My question is? Does someone eating: one pack of top ramen noodles, one bologna sandwich, one glass of kool-aid and maybe a TV dinner a day for a month, need a multivitamin? A very broke persons diet, might I add. I think most of us have been broke like that before. This is why I would use a vitamin, there is plenty of times the money comes in, than I buy nice foods and do away with the suplments all together. Someone should totally make a video on this. 😂
This is what always annoys me and these Vitamins Are Bad videos.
Yes I'm sure you can get everything you need through a varied diet but most people don't have the knowledge, money or time to do that.
A multivitamin insures you're not deficient in anything.
And honestly I can't imagine why Vitamin C in an orange should be any different than Vitamin C in a tablet beyond devine intervention
I'm so conditioned to take my vitamins everyday because I don't eat enough food and worry that I don't consume enough vitamins and nutrients. It'd be a great experiment for my next fasting blood lab to quit taking my vitamins. Maybe I should check with my doctor first!! 🤔
I want to know if it's better to crush up the vitamins & snort it , or just take the pill as is....? Thanks
wtf hahah
inject it in your heart
My body is sensitive to a lot of foods so I don't eat enough of the things I need, I was also born with a low immune system, there's not a day I remember where I'm not sick, ever since I started taking multi vitamins it's improved a lot of things for me, I don't get random organ pains anymore and I have energy and sleep better, I also don't get sick as often. They work for me ^^
does this mean taking prenatal vitamins are pointless for pregnant women?
I want some vitamin pills but my mom doesn’t allow me to have it and say i need to eat fruit and greens. I don’t like greens pears are okay to me
But i don’t wanna eat alot of fruit so i want to get the pills, i hope they have them in denmark.
I like the "just eat a balanced diet". People most of the time do not agree on what is balanced or healthy.
Nah bro, you want to do something easy to improve your health that just takes a second to do? Just eat a balanced diet, it's literally that easy. Wait, you want to take a multivitamin AND eat a balanced diet? How could you do this? Just eat a balanced diet, you cannot possibly both eat a balanced diet and take a multivitamin!
I am 39 (40 this year) and due to financial constraints my diet and lifestyle has been sub-optimal
I have had: aching joints, bones and muscles, what felt like the onset of plantar fasciitis, total lack of energy, depression, anxiety, insomnia, low sleep levels, excessive sweating and flaky skin
It has only been a week since I started to take:
Cod liver oil 500mg
High strength vitamin D
Multivitamins with iron
(All from Tesco [a UK supermarket], and Tesco branded)
But I have started to feel more energetic and my feet aren't hurting as much
I appreciate it will take several weeks to feel the full effects, but signs are looking promising
Yes, they DO work providing you take a good quality supplement. Grabbing a standard, commercialised multi vitamin off the shelf in a supermarket store isn’t likely going to produce any good effects. You’ll have to look into things a little deeper I’m afraid and most likely spend a little more (you really do get what you pay for).
For example, a fair few vitamins and minerals compete for absorption and some help aid absorption. For example take calcium and zinc. Zinc can’t be absorbed when taken with calcium and vice versa. However vitamin C helps with absorption of zinc. That’s why when I see a multi vit with ‘300mg calcium and 15mg zinc’ in the same tablet I laugh to myself because you won’t gain any benefit what so ever.
B vitamins for example, you want the Methylcobalamin type of B12 - NOT the Cyanocobalamin B12, this is the shitty manmade version and does not absorb well at all and I can guarantee that 90% of off the shelve, commercialised multi vits/b bits contain the Cyanocobalamin type. I guarantee it.
Also, any mineral that ends in ‘ide’ (oxide being the main one) throw them in the bin. Useless. Anything that ends in ‘ate’ (citrate, gluconate, glycinate, piconilate) is good and absorbed much better and naturally.
And lastly, even if your diet is perfect, the quality of soils and meats nowadays impacts the nutrients. Soil is depleted of magnesium and zinc for example. Most farmers have to feed their livestock ‘magnesium bullets’ as the soil just doesn’t provide it anymore. It’s always worth popping a good quality multi vit to fill the gaps.
What's a good brand that doesn't contain any synthetics like that "Cyanocobalamin" which I read is actually Cyanide? I did read that "Methylcobalamin" is most effective and best. And what amount of mcg is recommended?
I take a multi vitamin and b vitamin complex but I'm a vegan and I need to supplement. I think it helps me personally
And where do they come from haha vegan :D
I REALLY WANTED TO HEAR MULTI-VITAMINS WORKED
I came here to say yes they do work because when I had a blood test done I had to explain the high amount of vitamin d was because of the recommend supplement from my doctor
I suppose Multivitamins do have a fairly great effect: the Placebo effect, which, of course simply means that since you think you're going to get healthier by taking certain vitamins, you will, at least, unless you overdose etc.
good video to open the mind of people who don't question if they actually work. but even if they didn't work they still can serve to give this placebo effect. the mind is powerful, and the thought or belief that one took something that does good to the body could actually be very beneficial :D
I am type 2 diabetic so what I eat is very limited so I take pretty much everything in the vitamin isle in the supermarket. When I hear things like this it makes me question if theres anything I can do. I already went from 260 down to 180 and that wasn't enough to be truly heathy so I take the vitamins and cross my fingers and hope that they will help.
In this BrainStuff - HowStuffWorks video, Jonathan answers the question: Do you actually need to take #vitamins everyday to be healthy?
The moment I take these "Alive" gummy vitamins you made fun of I feel more energetic and could sustain that energy throughout the day
Thank you BrainStuff for helping me sound smart in conversations. These videos are highly informal.
Glad to hear it Sean!
+Toyoku Kuriyama -
Well.. it's only been 5 months..
I'm sure they'll get round to it.
+Angel Wins There's more to it then whats said, it sounds good but i could make corrections virtually every 5 seconds
Neo I literally posted that comment nearly 2 years ago .-.
Informal is not the word for what I think you were trying to say. Then again the speaker is dressed pretty casually.
I believed what you said about multi-vitamins being unnecessary - then I got Multiple Sclerosis - not all because of lack of vit. D, but it is substantial component. I could hardly think, or speak and lost my ability to walk. Giving gov't accepted health advice is dangerous. They lie about fluoride, chemtrails, vaccinations, and so much more. Be responsible!
Rebecca - did u check your b12 levels ?
Do you actually need to take vitamins everyday to be healthy?
Since this is such a divisive topic can we get direct links to the data/articles in the video's info? Keep up the great work everyone!

Can you help me, there is a huge trend of "natural" suplements,
They claim that their pills are made of actual dried fruits and vegetables, but there are about 50 vegetables in a tiny pill, they ave hug amounts of vitamins but does this difference actually matter?
If i show the people that there is so much reasearch against the use of supplements, they say but "our supplements are different, because they are "natural". :(
Can you please help me ? It is like a sekt! /watch?v=hX_Oq4-_fs4
(even with a snowball financing system O.o)
For me the takeaway is 2:22-2:32: they're insignificant.
And... Ironically I see all kinds of vitamin suggestions under your video
The problems mentioned in the second half of the video with the vitamins are true whether you take a pill or eat food containing it. This is not an issue with the vitamin supplements, it is an issue with taking the proper vitamins in the proper amount.
Also, according to Vitamin D specialists, the FDA requirement is too small and it should be increased; especially during pregnancy and while the baby is growing.
I feel better when I take Centrum every night. So ... I'm just gonna keep on taking it.
Roger Levy placebo
@@garvinjoseph5131 But placebo works? The placebo effect is healthy. He does definitely feel better. He has no reason to stop if he's benefitting from the placebo effect, and not "saving money" is not a reason, supplements cost less than a dollar a day and the placebo would be well worth it.
@@dirtydan2721 damn 2 years ago I forgot about this, umm you ever watch a movie called matchstick men. A lot medical companies practice placebo effects on things. The marketing and words make you think it’s doing something.
In combination with a balanced diet..yes they help in my experience..I noticed a difference in my gut health
As a woman with heavy periods iron really helped me. I did a blood test and I was severely anemic
Being a nutritionist i would say most of the vitamins & minerals you get should be from real whole foods cut out the junk & sugar wait a couple weeks you will notice alot of benefits!
Wow, I always suspected but wondered if vitamins actually did anything. Odd Question, why do MDs subscribe prenatal vitamins to pregnant women? Is that not doing anything? More questions than answers...
Some supplements are made to work, others may not. Look for the ones that have gone through studies/Clinical trials, or ones that have been made/found to absorb better.
This guy on the video doesn't completely know what he's talking about.
vitamins work better if you chop them up and snort them.
Is that true or a joke because I just want the facts?
@@jermainejackson9787 sarcasm dude
Gel Pills work best, next is the powder in the shell pill, next is the solid. With them most pass threw your system before they are opened to get them in the stomach.
Placebo Effect is damn powerful .... !
One big thing this video leaves out is that vitamins that come in pill form are generally different from the natural ones. Think of it like this. If your body needs left hands, the ones that can be synthesized into pill form are right hands. They look very similar, and both are called hands, but it's the biggest reason why consuming hands in pill form doesn't help, and often hurt, the body.
but nowadays they was the food is processed takes away alot of vitamins from food. it's hard to find the proper diet to get right vitamins your body needs.
because it's better to have it, then have not enough unknowingly :)
Do you think we're all eating plenty of dark green leafy veggies?? Cuz we r not.
I've got readings of before and after taking certain vitamins so are you saying all the medics and scientific research is pointless and futile?..
I'm so sick that I can barely keep a meal down without vomiting. Even if may not work for all, I need vitamins considering I can barely eat.
rip
free vitamins in fact are absorved differently from vitamins in food, because in food there is other elements that help with absorption. Nevertheless, multivitamins have does same elements that help with absorption. So saying that ingesting only vitamin C by itself is different that saying you're ingesting a multivitamin
I'm a big science lover, but I don't know if I totally trust this information.
I go to Stanford Hospital, one of the top hospitals in the U.S., and they prescribe me a multivitamin, Vit D and Calcium. It would seem that a prestigious top medical school would not prescribe vitamins if it were bunk.
Answer: Yes but actually no
I had to go to the ER twice with whole body cramped muscles and palpitations. They gave me fluids thinking maybe Dehydration. After a few hours of getting blood tests they stopped the fluids and had me drink this horrible salty orange flavored stuff. The fluid was making it worse because I had very LOW Potassium. Fluids were diluting it worse. So had to stay for 4 hours until the level got back to normal.
But I also had too much Vitamin A. The "multi" vitamin I was taking for help with energy was labeled completely wrong. It was mostly dried Sweet Potato or Potato Root and none of the other stuff on the label. It raised my A levels too high and dropped my Potassium. I avoid vitamins now and read foods, it's way better than dying because a company was saving a few cents a bottle by substituting or even having nothing of what they claim, using possible dangerous fillers.
Thanks, but after watching this I could have just read an article that said "no, deboonked!"
Vitamin D is VERY necessary for the vast majority of people. "The results for osteoporosis were not inconclusive" Yeah, okay buddy - vitamin D supplementation helps bone health, immune function, mood, and basically health in general. You have to take it at the same time you eat healthy fats like boiled eggs, fish, or eggs fried in butter - no trans fat.
After hearing you say anything about how vitamin D is not necessary I am doubting this whole video, especially since it sounds like you're just reading off some clickbait news article.
I will continue to take a generic vitamin supplement at breakfast since I'm probably missing some small vitamins in the correct amounts, I will probably get some minor benefit that's worth the effort of swallowing one cheap pill a day that your "studies" missed.
Believe it or not I can eat healthy meals while also supplementing for anything I may miss, this may blow your mind as a certified health professional but I can eat food and also take a multivitamin.
Every article or video I see says "bro just eat healthy you don't need a multivitamin" like none of us have ever considered eating healthy and we don't just want to improve our health in general. You might not need a multivitamin if you're a healthy person and eat nutritious meals? Okay, find me one of these "healthy people" who is not missing anything, I'll wait.
I used to take 1000% of B12 daily. I had an abundance of energy and my mood was fantastic! The downside is that it's not water-soluble so your liver has to work harder to get rid of excess. Everyone is different and 1/3 of all "recent studies" are later proved to be wrong, but there is seldom a big article proclaiming it to the world.
B12 is not fat soluble it is water soluble. I looked it up again. Still not good on your kidneys
Eating a balanced diet impossible here in the US. there's so many complicated preservatives in our food you need a 6 page flow chart just to eat a regular diet.
So my whole life is a lie?
Iv been taking a good few different ones for about 2 months now and I’m noticing a big difference in my mood. I just feel a lot better and I’m less anxious. I’m getting ran down a lot less often. For me they’ve become a must
The reason we still take them? Why do we buy diamond rings (something that has no quantifiable benefit in the first place). Because DeBiers, only about 75 years aho, started making ads that said a guy shoudl get a girl a Diamond Ring for an engagement AND wedding ring. So now, it is tradition that would be seriously frowned upon if a guy didn't do it. All of this came from advertising.
But, look at vitamins; something that is actually a health issue. We are told, through advertising, by scientists (why wouldn't we believe these people, they are smart, right?) that we need to take them, so we do. All because of advertising.
true. i'd probs get my fiancee a gaming style ring, like a gold triforce, without any diamonds, and she'd be happy.
Not to mention how much money is made from selling them. If nobody buy them, then it's a big financial loss for pharmacies.
No, were are NOT told this by "scientists".
We are told this by advertisers.
I was losing my hair. After taking zinc and b complex. My hair grow back.
My doctor give me Amlodipine for my hypertension. I refused to take it. Instead I take magnesium and potassium which stabilize my BP within a week. My doctor told me Mg and K aren't proven for hypertension. Ya! Right! They work for me and work well.
Huh... Shouldn’t this kind of stuff be easily measurable?
I took accutane for a few months and while on it I had to avoid vitamin A. Accutane is essentially high dose vitamin A and the amount in Accutane was already at the liver damage threshold. too many carrots and BAM, liver damage.
It is just crazy that Doctors do not get nutrition training in Medical schools.
Every doctor visit should include some nutrition discussion. The majority of the population is over weight or obese leading to high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer. Schools and hospital cafeterias should be leading the way to good health by setting the example of what is a healthy meal and teaching people what to eat and why.. Every person in the hospital for heart disease should have a nutrition class before being checked out from the hospital with follow up education and training in nutrition. Medicare and Medicaid should require patient nutrition education as part of their standard of care. Nutrition information should be run on the hospital TV channel.
The world is a scam
research flat earth
This was a good video but why do people always talk about health benefits purely in terms of "preventing cancer and heart disease"? That's a very narrow view on what being healthy means. What about organ, brain, heart and muscle function, hormone balancing, brain chemistry, cell reproduction, fitness, mood, bone health and general well being?
I always read the food lamps but it rarely ever mentions some of the vitamins that it is supposed to have or it has very little plus when you cook the food the nutrients go away
There was a period, when I was taking multivitamins. All I got was a rash. My dermatologist said to stop them immediately
So your folic acid point has evidence from a ten year old study at Harvard (6 years at the time of this video) yet your vitamin c point has zero evidence or validation? Who proved the pill form had less or no effects than the dietary form?
Me: doing research on youtube about vitamins
Video informing people about vitamins: make sure you do some research on vitamins
This video guy was only talking about synthetic vitamins and not whole
food vitamins. There is a big different between the two and our bodies
need more nutrients and vitamins than we think. We don't get enough even
from a healthy diet because most foods are not rich in nutrients
anymore.
I take multivitamins so my pee can glow like a radioactive isotope
Cool, isn't it? Especially when you don't flush in the middle of the night. :)
When 23andMe launched Wojcicki and Linda insisted that the information about genes was still not accurate to make a certain diagnosis. They began making a ranking with 4 stars for how good an article was.
We rely so much in what articles say because it is scientific and ethods are there, but wouldn´t it be necesarry to make a ranking ofr every article in the wolrd?
Our bodies can't tell the difference between vitamin c coming from something we eat and the one we get through a pill. Vitamin c has a molecular structure unique to it and that's how the body recognises it. This is true for all vitamins. The only reason you might be getting benefits from Vitamin c when your body gets it from something you ate is because what you ate contains other vitamins and minerals besides the Vitamin c.
You can't compare the results of a single vitamin with a multivitamin. Of course just a single vitamin while have low rates of absorption but in a multivitamin the story is different since there's other elements in the mix that change absorption rate
why doesn't anyone talk about if vitamins work like potassium which needs essentially an absurd amount ideally (like 10 bananas worth). So if I eat 4000 mg of potassium and then supplement it with 1000 mg would the vitamin help?
Whilst I appreciate there's an arguement to be had against a "more is better" approach when it comes to vitamins and minerals, is it not true to say that vitamins and mineral supplementation would at least prevent/ correct deficiencies in those areas?
Its true. Not all Supplements are Created Equal.
We need to ensure that this 5 Criteria are met
1. Complete
2. Balance
3. Potent
4. Bioavailable
5. Safe
They do. But there are alot of placebo or low vitamin, or cut with fillers pills sold, so not all work.
That's why you need whole food nutrition. As for the label on the product, it should have a "nutrition facts" label and not a "supplement facts" label. There are better ways to bridge the gap between your nutrition
Personally I think taking a basic multivitamin isn't a bad thing. Yes people can and do over do it. Since not everyone eats a healthy balance meal or can eat a healthy balance meal. It's better to be safe then sorry.
I had a vitamin d deficiency from my blood test. My doctor recommended to take vitamin d supplements. Next check up my D levels were normal. I’m just one person, but it’s something I guess
Only works if you have a deficiency that needs balancing. It'd be like taking painkillers without having any pain otherwise...
Dont buy that cheap farmacy vitamin stuff, unless it is a specific deficiency. One should consume the most absorbable forms and for that should look into iherb or Piping Rock. Folic acid is synthetic, its natural form is Folate, and to some people, folic acid just blocks the receptor from absorbing Folate. Also it has little effect without methylcobalamine. B vits work in synergy. Thats why they say you have to eat them fruits and veggies together with vits. But nowadays, we can buy them natural forms of vitamins and minerals. Depending on genetics there is a higher need for some mineral or vit, but if we live in a place that doesn’t naturally provides it, we supplement, ex: italians in Brazil lack magnesium which is abundant in Italy. Also processed food has little to none minerals and vitamins... and bad habits consume them too, like excess masturbation and drugs
Interesting. The last question "why do we take them?" is probably the most important part...
Deficiencies are real, so vitamins that address that do work.
How do multivitamins do not interact with each other chemically?
Coz I'd rather take them than not and suffer down the road? No way my diet covers all the bases.
Philson I stopped reading when you spelled cause as coz
obviously you read it, because you had to comment on his misspelling
dose he even know what he is talking about just this maby blablabla... there was almost no scientific substance in this video.
Hospitals, doctors offices and schools should be places where good nutrition is taught and provided not places that contribute to disease and obesity. It is crazy the hospitals are feeding people the very food that caused the heart disease, high blood pressure or cancer that they are treating. Every person in the hospital should receive some nutrition education before being released. Every doctor visit should be an opportunity to educate patients about how food choices impacts their health outcomes. The fact that doctors do not get nutrition training as part of their training makes no sense. Medicare and Medicaid should require nutrition education as part of patient care. Focus should be on food choices. Fasting should be investigated as a treatment for disease.

Efia Serwaa because it probably has biotin
every time i stick to my vitamins i feel a lot better than when i dont im living fact they work so eat all ur vitamin s
I can’t stomach sea food so fish is not now nore has it ever been part of my diet, same goes for milk. My father is lactose intolerant so we grew up with lactose free milk in my house. I myself am not lactose intolerant but I can only drink so much milk before it starts making my stomach feel uncomfortable. I don’t throw up or any of the other stuff but I just don’t drink a lot of it. I hate the sun and avoid it at all costs due to horrible migraines and easily to burn skin. So it comes as no shock that my vitamin D was pretty low on my blood work. Also I’ve never been a meat eater, I’m not a vegetarian or anything but I just have never had a taste for stake or any sort of red meat, not to mention my sensitive teeth don’t allow me chew tough meat down properly. I really only eat chicken, so my iodine is also pretty low. I just think that in this day and age almost no one can make sure they hit every recommended vitamin intake every single day for one reason or another. Busy life or medical reason, I don’t see why taking vitamins just to make you u get some sort of vitamins in your system as opposed to potentially letting something drop low to a dangerous level, is being discouraged.
My vitamins work. My favorite is polynerve for my carpal tunnel syndrome.
Heres a question how come i feel a feeling of being "high" when i eat alot of hotsauce?
We'll look into it, but off the top of our heads it might be an endorphin release from the hot sauce? We'll add this to our list so we can do proper research and cover it in the future.
BrainStuff - HowStuffWorks Oh please let me do this one!! I LOVE hot sauce.
Jonathan Strickland Done. Your name is added to it on the MASTER LIST.
This is the kind of information that kept me off vitamins years ago, don't pay attention to this video, VITAMINS DO WORK
Hmm I just bought them because I’m anemic and winter is coming and I just couldn’t be bothered to buy two separate pill containers when one container has both (Vit C, Iron)
