Vitamin Supplements

[JS1902]

Is there any benefit to them?

I was taking 1000mg of Vit C, 1000iu Vit D and a general Multi vit from Boots daily. I now take them every few days, can't say I've noticed a difference. I was actually deficient in Vit D in a 2019 blood test but that's all good now.

I take Alpha Man from MyProtein.

I'd say I can notice when I have been off them a few days, I'm also Vit D deficient .

A good diet should cover most bases, I take vitamins d through the winter, and b12 cos of meds I'm on, and magnesium for enhanced sleep.

I take a Vit D supplement as was lower than ideal based on my last blood test but haven't taken a multi vit in years. I think part of the challenge is knowing what you are deficient in e.g: Zinc,Magnesium, Iron etc

I take multivitamins daily and Glucosamine specifically for joint pain in my knee.

Not sure on the Multivitamins but the Glucosamine makes a big difference, i forgot to take it for a few days running a month ago and I really noticed the difference, as soon as I started again the pain subsided considerably althoguh it's never completely gone

I'm looking at taking some regular vitamins, currently take D through the winter but thinking of going for vit B and Omega 3 also. I was considering glucosamine due to old joint injuries but I think there is a chance that can raise cholesterol? Anyone know if Magnesium works for shift workers for sleeping? Male, 40, fairly fit (regular exercise).

Unless you have a shocking diet you should be OK for the main vitamins. I take vit d because that's hard to get from food and any significant time outside ill generally wear sunscreen. I also take omega 3 because I can't stand fish.

Ultimately taking a multi vit everyday isn't going to do any harm either.
