Do you take them?

I used to take vitamins pills when I was in my teens and early twenties... I used to think if I took a vitamin pill then I would have all the vitamins I needed for that day and therefore it then didn't matter what I ate for the rest of the day??? I'm laughing at myself now. Now I ate a good diet and don't need any vitamin pills. Anyone else do that when they were younger or do it now??

I eat a very healthy diet and never eat fast foods but I still take a one a day supplement as even the best choice of food does not give you everything your body needs. My doctor agrees.

Hehe i can see the logic there, not sure it works like that though!! lol The only thing i take is cranberry extract as i used to be very prone to water infections and cranberry juice helps but i can't stand the taste so they're the next best thing!! I try to make sure i get all the vitamins etc i need in a day by eating sensibly!! xxx

I consider my diet to be pretty well balanced so don't take vitamins at the moment. I do go through occasional phases where I will take them for a month at a time but I never seem to stick with it.

i'm a girl at the age of 18, and i'm also eating vitamin now. i think it do us good more or less. as i'm studing in school far away from my home now, i dont have many chances to eat fundamental nutritive food, so having vitamins everyday can make up the nutrition still need.

Hey Anne Sure I did that when I was younger then stopped for years. I have been getting dizzy spells lately and am wondering if I am lacking something so might put myslef on a course of vitamins until I figure out what is causing it. I had my blood tested for iron but it appears to be ok, I dunno, who know's?

I'm sure I need to take vitamins. But, I don't like taking pills. Sometimes I have trouble swallowing them. Sometimes I take them when I'm not eating very good. But I usually don't.
