I just read that vitamins should be taken in food  

I take food suplements to my normal meals as I'm aware that I wasn't getting enough vitamins in my food. Vitamins can have side effects if overdosed. I'm on something called Hair,nail and skin formula and I bought it in drug store. Since I've started taking it I feel much better, I'm more active person, not so tired and sleepy. Vitamins are good for. Of course it would be perfect if you could get them ALL and in good quantities in your normal food but I think that would be quite hard.

i dont regularly take vitamins. actually, i rarely take one and only because my husband remembers and forces me to take vitamins. i am one of those who believe that you will get the right vitamins and nutrients if you eat a balanced diet.

Vitamin capsules and pills are food supplements. It is not use as replacement of food. You really still need to eat the right food like fruits and vegetables to fuel or refuel our body energy. It doesn't mean you are taking all the vitamins and minerals by means of capsules, you do not need to eat. Some of these capsules are synthetically made, so our body still needs the natural and raw fruits and vegetables.

I take vitamins along with my meals. I take vitamin B6, One A Day Women's, vitamin C 500, and my Premarin tablet once a day, which is not a vitamin but it's for my hormones. I also take Fosamax once a week because I'm at risk for osteoporosis. The doctor didn't tell me to take these vitamins but she did tell me to take the Premarin and Fosamax. I also try to eat a high fiber diet all the time. I take the One A Day Women's Calcium tablet and the vitamin C 500 because I have a lot of trouble with urinary tract infections all the time. I think it's interesting that your sister is a scientist.

I know what you mean. I also believe that it has something to do more with the food that we take through our mouth. I also dont buy supplements like vitamin C but we have more natural food supplements made by my mother in law. The ingredients are all natural and it doesnt have to undergo processes that will denature the vegetables so I think its really good.

I've been reading a lot on how the whole vitamin industry is a scam. You don't really absorb the vitamins. You just pee it all out.

Vitamins, proteins . fact and all these are very important for the growth a person. I think all these will get from our food items. No need of vitamin pills to take. The if we need please contact a doctor , doctor will guide you for proper treatment and healthy food items. all kind vegetables , eggs and milks and fruits all very important

I use to take a multi-vitamin everyday. However, they became to expensive and so I decided to eat healthier. I eat at least 3 to 4 fruits and at least 2 to 3 veggies all in one day.
