Do you Take Multivitamin Supplements

[GoldenTV]

I do eat alot of fruits such as apples, oranges, grapes and strawberry. And consume Yogurt, Fish, Chicken and Beef frequently. But still wondering is there is any benefits of taking multivitamin supplements also.

Did little of bit of research on available multivitamin pills on the market, and the consent seems to be that one should stay away from more popular available brands such as Centrum, Equate, Nature's Way or One A Day. They say it got too much fillers and use low quality synthetic vitamins that body will have hard time absorbing.

They say go for higher quality supplements from brands such as "Thorne" or "Garden Of Life" a they use higher quality ingredients. And of course higher price

I haven't taken a multivitamin in years. Too many fillers and the RDA is too high in some. Plus, my chemistry has changed, and I react to things differently.

You are definitely right that as we age, our body chemistry changes also. One of my friend recently end up in ER and after extensive testing, they found out (among other things) that he have extreme deficiency in Vitamin D and to lesser extend in minerals. That is why it got me thinking that maybe I should consider taking supplements

Companies also make chewable gummy vitamins if having hard time swallowing a pill. It tastes like candy

Do the gummies have bad stuff in them? (Sucralose,etc)

No, most of them have added real sugar to make gummies slightly sweet to chew on. But if you go with higher quality multivitamin gummies like the brand I mentioned above, sweetness of gummies comes naturally from organic fruits. Here is the list of full ingredient of gummy vitamins version.
