I want to know about Vitamins Dietary Supplements are bad or good for health??

My husband can't take any vitamins because of FDA. Because he is under Military. He don't want to kick out of military for Urine Positive of Vitamins Supplements. Also Athletics Can't take them either.

I had been take a vitamins since I was teenager. I found it out Vitamins A aren't good for my liver. Huh??

My sister in the law. She is Anti-Medicine! She do rather take a vitamins supplements. She was criticize on me taking a Centrum Dietary Supplement with Zinc for my colon. My doctor gave me a vitamins. My sister think it's bad for me. I was nodding at her. She isn't my herbalist!

I don't like to take a medicine unless I have a surgery or sick and need to stop get pain.
 
i MUST take medicines for my blood and my thyroid period
sometimes i take vitmains for my mental health i suffered from depression
 
I used to take vitamins daily in the past, but not now.
 
I only take medicine for thyroid 30 minutes before breakfast rest of my life.

Why should I take vitamins supplements when I know there´re plenty of vitamins in fruits, vegetables, milk products and lean meats?

You raise a good point, but some people (myself included), need to take a supplement in addition to the food they eat. It depends on each person, though.

I am deficient in iron and folic acid, so that's why I take a supplement daily.

I take a combination multi vitamin/mineral supplement every day. :)
 
Many of us don't follow food pyramid guidelines as it seems unreasonable to eat that quantity of food. Thats where supplements come in to ensure we have what we need without eating as much.
 
I voted none of above, I would vote "Rare use medicine or vitmans", I don't want use the medicine or vitmans too much because I don't want to be dependence of those, but I respect people's choices. I do use medicine for depression, and when I get the sinus I tend to get the cold and cough medicine. Sometimes I took the sleep pills too, but not very much. My parents love the vitmans, they took like 5 or 6 vitmans pills a day!
 
I can understand why some people are anti-medicine. From one's perspective, particularly if you are young and healthy, it may not seem necessary to pop multi-vitamins and other supplements that are allegedly good for you.

The manufacturers of supplements are also a multi-billion dollar industry, and not everything they sell works and/or may provide very little benefit compared to prescription medicine.

I also don't like the idea of relying too much on doctors to fix problems, unless it is necessary. I know people who are in their 30s, yet they're taking more prescription medicine than my mother.

The only supplements I take is multivitamins, because I needed something to help me get through the busy day.
 
I take Multi Vitamin +Minerals, Extra B complex, Extra C

Also Zyrtec for allergies

I have an asthma inhaler also

These are all recommended or prescribed by my doctor.
 
That's interesting to know what you are taking.

My sister in the law drove me nuts about medicine is bad. I am not buying her story. I need the medicine for my pain stop from doctor.

My family physical doctor found it out that I has a liver spot. It scared me. I will take a CT Scan on Sept. My professional doctor for liver. He ordered me to stop take a birth control pills due to liver. I am not sure about vitamins A isn't good for my liver either. I need the vitamin A and lutein for my vision. That's so suck!

AD doesn't need to know what meds I'm on and I don't intend to share it.

I am not talking about medicine's brand and RX. It's private. I am talking about medicine for health and Vitamins for health need by doctors. I don't need to know everyone's medicine brand that all. The reason why I made a thread because I read about vitamins and medicine's effect and warning. It's confused me. I want to be open mind and discuss. I read the library book about vitamins and mineral isn't good for liver. And other person said can't take a vitamin A because it will cause damage the liver. I was alike huh? You know what I mean?
 
Still. You don't need to know what I take and what for. I take a variety of meds. That's all anybody needs to know.
 
i take a multivitamin, zinc+magnesium tablets daily
one of the reasons is that in the days of pollution, and polluted soils - crops of food does not contain as much minerals goodness to produce the same amount of vitamins as it did before, on top of that we need even more protection against airbourne and disgested free radicals that contribute to the causes of cancers.

Coffee is also a great source of anti-oxidition. Recently Vit D is discovered to be a very good source to protect against colon cancer as well as skin, bone disorders and it helps to transport Vit C arond the body. So when you starts to see Vit C+D pills , its worth it. chances it will be initally expensve at health stores untill it goes mainstream, will be cheaper/normal priced.

We still cant beat fruits but it has it to be fresh which is also why we started to rely on pills because it lasts and cheap, i didnt need to say that but nevetheless, vitamin pills is made to specification for a level of appropriate amount of vitamins/mineral we actuallty require to function our body properly against illness.
 
I don't believe in things that I have to take constantly because my body would develop a dependability on it and something could go wrong if I stopped taking it.

For instance, people who take Asprin daily will develop good blood flow in their bodies. However, when they stop taking it after years and years of daily consumption of it... their hearts could suddenly stop after a few days.
 
That's true. Same thing with my husband. I don't understand why my sister in the law bought for me?? Geez! I have my own medicine from doctor gave me a medicine. Asacol is my treatment for my UC.

Not really a good idea as this product would only cleanse your bowels, nothing more - something like a bandaid, temporary relief type of thing. You need to see a doctor to get right to the root of the problem. In most cases, prescribed medication is the only way to traet it, alternative remedies tend to be fads and have no treatment properties. Use these type of products as a preventative instead. Good Luck!
