    I thought I read somewhere that multivitamins don’t really do anything?

    If you have a good, balanced diet, probably not.

    Now, how many of us always have a good balanced diet everyday?

    Some of them are ridiculously expensive and I really don't believe you need them. I appear to be in the minority in this view, both here and at home.

    I was only joking

      Multivitamins and minerals combo pill in days when I don't feel my regular food intake gives me sufficient nutrients. Iron supplements because I donate blood several times a year.

        I figure the multi just couldn’t hurt. Kirkland so not expensive.

          I take a daily multivitamin. I have no idea if it does anything. Sometimes I see adds for probiotics (promote "good gut health"), but who knows.

          Multivitamin. Some extra Vit C in the winter.

          Probiotics work pretty well for some folks and are a must when you're on antibiotics. But they don't confer any lasting benefit when you stop taking them.

          Same, though Vitamin C throughout the year when I remember. LOL

          Vitamin D when I remember.

          Also take apple cider vinegar when eating (also when I remember)

          Agree with everybody that multi- vitamins may not too much. But, I dont think that they really will hurt you either.

              I’ve heard you should treat fish oil like a food. Make sure it’s high quality and relative fresh. Eat it with your meal (they say your body absorbs it differently vs taking it alone). Make sure the amount is high enough.

                  I eat loads of fish so I’ve never even given it thought.

                    Wow. Randomized placebo-controlled study shows significant memory and cognitive benefits of daily multivitamin use.

                      That's downright actionable.

                        I take a multi, CoQ10, fish oil, folic acid, a couple times a week I’ll take a B12,and a D3. The CoQ10 is due to statins and the folic acid to methotrexate.

                            If I had to give up one of my vitamins it would be that. I eat rather healthily and probably don’t need it even if it does work. The other stuff I have special reasons to need.

                                  I'm losing weight, so I have started taking collagen to keep skin more elastic.

                                    Good for you!

                                    I’m finally adding back the weight I lost in the last 6-8 months. Harder workouts, a med change to stop some GI issues that were affecting my ability to absorb nutrients, and more frequent meals are helping me. I’m up 10 lbs since April.
