Yeah, I agree. It's not just about the prevent of cancer or disease is why some we take them. I take them because my energy feels low without them. I work out 4 - 5 days a week. I eat really healthy, and my energy was still low. The vitamins make sure we get vitamins from areas that weren't reach from our diet. It's really hard to reach all vitamin needs from diet alone. The age matters too. When I was a teen - 25ish, I didn't really need them. But now that I'm older, my energy level doesn't feel the same.

They are missing the boat on vitamin supplements. I practice intermittent fasting and taking a daily multivitamin supplement is a way for me to achieve weight loss and still get the vitamins I need on a daily basis. The word here is SUPPLEMENT. So, depending on what your doing they can be a waste of money or they can be a necessity. I can only speak for myself but I do not eat a well balanced diet daily that will give me everything I need for my daily values. It says in the video studies have shown vitamins and supplements do not prevent cancer, heart disease or longevity. I don't take them for those reasons and I'm pretty sure there still is no cure for cancer last time I checked.

I don’t think it’s gonna sway anyone. Ironically I asked my doctor about the supplements I take and multivitamins. He didn’t find it to be beneficial. He said most people are getting the vitamins from the foods they eat. But he also added it won’t hurt to take the vitamins, but has doubt as to its effectiveness. He then said the one vitamin that most people tend to be deficient or low in is Vitamin D. So he recommends that. This didn’t sway me from taking my daily vitamins that I’ve been doing for decades.

You have to be conscientious of your diet in order to be getting all you need.

Also, most supplement brands are Not owned by pharmaceutical companies. Why belabor the point? There's no grounds for agreement. Also, there's a void in knowledge of the history of what has morphed into todays allopathic medical care establishment going back to the Flexner Report of 1910. The original goals of the Flexner Report are today the same as it was back then. To establish a medical care establishment that is most of all "expensive.". Why expensive ? Who would benefit from medical care being expensive ? Answer : the capitalist, free market profiteers (drug companies and medical device manufacturers) that corner the market on the products that they sell through legal monopoly practices codified by patent laws. This is the Peter Thiel path to wealth by forming a monopoly. Wealth creation via monopoly, Not free market competition. Or as Peter Thiel would put it, "competition is for loosers." Under this method wealth is created by the very few ( special interests.) at the expense of the masses that are meant to use the system. In this case, the health care system.

Hello, I understand your frustration for the lack of consensus within the scientific community on best health practices both in the Covid pandemic and with health recommendations like what vitamins to take. I wanted to bring to your attention a couple reasons why this is the case in hopes it will help you have a better understanding of where these recommendations come from. With something so important as the health of every individual and our community, the scientific community takes this responsibility incredibly seriously. Because of this, it can take a long time to come to a consensus about what is best. The human body is incredibly complicated, we are continuing to learn more about it each day that may contradict previously information. In the COVID pandemic, the desire was to get as much information as possible to the community. I suggest you think about it on the flipside, how angry would you be if the scientific community/government had some information that they were withholding from you because there was not enough research or information yet to make a consensus? Especially with research, it takes time to collect all the data, analyze it, synthesize the significance of it, and present it to the community. Our government was trying their best to share what information they had as quickly as possible. Regarding what vitamins to you should use, it is difficult to come up with a consensus because it is incredibly individualized. Different patient’s will require unique recommendations based on their diet, lifestyle, racial background, age, and health goals. The way research works is that they collected data on hundreds to thousands of individuals to make their recommendations. I would recommend you reach out to your primary care provider to discuss what vitamins would work best for you. Some vitamins may be unnecessary for you and a waste of money, while others can help decrease your cardiovascular mortality risk like a Niacin supplement.

Unfortunately, a lot of the vitamins on the market are synthetic so it doesn't support our bodies the best. I was so grateful when I found natural effective vitamins.
At least stop eating fake processed foods first. Personally I think 1 multivitamin from a generic brand is good enough. Don't blow your money on them.

Healthy organic Non-processed food, non-gmo is much better than supplements
Supplement vitamins
For example the covid and omicrone have been to as a virus across the country so taking multivitamins helps to conceive cancer..
If I don't take them I am lazy all the time.. so they clearly make a difference.. So I take them to live an active life.. These clowns telling you not to take them? I wouldn't listen to any of them.. You have to remember that Doctor's are usually eating so healthy that they wouldn't understand what the benefits are ..
This is why I use quantum biofeedback to figure out my deficiencies and dosages...without guessing on my own. Every scan is accurate and faster than a lab draw 💯💯
Ok, it is a supplement and most cost less than 1¢ per pill. Besides, who has time to make every meal look like a food pyramid?
She represents the people who make the vitamins. So her opinion doesn’t count because she would get fired if she said anything against vitamins.

Not one thing she says is unreasonable. Multivitamins do work. They "supplement" not replace the food.
