[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 114652, member: 15043"] I’m 31 and have taken multivitamins since I was 14, up until around a year ago. I figured out that it’s always better to get your vitamins and minerals from natural food based sources, and not synthetics. It seems obvious once you figure it out, but took me a long long time to personally see why synthetics are just never the way to go. Nowadays I just eat grass fed beef liver each morning. It’s basically “nature’s multivitamin”. Then I also take magnesium, vitamin D, K2, vitamin C and eat 2-3 Brazil nuts per day for the selenium. Then get the rest of my nutrients through food. Oh, I also eat some nutritional yeast each day which has a bunch of vitamins and minerals, mainly B vitamins. And if that still isn’t enough, you could always add in spirulina or wheatgrass powder, or both. But then you start getting into a cost vs benefit thing. I’d rather keep things simple and as cheap as I can. But I understand if convenience is a factor for you. It is for most people. But just know that a lot of the time you are doing more harm than good by taking so many isolated synthetic vitamins packed into one pill or capsule. Your body doesn’t know how to process synthetic vitamins, and they can have quite a few negative effects in the body. Also when vitamins don’t have their normal cofactors like they would if you got them from a food, they just don’t work the same. Nature knows best when it comes to nutrition. Like I said, took me years and years to learn this. [/QUOTE]
