Vitamin supplements: good or bad?

A documentary film was shown in German tv refuting the good effects of taking vitamin pills.

While the most popular supplements were cod liver oil and multivitamins, it's sales of 'mega-dose' vitamin and mineral products that are growing fastest, with some manufacturers reporting an increase of more than 20 per cent in the last three years. Colin Brennan

That we need vitamins is not in dispute. Vitamins are a small group of substances that are essential in tiny quantities for growth and development. Most of them cannot be manufactured by the body and must come from our diet.

The apples contained many other naturally occurring chemicals in addition to vitamin C, including antioxidants called flavanoids and polyphenols that are thought to protect against cancer.

This meant that eating a small apple (100g) gave an antioxidant effect equivalent to taking 1500mg of vitamin C â€" and you'd have to take a mega-dose supplement to achieve that.

Dietitians, nutritionists and other experts are all agreed that apart from small groups of people in special medical circumstances, most of us don't need to take vitamins or food supplements. We can get what we need from a balanced diet.

‘It has been discovered that these foods contain far more than the classic vitamins and minerals we all know about. They contain many other plant substances, known as phytochemicals, which can’t be put in a bottle or made into a pill.’

dili man ko tig-tan aw ug tv, apan gabii, dihay extensive survey among sports enthusiasts to train and take vitamin pills ( of course there was a control grop) it was a surprise that those who took vit pills got muscle pains.
At the other survey in the UK, those who took vitamin pills had shortened their lives.

Those who propagate to take vitamins ( nutrionists, doctors and professors) were mostly working for the big multinationals like BASF and Roche.

so the rule is go for foods in its natural form.
