Your Daily Multivitamin Is Pointless, at Best

When the results of these studies came out, they largely refuted the idea that these supplements offered benefits. Vitamin E appears to have no impact on cancer or heart disease. Results from the Women’s Health Study, released in 2005, showed no relationship between vitamin E supplementation and overall mortality. Later results from the men in the Physicians’ Health Study showed the same: no relationship.
For vitamin D, the randomized trials (nicely summarized here) refuted virtually all of the purported benefits to diabetes, weight loss and cancer. For elderly women, there is some evidence of a small reduction in mortality with supplementation, but well below what was seen in observational data and only marginally statistically significant. … And it’s not just vitamins D and E. The Physicians’ Health Study also looked into vitamin C and a one-a-day multivitamin and found the same results: no impacts on cancer or cardiovascular disease.

I feel like I can recover from a sickness much quicker by taking vitamin C tablets. It may not cure cancer, but I'm sure these vitamins do have some sort of positive health effect.

Also, wearing pink doesn't do shite to help people with cancer. And people rarely stop raping because of a whistle.
It makes people feel better, who gives a shite?

I have said this for a few years. Unless you are diagnosed with a vitamin deficiency or have some sort of restriction on food which affects a specific vitamin, they are just piss highlighters

If a person has a shitty diet then how could taking vitamins not be a benefit? Unless the body doesn't need these vitamins after all
Posted on 9/11/14 at 9:50 am to RedRifle
I think vitamins are only beneficial if a person is on a specialized diet which causes them to have deficiencies of certain vitamins due to not being able to eat certain foods. Otherwise they are a total waste and the science has been there to prove it for a few years now. Its just another big money business trying to make everyone believe they need it.

Vitamins and supplementation is not meant to cure anything. Just like someone who lacks energy and needs boost will take B12, one person may benefit but another doesn't and says it doesn't work. All it means is one person was deficient in the B12 and the other wasn't. That's all vitamins should be used for, when you are deficient in something. You can become deficient many ways, whether it be sickness, dehydration, diet, etc. So a good multivitamin may be more beneficial for some people more so than others.

But what’s more, taking a daily multivitamin can actually backfire on those concerned with health. According to a 2011 paper in Psychological Science, people who believed they’d taken a vitamin were apparently so pleased with themselves for their efforts at health that they reported a greater desire to engage in more potentially harmful activities — like tanning, heavy drinking, or gorging themselves at a buffet — than those who hadn’t taken a vitamin. (In reality, both groups were given placebo pills.)

I take a multivitamin as well as 500mcg of Vitamin C daily for the last several years. I exercise a lot and eat fairly healthy, however don't really eat much fruit or veggies on a daily basis so feel like it's a good supplement. I haven't even hardly gotten a cold much less been sick since I can remember doing this.
It may not be a life changer and prob won't make you healthy if you're a fatty eating fried meals and fast food all the time, but it can't hurt and is very inexpensive.

This isn't true because micronutrients can act as rate limiting factors to muscle growth
no vitamins = no gains

In modern America there's basically zero reason to take a multivitamin. You're more likely to do damage than good. Certain rare conditions are the exception, but any doctor can tell you that.

Due to how commonly they're taken, it seems like there should be some scientific studies that can prove their effects or absence of
