re: Do you think taking vitamins & minerals supplements does anything?

If my lab results say I am deficient in something important then, I take that vitamin or mineral. No point in paying for supplements you don't necessarily need unless, there is some benefit in doing so that is documented that you see benefit from. With that said I take Zinc, Boron, Vitamin B injections, aspirin, magnesium, and a probiotic each day from highly quality vendors like Seeking Health, Metagenics, etc. I have the MTHFR gene a double mutation and have regular labs done to monitor my levels as this gene does effect absorption. I OD'd on Vitamin D and had off the chart levels and that's not good either after being deficient for a long time so I'm off that for now. I'm also on all 3 hormones E, P, and T. At a certain age I decided to prioritize my health and make sure I optimize everything. Feel better now than I have in years.
