Thanks for the recommendations Mary. I think what you say is right. If you are going to take supplements then supplements that contain real foods are your best bet. However, I still think that when it comes to vitamins you should be able to get most from your diet alone.

I did some research about to much vitamins
number one cause of side affects is people are taking snythatic vitamins
Synthetic vitamins do not perform the same functions in your body as vitamins found naturally in whole food
Many synthetic vitamins deplete your body of other nutrients and tax your kidneys before being excreted through your urine
Vitamins that are found naturally in whole foods come with all of their necessary components. The majority of vitamins that are sold in pharmacies, grocery stores, and vitamin shops are synthetic vitamins, which are only isolated portions of the vitamins that occur naturally in food.

If you choose to use nutritional supplements, it is in your best interest to use only those products that list actual foods as their ingredients rather than synthetic and isolated vitamins. whole food supplements that my family uses on a regular basis are from http://www.shaklee.net/thehealthyway

Hey Heidi – I know what you are saying. I never used to think about the vitamins pills I took. I would just wake up and take one each morning. However, after doing this research it got me thinking a little more about these vitamin pills and whether I need them. Looking at my current diet I think the answer for me is no and as a result I no longer take a daily multi vitamin.

Govindan – Exactly. Supplements are not a requirement. They should be used to cover up dietary deficiencies where necessary. If you eat a well balanced diet that is rich in whole natural foods you should be getting adequate amounts of most vitamins.

Healthy well balanced diet does not essentially require added supplements. “Supplement” the word itself says it all…………………….
