Are multivitamins a waste of money? Editorial in medical journal says yes
- joeldidit 13y agoMultivitamins of the right formulation (like Ortho-Core) are great, but I do agree, most multivitamin formulations are inferior or just plain shit. Eat right.
- pedalpete 13y agoUnfortunately, the actual study seems to be behind a paywall, http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=1789253 http://annals.org/article.aspx?articleid=1789253, but I think the concept of the study is flawed. I started taking vitamin supplements about a year ago, but I didn't do it with the idea that I'll live longer if I take them, just that I want to live that little bit better. Have a bit more energy, that kind of thing. I'm sure other factors in a lifestyle have a much stronger effect on mortality than taking a little pill. I think people have too many expectations of a miracle.
