I already take a multivitamin and fish oil (for my heart). Is there a website out there that gives more detail regarding vitamins?

You should contact a Naturopath: http://www.naturopathic.org/, they can help with a complete diet and supplement plan. That way you don’t wind up with an imbalance or under dosage. Good Luck!

My mother says that I should start taking a daily multivitamin supplement every day now that I’m "growing" (I’m 25). Is it necessary?

If you’re getting all the nutrients you need from your food, then you don;t need to take a multi vitamin, but who has time to make sure that they eat a balanced diet these days? – most people don’t ,so end up deficient in something without a vitamin supplement,

I bought some "lozenges" that are suppose to help you from getting sick. They have vitamin C and Zinc in them. The box says to let them dissolve in your mouth but they are nasty tasting. Is it really going to make a difference if I just chew it up and wash it down with some water?

The vitamin C, no, that doesn’t matter. However, the Zinc does matter. Studies show that if you shallow the zinc in one dose, it doesn’t do much to boost your immune system. Only by slow constant absorption such as a lozenge that zinc helps boost your immune system.

Does anyone know of a good vitamin i can take preferrably from vitaminworld or gnc health, so its actually legit.
that helps with health and moisture and promotes healthy glowing skin, possibly helps hair and nail heath too?
only reccomend it if youve tried it please

ok for good skin you want to take vit-E and for healthy glowing hair ,that doesn’t fall out you want to take vit-zinc. and for healthy nails , my wife swore by (and she had long ol nails painted too) jell-o yes regular ol jell-o. it has something in it that makes your nails nice and healthy.

I am taking :
One-A-Day Vitman for general health
Glucosamine for my knee joint
Bone Complete for bone
Fish oil
Royal Jelly
Shark oil pill
Sheep placenta

Along with eating healthy and exercising, what other vitamins are good to take while in your twenties to imporve overll health for the future? thanks Im just curious because I wanted to start taking vitamin D in order to imporve bone health in the future, and avoid possible arthritis and osteoporosis

YES!! There are recent studies out that show women who are post-menopausal that are Vit D deficent can increase your risk for breast/ovarian/colon cancers and neurologic diorders. It is recommended that you take 1200mg of Calcium and 800iu of Vit D per day. I totally believe in preventative health!!! If you can stop it now before you get that age, why not?!

I’m 29 y/o female, should I be taking a daily multi-vitamin? I bought a bottle of women’s 1 a day but haven’t been taking them regularly.

I suffered a concussion many years ago and as a result I suffer from bad memory.Please what kind of vitamins/supplements will help this problem?

Vitamins are necessary in small amounts for normal metabolism. If you are eating a regular balanced diet there is no need for a vitamin supplement. Most claims of vitamin/supplement suppliers about vitamins or any other supplement enhancing mental processes or memory are hoaxes. There is no scientific foundation to my knowledge for anything you eat contributing to better memory or mental function (except perhaps some prescription drugs to treat mental disorders).

Recently, I bought a bottle of Vitamin E 400 IU. A friend tells me not to take it daily cause it may have bad effects on my health if I take it everyday, is this true?

because you can get hipervitiminosis…..

I drink 2 20oz bottles a day that’s a lot of vitamin C can it hurt me or make me sick?

Excess vitamin C can be a problem, as shown in a 2001 University of Florida study. All the literature I’ve read recommends that you get your vitamin C from fruits and veggies, not supplements.

Defend your answer. Make sure you discuss the arguments for and against taking supplements – and potential for negative health effects.

yes vitamins, but not diet pills. If they are actual vitamins than they can help you to have more energy and support breast health for women, plus can lower cholesterol and help with your heart.

I’m thinking of getting vitamin C injections to make my skin (mainly face) look less fatigue and more energetic and lively.

That’s a new one to me! Have you thought of actually ingesting the vitamin and/or taking a good multi-vitamin, eating right (lots of salads, fruits, and veggies) and of course, getting a good night’s sleep (8 hours). Also, don’t smoke and drink to excess, wear moisturizer and sun block.
