Re: Problem with vitamins
Again, not an expert here, but to the OP:
If it HURTS when you take them, what is the realized benefit? I mean, theoretically, we believe that taking vitamins makes you big, strong, and healthy. That's what we've all been taught and read. But if you take them, and you have a distinct and appreciable negative result, perhaps you should question conventional wisdom...to the contrary of Mens Health and Muscle and Fitness. It's your body, right?
When was the last time you took a multivitamin and felt stronger/faster/healthier shortly thereafter?
The concept of "Health" or "fitness" is somewhat abstract and is not as quickly recognized as say, an ibuprofen when you have a headache, or a cup of coffee when you are lethargic. So how do you prove it, while saying Centrum, Geritol, or Flintsones are a significant contributing factor? Kinda reminds me of when Kellogs or General Mills says Fruit Loops or Lucky Charms are a part of "This nutritious breakfast", then shows a screen shot of their chosen cereal with fruit, milk,bread, and other breakfast delights on a table top. Where's the real nutrition?
I'm not trying to preach here, and I don't want to give the wrong impression. I'm not some stinky hippy new-ager that thinks you should live off of dandelion milk and positive energy. However, I can tell you that fitness, health, and happiness do not come in a pill.
Chances are, you are not deficient in a particular nutrient, you are merely taking a vitamin because you think you should. Because, that is what healthy, fit people do, right?
Like I said before, PM me.
