Hi Saj
For years I’ve taken a general multi vitamin supplement, currently Natures Best which are UK made, occasionally top up with glucosamine or something else, but a multi vit I’ve always considered good for when the diet isn’t quite as balanced as it could be!
cheers
Paul

I'm just naturally amazing, I don't take any of that stuff!

Coke and Heroin. I love my smack, crack and pop in the morning.

hey paul which multivitamin do you use?

I've got a basic one from superdrugs but want to get a better quality one

I don't currently take any, but I used to get mine from either Holland and Barrett or Savers. So many vitamins interfere with prescribed medications.

Natures Best multi-max one a day, hard to do any kind of control test with these but I like NB as a business, cheers Paul

I used to take all sorts of vitamins and supplements when I was into my fitness, but now the only thing I use is glucosamine with chondroitin. I take it in the hope it's actually doing something beneficial for my joints, how effective it is I'm not sure.

I pretty much just take bog standard supermarket multivits in the vain hope they're doing me some good, should my diet fall short (I go from eating really well to living on cereal depending on stress levels). Likewise I've done glucosamine in various forms, from Superdrug, Vitabiotics, Jointace etc but in truth I've never felt better from taking them nor worse for stopping. I've come to the conclusion they don't do much (for me) YMMV as ever. Maybe my diet isn't that bad?

Just Vitamin D as prescribed by my GP.
Nothing else on the supplement front. I have to swallow enough sh*t already.
Unless you count the yeast-based stout supplement I'm having right now.

Like you, just the Vitamin G.

No supplements for me. I eat a variety of foods so no need. I thought I had a vitamin d deficiency a while back and had a test. Nope it was my heart that was pissing about giving me lethargic symptoms. Went for an ablation (destroy heart muscle) feel better now. I don't have rapid and random heartbeat any more.
Wait, yes I'm fucked. All the vitamins in one bottle should make me fell better.

The Vitamin Verdict​

The researchers concluded that multivitamins don’t reduce the risk for heart disease, cancer, cognitive decline (such as memory loss and slowed-down thinking) or an early death. They also noted that in prior studies, vitamin E and beta-carotene supplements appear to be harmful, especially at high doses.

“Pills are not a shortcut to better health and the prevention of chronic diseases,” says Larry Appel, M.D., director of the Johns Hopkins Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology and Clinical Research. “Other nutrition recommendations have much stronger evidence of benefits—eating a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, and reducing the amount of saturated fat, trans fat, sodium and sugar you eat.”...

Don't be a sucker.

Is There Really Any Benefit to Multivitamins?

A recent look at multivitamins by Johns Hopkins researchers shows that there’s no proof of benefit. Find out the one supplement deemed beneficial—and how others failed.

This may be of interest "gut microbes", if you are looking at improving/maintaining your health...

JERF ... and make sure there's some probiotic food in there, too. At a minimum, Cider Vinegar (with "the mother", otherwise it's pretty inert). If you really wanted a "multi-vit" then eat an egg.

Magnesium for leg cramps at night; it works. Vitamin D because I’m old. Both were recommended by my GP.
