Re: Vitamins for general health
Before I retired, my discipline was applied psychology but my work involved a lot of work with doctors, physicians, physios, rehab providers, dietitians and other allied health professionals. I seldom - if ever- heard any of them sing the praises of any packaged vitamins. They all, especially the dietitians said that a good balanced diet with all the food groups in varying amounts would supply all the vitamins one needs and then some. The thing is the food has to be fresh, not processed. If you live on pre- packaged and processed food all the time- and worse still -junk food, vitamin supplements will not do zip.Re: Vitamins for general health
Over 8 years doctors told me that my Vit D was low, so I should take supplements. I bought some and took the highest dose they sold over the counter.Re: Vitamins for general health
Had bloods done a couple of weeks ago - full profile. Everything was good - except the Vit D - which was slightly low. I promised to go and lie on the roof for 10 mins next time the sun shone (if it ever does) GP was happy to leave it at that!Re: Vitamins for general health
Because I have felt quite achy and tired recently - more than usual - I had my bloods done 3 weeks ago and was found to be deficient in vit.D. My diet is good (probably too good) so I was a bit surprised. Anyway the doc. put me on a high dose of vit.D and then said I should probably keep taking it. Six months follow up made. She said my aches and pains should improve a bit. It is surprising how many people are deficient in vit.D.Re: Vitamins for general health
