"You can overdose your system on vitamins! If you eat healthy (plenty of greens etc) exercise and get plenty of sunlight you shouldn’t need to top up until you get to an age where vitamin deficiency is common. I have a Berroca tab in a glass of water every morning. It contains a plethora of the vitamins and minerals I need and I don’t top up with anything else In the case of women there are supplements that aid with various stages of menopause etc " In the case of excess vitamin consumption, it just makes for a very expensive pee | |||

"I’d suggest getting your vitamin levels checked first. Same as yourself I take vit D as my levels were low, and double my dose over the winter months when I don’t get as much sunlight. " That sounds like a great shout! Since working out, I've heard about how vitimin X, Y and Z can help you not feel run down but an actual professional may be more use | |||

Obviously mileage may vary. | |||

"I do I’m a big believer in them. Along with a well balanced diet and healthy lifestyle I take. A strong multi vitamin, 30mg zinc, ,2500iu D, 1000 C, magnesium and a good omega 3. Not that these are supplements but I do include daily seeds and nuts in my diet " This is what I was thinking if doing if I did get some. I have a fairly balanced diet but thinking that adding some of these may help in not making me feel as run down with the exercise I do | |||

"This is what I was thinking if doing if I did get some. I have a fairly balanced diet but thinking that adding some of these may help in not making me feel as run down with the exercise I do " For exercise I load with carbs before big runs & similar. During exercise I top up with oats/dates/raisins and on hot days salted crisps. Drink salted water sweetened with syrup and cordial. Afterwards protein, in my case beans/lentils/peas etc. I think you have to experiment really. Also exercise is supposed to make you tired and the good stuff happens during recovery | |||

If they are I've got no goddamn hope | |||

"As a scientist I try and approach any supplement I am considering taking by looking at what evidence has been reported. I am regularly amazed at how much research has been done on some supplements and then the total lack of studies on some of the far more commonly taken ones." Did you conclude whether it was worth using any supplements for yourself? | |||

"Did you conclude whether it was worth using any supplements for yourself?" It definately helped me choose what to try when I was having trouble with carpal and cubital tunnel issues as there was quiet a lot of, at least sub-clinical (mostly from animal studies) indicating that pumpkin seed extract was worth trying first. Most of my other research has been into testosterone depletion and estrogen enhancement. This was more of a mixed bag and ended up using a mixture of evidence often intended for use in other areas. For example there is some good research into herbal compounds which suppress converion of testosterone into the far more active DHT as this is of interest to people looking to treat benign hyper prostates and certain hair growth conditions. In other cases some things had to be purely based on anecdotal evidence from others trying similar things. | |||

"I take vitamin D even though I'm a fair bit paler than you. Due to SPF usage. I take iron due to deficiency due to my menstrual cycle. If you take supplements you don't need you're just making expensive pee. " ^^^This. Most vitamin supplements end up in the loo | |||

"TBH that sounds a little bit Herbalife to me. If it works for you though, great " I understand your position, I was honestly suprised though at how much evidence there actually is for some of the compounds. In some cases, especially for alpha 5 reductase inhibitors, it is clear that the work is being done with the hope of subsequently identifying the active compounds to progress into new pharmaceutical treatments. | |||

Some are fat soluble and build up in the body. Vitamin A for example. Levels too high can be dangerous Other supplements can easily be overdosed if your buying high doses stuff and don’t know what your doing. Potassium is a good example. A great supplement to have but too much will result in heart failure Don’t just assume you’ll pee stuff out. Either follow the recommended dose or don’t take it | |||

"I used overpriced protein powders as a fitness newbie, before I knew much about nutrition. like my mates, I thought they had some magical muscule-making property. I realised way too late that they're essentially a waste of money. I get all my nutrients from real food now." Don’t go all the way to the other side about protein shakes. They aren’t useless. They’re very useful actually. Just stop looking at them as a supplement and look at it as food. It’s 25g of protein. Add one in to Meeks where you don’t have much protein | |||

Definitely helped...but it's ruined my front teeth enamel now | |||
