Mostly agree that no one can get all that they need by just eating. Certainly it is a start. I think supplements are proved to help.

You're better off eating a few helpings of fruit and vegetables every day - not only will they provide you with the vitamins you need, but also with roughage and fiber.

The old 'soils are depleted' argument is not only tired, but also quite wrong.

Good food is best. My body usually tells me what I need by cravings.
And some vitamins need other vitamins to get absorbed in the body. I have to take extra calcium now as we have osteo on the chick side of my fam. Good to take Vit D with it for absorption apparently. I hate taking pills.

Calcium plus Vitamin D is necessary. But you can provide the D by exposing to the sun if you are outside every day as the body can produce it with sunlight. May not work in the canadian winter though.

It seems quite a few people on here have been brainwashed with this nonsense.

Typical drugs industry marketing crap. Same same anti-depressants and the creation of 'depression' after the drug was developed, followed by an extremely profitable flood of diagnosis of depressed people.

You are just wrong if you think you can get all you need from eating, just do some research. I do not work for GNC.

So where the fishoil in your capsules come from?From fish which are flying in the sky so they don't get contaminated?
Please get real,all this is BIG business.Tomorrow I will spend a few billion $ on advertising that shit is the most healty food substance there is and the next day people will buy shit capsules at inflated prices all over the world.
By the way can someone lend me a few billion $?

"You see, even back as far as 1936 our scientists and our government have known that we are simply not getting the nutritional value that we need from the foods that our farmers are growing. The foods that we consume in our homes are missing the essential nutrients that our bodies so desperately need. Our farmlands, back in 1936, were severely lacking in mineral content, is it possible that this problem has been corrected? The answer is no! It has not, but it has gotten progressively worse."


"Over the last 50 years, according to some analyses, vegetables in the UK have lost a quarter of their magnesium, more than a quarter of their iron and nearly half of their calcium."

Yes, minerals are very important. I used to take TwinLab mineral capsules right before bed b/c in South East Asia we often sweat them out.

The Magnesium and Zing, led to some very vivid and colorful dreams.
