I’ve gone back and forth on taking a multivitamin since I know my diet isn’t all that great. Ideally I should be working to improve that diet but let’s say due to certain circumstances that’s a bit difficult at the moment.
Would it be worth taking a 1 a day multivitamin to at least correct some possible deficiency or is it very unlikely that it would have any effect?
Not asking for professional medical advice or anything, mostly looking to see if anyone else is taking a multivitamin and if so why?
That’s part of it, ig. But there was this one study where they gave people shit tons of one vitamin and they just started dying because they weren’t getting anything else they needed. Sounded intense.
I’m sceptical. That would be an extremely unethical test. And it would only prove that too much of something can kill you. Did you know that people can even die from drinking too much water?
This was a study of a specific disease that caused a specific deficit in one vitamin. They tried hyper-dosing people to treat it and had to stop the study because they died.
Can’t remember which disease it was
