I'd like to know your opinion about the claim that some vitamins can conflict each other which might make taken them in one pill pointless

[@ForCasual-y6x]

I've read this and actually the most effective vitamins are single vitamins, which are purer and of course more expensive. it would be nice if the vitamins you take are liposomal, and yep this also becomes more expensive, because actually combined vitamins are only slightly absorbed into the body, single vitamins are the same but the amount absorbed is more because there is no mixture of other vitamins, therefore if you want to maximize the absorption of vitamins you should buy liposomal. liposomal is always a single vitamin not a mixture.

[@YonatanYosef-qo9zd]

thanks for the info but how long should you be taking multivitamin ?

[@Gr8Passion4Music]

Nice video. The question I have in my mind is for how many days max should one have a daily multivitamin tablet before giving this routine a break to avoid chance of any possible overdose.

[@yutehube4468]

I doubt you'd overdose taking the 1-a-day type tablets. Look at broccoli for example - a 300g serving has 378 micrograms of vitamin K but you only need about 75 micrograms per day. Eating 300g broccoli you're "overdosing" on vitamin K at 5 times the recommended daily amount. Are you actually overdosing on the vitamin? No. Your body simply won't use any more than it needs. I don't know if this applies to all 13 vitamins but it's certainly true of vitamin K.

Really interesting video, just paid quite a lot of money to see a Nutritionist and echo's a lot of what you said, one thing she did say I don't think you covered was about how different vitamins are absorbed in the body differently and to avoid certain ones which are wasted, she suggested brand multi-vitamins and a separate Magnesium supplement which I've just started taking today so no idea if they'll be any good or not. She did however recommend I start protein shakes, MyProtein was actually one of the brands but I've always found they taste bad but might give them a try again in the future.

So, I have narcolepsy, which means I have a really slow metabolism. I don't restrict my diet, but I have no appetite. I end up eating around 1,000-1400 calories a day. I used to count, and I don't now but I am good at guestimating with all of my past experience with counting. With this amount of food I maintain a healthy weight, I am not underweight at all. but, I wonder if I need to supplement with a multivitamin in this case. I also know that I am nowhere near enough protein. I am doing intuitive eating, and for important reasons, so I do not restrict or do any kind of diet. I eat whatever I want. To push only high protein foods would undo my progress and that is not what I want. I do incorporate these foods, but I eat such small portions and only twice a day usually. Do you have any recommendations for getting more protein and/or if I would need a multivitamin based on my intake? Thanks!

There is so much mis information out there. I am a believer that B6 is the cause.. maybe over doing it even though its just one or two a day. Going to stop all vitamins for a month we will see if this itch allergy goes away. Thought it was and allergy to foods or a kidney issue. Vitamins need yo be properly controlled to many people online are recommending vitamins and while its true some people might need them, most people don't. So if you're experiencing any real health issues it could be the vitamins your using. Just watched a video of a doctor that was over taking B6 and the symptoms she was getting. She stopped and they went away. Vitamins could be damaging you organs liver, pancreas, kidneys..

But there's also some more expensive multis that probably do more harm than good. But there absolutely are reasons people need to take a multivitamin. If you have celiac, if you have intestinal permeability, if you have Crohn's, if a doctor suggests it for a wide range of illnesses or issues with the diet.

Does it matter that you are getting more than 100%? I assume that your body will just excrete what it doesn't need, right? I would like you to do a video on Riboflavin - when I first started taking the Ghost Multi, my pee went neon yellow and I had a panic. I learned that it's normal and it's just your body excreting what you don't need and that;s just what Riboflavin does. I would like you to cover it. I was very concerned and I'm sure i'm not the only one. I would like your opinion on the Ghost Multi's ingrediants list - but I understand you won't cover another company's product.

I typically use a sea salt or Himalayan salt but I've started using some common iodized salt back in so i have a simple source of iodine. I cannot have dairy. I cannot have gluten. I'm not going to eat organ meat like liver. Seafood...good sources of seafood like cod are kind of a no no for me right now or face the consequences for a long time.. that pretty well leaves seaweed, vitamins, and table salt. I did take a vitamin the other day for the zinc and selenium because I felt like I was coming down with a cold but I got past that with oregano oil extract, sources of sulphur, zn gluconate, caffeine free herbal teas, and extra sleep.
