Are supplements good for you?
-
Yes. I take iodine and zinc daily. Ordered a few others. If you aren’t eating everything that cavemen ate 10,000 years ago, how could it be possible that you AREN’T missing any specific nutrient?
-
>go to your kitchen right now and look at your sea salt
The fact that this was typed without irony is all you need to know about the milqtoast faggot that is the /poo/ poster.-
Damn, you sure showed those faggots by being even more of one yourself.
Translation for you: the target audience is iodine deficient, and is likely adhering to destructive trends. Assuming the target audience has non-iodized sea salt instead of iodized fits the tone.-
One problem with your assesment professor, people who have fallen for the sea salt meme deserve to suffer.

Everyone should supplement B12, as everyone is deficient.
-
How is that possible?
-
Its created by gut bacteria and can only be found in shit. Animals eat shit so they get enough of it. Most b12 supplements go toward farming animals. We in turn get that b12 by either eating meat or drinking milk.
-
Good thing my daily s o y lent shake has B12.
-
-

-
Some are good. Like D, zinc, magnesium or B vitamins.
-
americans… you… don’t put iodine in table salt?
-
No since mc donalds bought all the iodine.
-
Most table salt is iodized, it just tastes like shit. Seriously, I switched to sea salt a long time ago. I had to use table salt recently, and couldn’t stand the metallic taste. I get iodine from other food sources anyway.
-
it tastes like normal salt lol
are you sure they’re not putting uranium or something in it to revalorize nuclear waste?-
Iodized salt tastes like licking the floor of a warehouse. Non iodized sea salt is delicious.

Vitamins always taste bad

it’s not kosher :^)

If you eat enough meat, fish, nuts and fruit supplements should be unnecessary.

It’s better to try to get the nutrients from your diet first. What’s pretty interesting is how many cholinergic nootropic drugs are contained in egg yolks – no need for a supplement.
Taking the wrong supplement can also really gently caress up your health. People who are high in iron who take iron supplements (which is sometimes added as a filler to things like pain-relief medications) can experience a lot of increased inflammation. About 1% of the population is sensitive to sulphites and if they take a sulphur based supplement they can also really gently caress up their health. Any supplement in excess that your body has trouble removing rapidly can cause damage.My experience after lots of supplements is one really bad experience taking the wrong supplement that I reacted horribly too. Most of them had very minimal effects after the first few uses. Much better to just focus on good diet. Adding the occasional egg, sardine, liver, and legumes and sunlight will provide pretty much all nutrient needs in a normal western diet.

Agree, except for B12.

nice chart
-
This chart is ass. Vitamin C is definitely above the worth it line if it is strictly evidence. On the other hand, plentiful sources of C make it not worth it.
Probiotics is also a retarded catch-all and is shear quackery through obfuscation. Such generalities should be applied to the whole chart and it would only be one big circle of dietary supplements.-
Vitamin C is useful on a 18th century ship if you don’t eat fruits for months… but in modern times?
-
Depends on the diet. If you’re into fast food and shun fries (surprisingly good with Vitamin C, if they’re 100% potatoes) it might make sense.
-
I refuse to eat fruit, vegetables, and fish
What should I take?-
Buy ascorbic acid from eg purebulk. Add baking soda and water to turn it into sodium ascorbate.
-
Whats so good about sodium ascorbate
-
Regular vitamin C is acidic and hard on the gut. Just fuggin google it man.

Fruit is horrible for you. Tons of sugar. Ruins teeth. Nutritionally void.
-
probably the most retarded take I’ve read today
-
I know pizza is classified as salad in the US, but are sweets also classified as fruit?
Otherwise you’re extremely retarded.-
Do we for real have non Americans on here?
-
>non Americans
You mean non-US-cititens or non-US-residents. And yes, of course.
-
-
Just look for the amount of sugar in fruits, retard
-
-
schizo tier idea
-
>.
It’s too much sugar if you are on antipsychotics, that’s correct.-
What do antipsychorics have to do with sugar
-
-

-
Why is vitamin a so low? Without it you go blind
-
(((folic acid))) is toxic. You should take folate instead.
-
How about methylfolate?
Also what’s wrong with folic acid?

Does st john worts interact with Ritalin ?
same question for probiotics
-
-
When I was lifting in college there was a point where I just couldn’t eat anymore. I wouldn’t have, and still to this day cannot, break 1/2/3/4 in my lifts without protein supplements. Take it for what you will.
-
>Are supplements good for you?
Only I you have a deficiency. The body is EXTREMELY efficient at using and maintaining the essential nutrients it needs.
-
I have not eaten vegetables almost my whole life
I have not eaten fruits in years
99% of my calories are meat and carbs-
And you are so retarded you argue on LULZ about nutrition. It seems vegans are correct.
-
enjoy your type 2 diabetes and heart disease, idiot.
Fruit is horrible for you. Tons of sugar. Ruins teeth. Nutritionally void.
absolute gently caressing moron and likely fat/american.

>enjoy your type 2 diabetes and heart disease, idiot
Enjoy eating food that tastes yucky, moron

No, they will do nothing for you unless a doctor has determined you need them.

Is it true your body can only absorb one metal at a time?

Potassium Iodide 15.3mg, Iodine 49,7mg -
>All nutrients – proteins, starches, sugars, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and millions of unknowns – interact. Each requires all of the other nutrients in varying amounts to be properly utilized. All supplements lack most of the balancing nutrients, especially bioactive enzymes. If all are not present, the body leaches nutrients from its own supply (if it can afford to). Supplements create a balance/depletion see-saw effect.
no.-
caveat to this:
the only type of supplements that are good for you are those that are FOOD
>desiccated liver
>desiccated oysters
etc.
