How long do I have to take
vitamins before I see a benefit?
First, I am not a vitamin fanatic. I believe that people should eat natural foods to get their minerals and vitamins. Many of the supplements we have today are unregulated and have no quality control. You can buy the same supplement in two different stores and they often contain different substances. Having worked in the Orient, I can assure you that things are not up to PAR in the health food supplement industry.
The majority of health supplements are made outside the USA and who knows what they contain. There are countless reports of fake and counterfeit vitamin products on the market. The vitamin industry is just another major scam. Almost every week, doctors and nurses are coming out with new bogus formulas for patients to take.
Best advice, spend your money on some vegetables and fruits- and do wash them thoroughly before you eat them. The only people who really need vitamins are those who have been shown to have a deficiency and this means less than 0.00001% of Americans (if you do not know percentages, this means less than 1 in 10 million americans). The rest of people who take vitamins have false beliefs that vitamins can do all sorts of magic in their body- in fact, these are chronically unhappy people who are more in need of Prozac than a vitamin.
