SoxFan1 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 So I recenty decided to start taking vitamins since the college lifestyle isn't so healthy, and so I can improve my immune system a bit, so I went out and bought Centrum Silver. Then a few days later, I noticed that it's specially formulated for people over the age of 50. So now I don't know if I should stop taking it. If anyone can offer some expertise or insight, that'd be sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly vitamins are useless you get most everything you need while eating. The body can only absorb a certain amount of each vitamin so you mostly are creating expensive urine.

RockRaines Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) Dude, you will piss out most of the contents of that vitamin, one kind to the other wont harm you. Get mega men though from GNC, it even turns your pee green. Edited January 11, 2008 by RockRaines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sox4lifeinPA Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 your best bet (my wife, the Registered Dietician, talking through me) is to just balance your diet. Like some said before, you're mostly #1ing or #2ing stuff out. every meal should be balanced with a fruit, a vegetable, a low-fat (not non-fat) dairy, and then watch your starch/carb and protein consumption. Most likely you'll land all the vitamins you need. I'm an indoctrinated fool, so if you have any other questions, ask away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
