Multivitamins are a waste of space as you are just throwing everything at your body, often things you don't need, and things you shouldn't be getting too much of either.

However targeted supplements have great value. Take B12 for instance, as you get older you will generally stop absorbing it as much...to the point that it is recommended that everybody over 50 supplement it, as there is no way a lot of people can get enough from any food. You can actually end up absorbing ~0% of what you intake depending on your condition and B12 deficiency is pretty devastating.

It's a case of where the supplement is far better than food, mine has 17000% RDA, I'm pretty sure I'll absorb enough. (Also RDAs are retarded, outdated and useless at this stage, they are essentially a minimum and things can affect you so that eating that much you do not get that minimum)

Not a fan of it? Was giving it a tryout in the Apple Store in Netherlands last week and thought it felt really uncomfortable to hold. Apps look very old-fashioned on the new IOS8 too - whatever that new Android style is called is miles ahead in the fashion stakes. Camera is phenomenal though.

Brother has one and he loves it, I'm just happy with what I have, that being said if it doesn't sell this week I'll prob use it and give this Fone to my young fella.

1. Vitamins and minerals in supplements are generally poorly absorbed making them poor value for money imo especially if you shop in H&B where they have extra markup.

2. Agree with the point V was making with one addendum. The unhealthy people would still be there being unhealthy even if the food pyramid was corrected. But what he says is true the food pyramid is a load of wank

3. Small regular meals dont "keep up the metabolism" any more than eating normally does. Also Intermittent fasting is a fad that will pass. If it helps people stay under their daily calories I'm all for it

fwiw, that's the point I was making. The focus was on the 'diet' itself as opposed to the actual science behind the food.

Are you taking B12 supplements after getting your blood checked or as a precaution because you're a vegan?

@ Bubbleking, let's say I didn't want to go to my GP and didn't want to pay €250 to those general health screenings with 95% of stuff I don't want done, are there any other options for getting blood work done? Checking for anaemia type shenanigans.

To answer both your questions in one fell swoop. I asked my doc could I get bloods done, they said yes and it was so, done pretty fast. Not sure how much it would cost you as it was free for me (medical card welfare scum).

Everything was perfect, they were fawning over my cholesterol for some reason so that felt good. Only told them I have haemochromatosis and am vegan afterwards. They did say that B12 deficiency is very common in their experience.

So it is merely precautionary, you also have to wait quite a while to see the effects of B12 deficiency and I do have fortified foods as well, but to be sure I'd like to take them. Bering 10 years vegatarian and having good scores leads me to believe I'll be fine.
Even if I was gettin "100% RDA" I wouldn't be pleased with that tbh and you can have as much B12 as you want due to water solubility, I suppose yearly blood tests wouldn't be a bad idea either. (Also they taste really nice and are cheap enough)

I'm also thinking of going on these again omega 3 + d3 for similar reasons.

I also got my iron checked on the spot for free at one of those health expos in the RDS, if you really wanna cheapskate it

Doing pork tonight as well - pork fillet.

Thinking about slicing it in half and rolling it up around some cheese, sliced peppers and maybe porridge oats or something funky like that, before roasting it!

Stick some sausage meat stuffing inside it and wrap it in bacon. Eat with a side of Steak.

A general multi vit as a cure all doesn't make sense to me. But I can't see the harm in supplementing the likes of Vit C and D and making myself piss out what the body has no interest in using.

The problem, same as it ever was, with these conversations is the extreme nature of them. Did the study saying multi vits have no positive health effect have a control? Did it work in underlying contextual factors related to income level / education / etc? How does it tally with research demonstrating correlations between natural bodily functions and intake for something indisputably positive like vitamin C?

I'm do very tired reading health related studies or theories on items placed in independent vacuums of each other.

- exercise;
- food;
- sleep;
- supplements;

They all play their part. In the same way that:

- weight;
- strength;
- cardiovascular fitness;
- stress levels;

Are rarely completely on massively variant parts of the scale for the bulk of the population. Yes, there are really unhealthy people out there who maintain a healthy weight and there are overweight people who are relatively able but there's usually consistencies present.

Yeah, bit rambly, but there is so much bollocks out there. 'It's all diet' - no it fucking isn't, train with intensity five times a week and you'll progress no matter your diet. 'Nothing matters if you don't sleep 8 hours minimum a night'. 'You MUST exercise like this'. And now 'vitamins are pointless'.

Sigh.

Not on here, but Right Price Cars have probably one of the biggest selection I've seen in a while and they are pretty decent on price - Can bargain with them a bit also

You're the first person I've heard of outside of my family to have haemochromatosis. Must be a seriously rare disease.

vitamins / supplements arent pointless but they are, for the most part, poor value for money especially if you can get them from food anyway.

with regards to progressing regardless of diet well that depends on what your goals are and what you mean by progressing. No doubt you will improve from baseline from both a health and fitness point of view but you are definitely slowing your progress and capping your potential if you ignore the diet side of things. Ditto with the amount of sleep you get but plays a smaller role imo

My family doctor told me he was '99.9% sure' I had that a few years back.

Some sweat while I waited on the bloodwork frantically reading up on what a debilitating mofo this particular malady was. Didn't have it obv.

Same guy was also certain our daughter had asthma. She had tonsillitis.

Actually a lot of people have it, big chunk of the population, as it was evolutionary advantageous at the time. They just don't know they have it here as they are not tested. It's not really a disease to me, I absorb more iron...so don't need to eat much iron, so quite handy for me.

Just have to watch out if you are older and gobbling red meat and such.

Do you not have to get blood taken regularly or did you in the past? I don't have it but it runs in my family (dad and few uncles). My dad used to have to get a litre of blood taken every 2-3 months but that's no longer the case.

I have never had to (iron levels are what they should be), never will if I continue to eat properly.
Doctor said it was quite advantageous to be a vegetarian/vegan with it anyway. He reommended it to me but I already was one haha.

It's more common that it will affect older people badly, and he probably found out much later than me too. In your fathers case it could have been deadly, which is why more people should find out if they have it or not.

There are even drugs to take these days instead of blood letting.
