Vitamins and other daily supplements. Do you take them and if so, do you see any benefit or harm from doing so?

Asked by MarcoNJ (946points) April 7th, 2010

OK, so I take a men’s multi-vitamin, Vitamin C, and Fish Oil capsules….pretty much on a daily basis. I can’t prove they’re entirely beneficial to my overall health but rarely do I get sick. Actually, I can’t remember the last time I was.

Anyways, I was just curious…do you think Vitamins, and other daily supplements benefit you? Or are they over-rated?

Also, do you think there any negative side effects from taking them on a long-term basis?

The reason for this question was a recent news report claiming that women who take multi-vitamins are more prone to Breast Cancer than those who don’t. I seriously doubt it….in fact, I smell Pharmaceutical company propaganda all over that report. But anyways…...
