In daily life, what are the vitamin supplements everyone must take to stay healthy?

Vitamin D and fish oil
I’m always low in d in my blood work and rarely eat fish. All the added from a multi vitamin supp is just a bonus.

Yeah - I love that study. Since it doesn't help heart health, it must have no benefit at all.Seems like the study has a specific focus for results though.
"The research team concluded that the most commonly consumed supplements — multivitamins, vitamin D, calcium, and vitamin C — had no effect on a person’s risk of suffering a heart attack stroke, heart disease, or early death."
One way or another I always take a multivitamins as I know there gaps in my diet.
I am also big on taking fish oils. Your omega 6:3 ratio is supposed to be around 3:1 yet the average american has a ratio of about 20:1. The right Omega-3 balance makes every cell in the body work better, communicate better, protect itself better, and the benefits list goes on an on.
Small fish are basically rich in omega 2 fatty acids. Include more of anchovies, makrels and go light on tuna, seer fish and basa. You will naturally get a glowing and firm skin and good hair. Japanese cuisine is mostly based on fish and you might have seen how young looking people they are. A fifty year old lady looks like only 22!!Personally

I hate the taste of most fish unless it’s raw or battered and deep fried lol. I do eat shashimi tuna and salmon once a week. I already am young looking for my age. Everyone guesses I’m in my late 20’s and gonna be 40 this year.Small fish are basically rich in omega 2 fatty acids. Include more of anchovies, makrels and go light on tuna, seer fish and basa.

The best souces of phylloqinone are leafy green vegetables, some vegetable oils like rapeseed and soybean oil, and some legumes like peas, lentils, kidney and pinto beans. In addition to the health benefits mentioned in some of the other responses, vitamin K has also been shown to help with skin issues (bruising, spider veins, etc.). In fact, a lot of massage therapists use vitamin K cream because of this.+ vit K
great to pair with vit D and has a lot of benefits (bone strenght, hearth health, a little beneficial effect on blood sugar).
Haha! That's cool!I hate the taste of most fish unless it’s raw or battered and deep fried lol. I do eat shashimi tuna and salmon once a week. I already am young looking for my age. Everyone guesses I’m in my late 20’s and gonna be 40 this year.

None is needed.In daily life, what are the vitamin supplements everyone must take to stay healthy?
Even with eating a pretty balanced diet I feel like you still may be deficient in some nutrients. That’s why I take a multi , plus I’m hotrible at varying my greens. I usually don’t eat much fruits unless I get something that has fruit in it. And I usually eat the same greens over and over again (asparagus, broccoli, bok Choy)None is needed.
Get your daily servings of Veggies and Fruits and daily means everyday of your life, don't abuse calories, and exercise...
I have a shake every day usually that provides 3 servings veggies, 2 fruits and 40 grams protein in a single shake and the volume is not overkill..Even with eating a pretty balanced diet I feel like you still may be deficient in some nutrients.

Yeah - I can say this. Even when I am eating 2-3 steam bags of broccoli and some spinach every day for more than 12 servings a day, I notice that taking a ZMA type supplement STILL had a positive impact on sleep and stress levels. This is just one example where you can be eating things that should have you covered and they still aren't making things run optimally.Even with eating a pretty balanced diet I feel like you still may be deficient in some nutrients.

Sounds really good actually and I need to start doing that too. I must say on cycle I feel like I need more nutrients than when I’m not “on”. I’m still a newb in that dept though. Only done a test only cycle and some 1/4 AndrosI have a shake every day usually that provides 3 servings veggies, 2 fruits and 40 grams protein in a single shake and the volume is not overkill..
Wild blueberries could be considered one of the greatest supplements ever created....Veggies and Fruits are probably (they are but i say probably because most people can't imagine it could be) better than any supplement ever created but for some reason, we think its creatine or some other "super food."
Almost everyday I have a servings of spinach, Kale, broccoli, wild blueberries, strawberries/blackberries/cranberries or raspberries blended with 40 grams of Vanilla protein (casein/whey blend or just casein is best) in a SINGLE shake! It's a life changing shake. There are hundreds if not thousands of nutrients in that shake some we don't even know about yet....
Its shouldn't be
if you like, I can send some Vanilla Modern Protein it really brings it together nicely (you don't taste the veggies at all) and the shake recipe....the cool part is you can buy it all frozen so it never goes bad...Sounds really good actually and I need to start doing that too.

Mass produced meats and veggies for contain the same nutrients as they used too. Souls are not as rich plus pesticides = less nutrient dense food.Yeah - I can say this.

This is just one example where you can be eating things that should have you covered and they still aren't making things run optimally.
the reason i pick 3 veggies and 2 fruits is the data is pretty consistent that 5 servings keeps us healthy.....that is not in routinely exercising men.Sounds really good actually and I need to start doing that too.

probably because the variety is lacking...12 servings of Broccoli is overkill...mix it up.Yeah - I can say this.

Yeah - I usually eat a bag of broccoli at a time and that's 4 servings. I may have spinach or kale or asparagus or whatever...but MOSTLY I use broccoli and spinach is my next most common. The point being spinach and broccoli are both good sources of magnesium and that should be more than enough, yet even more seems to still help.probably because the variety is lacking...12 servings of Broccoli is overkill...mix it up.
I'm not saying supplements are useless (obviously) but what i am saying if we all had a general idea what a healthy diet it was and executed consistency. we would rely on supplements much less.

Still doesn't mean supplements are necessary, and you are right that variety is important. Your shake idea isn't too bad.
Problem is, I actually hate veggies to begin with. Hahaha.
Haha - yeah. Consistency is the key to life. Actually, I take it back. From dieting - I have a part of me that does love veggies because they can fill you up without much caloric content - which is part of how I got into the eating 2 bags of spinach/broccoli per day. When I was doing the PSMF it was pretty much a necessity. It really took the edge off and I learned to lean on that a lot for avoiding hunger.Consistency is key.
Great thing about the shake with the fruit and Vanilla protein.....the veggies are tasteless...
Just your regular vitamins and minerals in most multi formulas . The multi's that test all their ingredients via third party testing or cGMP certified where everything is tested prior to assembly and after are the ones you want.In daily life, what are the vitamin supplements everyone must take to stay healthy?
Veggies and Fruits already in my list! Thanks anyway!None is needed.
Get your daily servings of Veggies and Fruits and daily means everyday of your life, don't abuse calories, and exercise...
It will help a lot.I have a shake every day usually that provides 3 servings veggies, 2 fruits and 40 grams protein in a single shake and the volume is not overkill..

I use Millennium Sports MVP-365 and ZMK.
That article talks about vitamins not preventing stroke or heart disease.Study: Multivitamins, Other Common Supplements Have No Health Benefits

I prefer to get my vitamins from food, There is some doubt on weather synthetic vitamin supplements can even be absorbed and used. That said I do take a folic acid supplement because I was once anemic from a lack of it and the doctor told I should. Also I believe in magnesium suplementsIn daily life, what are the vitamin supplements everyone must take to stay healthy?
Fish oil is not a vitaminPersonally
Vitamin D and fish oil
I’m always low in d in my blood work and rarely eat fish. All the added from a multi vitamin supp is just a bonus.
I was just stating it as a health optionFish oil is not a vitamin
Neither is Vitamin D....so I just want to disclose that.Fish oil is not a vitamin
Ok that's true. Whats up with the prescription fish oil it supposedly has only EPA? Why is that? What brand of fish oil do you take? I used to like biotest but its a complete rip off and I hate Tnation. They used to pitch the opposite, That the dha was the better one.I was just stating it as a health option
And even though it is not classified as a vitamin people count it in that catergory.
Really? Why not? I have a calcium disorder. I'm always Vitamin D deficient but I can't take it because it makes my calcium go to high.Neither is Vitamin D....so I just want to disclose that.
Because it's technically not essential.for "normal" nutrition.Ok that's true. Whats up with the prescription fish oil it supposedly has only EPA? Why is that? What brand of fish oil do you take?

Really? Why not? I have a calcium disorder. I'm always Vitamin D deficient but I can't take it because it makes my calcium go to high.
As to the first part - EPA and DHA can be interchanged within our body. I've read a bunch of research, opinions and articles. I am not sure I've ever reached a clear consensus on what I believe is better. I have found some products that have more DHA (Like NOW DHA 500) and products that have more EPA (Like NOW Super Omega or something like that) and would switch between the two to get a balance over time. Now may have questionable quality so I check out other brands and Bronson makes a triple strength omega or something that I use a lot now. I tend to use 6-10 grams of either of those a day so I am price sensitive.Ok that's true. Whats up with the prescription fish oil it supposedly has only EPA? Why is that?

Vitamin D is absolutely a hormone and it works through a hormone receptor. There isn't any speculation there. The name simply has to do with what was known when it was first discovered. It was the 4th vitamin to be discovered, so it was named vitamin D. The pair who discovered it didn't realize that the human body could synthesize it, thus the incorrect name of vitamin..
As far as Vitamin D, I was being a bit of a wise azz. There is a lot of speculation that vitamin D acts more like a hormone than a vitamin...but there is also some valid thought that it is a vitamin and not a hormone. I think this type of thinking highlights the fact that our "groupings" of things like vitamins, minerals and hormones can be incomplete.
Clearly vitamin D is an alien creation from out space that is both a vitamin and a hormone and a tesseract.
I tend to agree, but also realize it is a little more complicated especially since Vitamin D comes in a few forms, and particularly since a deficiency in diet or sunlight exposure will elicit symptoms...which fits the criteria for a vitamin.Vitamin D is absolutely a hormone and it works through a hormone receptor.

Yup. Hard to believe. But the source of an idea should never matter. Only the validity - and there are references to papers.Reddit? Really?
Are you kidding me? Of course the source should matter when discussing a scientific or medical issue. Reddit threads are at best a starting point for laypeople to start finding citations, but is not a valid source. That's one random stranger on the internet's opinion that you are blindly accepting. At least read what is cited and work from there. From the titles alone, they sound like reviews (more opinions, not facts) and not even peer-reviewed research papers.Yup. Hard to believe. But the source of an idea should never matter. Only the validity - and there are references to papers.
I thought it was a decent read.
Also, that isn't the entire criteria. Again, by definition a vitamin can't be able to be synthesized by the human body. Alcoholics show symptoms when they are deficient in alcohol. Alcohol, also not a vitamin.I tend to agree, but also realize it is a little more complicated especially since Vitamin D comes in a few forms, and particularly since a deficiency in diet or sunlight exposure will elicit symptoms...which fits the criteria for a vitamin.

In all fairness, Reddit was NOT the source of the information. It was merely cited there.Are you kidding me? Of course the source should matter when discussing a scientific or medical issue.

The source he posted was somebody's opinion on reddit which that person tried to support with citations that may or may not even agree with the reddit post. Also, I find misleading citations in peer-reviewed journals all the time when researching subjects, so it's not a good idea to just assume the person posting on an unreviewed reddit thread is being honest in their citations.In all fairness, Reddit was NOT the source of the information.

On that basis, you can’t trust an article written by a human posted anywhere. So then, how can you arbitrarily discount this one? Exactly what defines an article credible or not? Do you make the rules up as you go along?The source he posted was somebody's opinion on reddit which that person tried to support with citations that may or may not even agree with the reddit post.

Anybody can go on reddit and claim anything they want to. What do you not understand about that? It's automatically credible because he listed articles? How do you know those articles support what he is even saying without reading them? If you want to have a scientific discussion, that is why peer-reviewed journal articles exist. As I said earlier, the reddit person seems to have posted only review articles, not actual research articles. That means those will then cite yet more sources.
