Personally I think people are crazy who don't use them. There's no way you can get every nutrient you need strickly from food. And I never followed the blanket FDA aproved amounts for everyone. Doesn't make sense.

that's right
besides hardtraining athlete needs bigger amounts of vitamins than couch potatoes!
but even they cannot provide all of the nutrients needed from food as well as their/our body cannot produce them
the solution is simple - take vitamin supps!

In some cases, an athlete needs more, but people seem to think that doing a slight bit of exercise (body builders in generally do next to nothing compared to other athletes) they need 2-3x more.[b said:Quote[/b] (grasik @ Aug. 12 2003,8:24)]that's right

And its actually quite simple to get most vitamins/minerals from food, just requires good food choices, and no vitamin supplement on the planet will replace food as a source of nutrients.

yes, you're right - there are such cases
nevertheless, there are also such cases in which people have to take supps cos it's impossible to make up their loss from food /even if we make good choices/; but these are extreme examples
to my mind, make good food choices, then think about supplementing your diet with vitamins

I voted "sometimes" but I don't think we really need multivitamins IF we follow a good diet. I have used the NAT a few times to check the vitamin and mineral content of my diet for one random day and I found out I get plenty of them. I remember that only zinc was at 100% of the RDA, everything else was 300-700% of the RDA.
It makes more sense to take extra doses of specific vit/min like vit.C/E, calcium and magnesium (it all depends of course).
