Uh, the argument is still not settled as to wether or not we really need hypercompensation as BB'ers as far as I know. Most sites seem to recommend it, which would eliminate the use of grocery store vitamins, which are usually 100% RDA - the amount it takes to just keep you out of having a deficiency and getting a deficiency disease, like scurvy or rickets. So we choke down horse pills the size of palmetto bugs with nearly dangerous amounts of E and A.
I personally have never seen a vitamin make me FEEL better, nor notice any increases in strength or size from them, or loss of anything when I stop taking them. But I can't be sure they don't have some preventative capacities. And I don't even see scurvy amongst the homeless people we minister to, and they eat like crap when they eat at all.
Anyone?
