I did the search here on vitamins and supplements and am aware this topic has been discussed. I simply wanted to see where the current active readers and posters are at.
I have taken a multivitamin fairly regularly for many years. I started when I was working and under a lot of stress. It seemed like the appropriate thing to do since I often worked with sleep deprivation, skipped meals, ate a poor diet ...often fast food. Never really gave it a thought.
I did notice all doctors when they did an initial survey wanted to know if you were taking a supplement or vitamin. Hmmm. Curious. I’ve never gotten a warning from a doctor to stop taking them.
So a little research now that I’m retired and I am discontinuing use of the multivitamin I take. I still am taking the CoQ10 as my physician did recommend that.
My biggest concern is twofold.
The source of most vitamins is China. My bottle I just threw away says, “Product Of China”.
And the thought that I could be paying good money to poison myself or at least do nothing for myself.....really irritates me that I could be so stupid.
