What vitamins do you take?
quarterback:
I'm not a vegetarian and I don't eat as many fruits and vegetables as I should, but I don't really take multi vitamins any more.
The general scientific consesus is that you don't need them and/or you're not getting much out of them anyway. The vast majority of any multi-vitamin you take is going to go down the toilet. If you have a medically diagnosed deficiency, then I'd take a supplement. But if you're eating 1500-2000+ calories a day and have some variety in your food, then the vitamins probably aren't doing much/anything for you.
I do own a bottle of multi-vitamins and I do take them occasionally when I haven't been eating well, haven't been sleeping enough and have been binge-drinking for days at a time, but overall I'm not convinced there's a point to taking them daily.
Just my 2-cents.
Stingray:
Hmm. I take vitamines, not sure what they are. Pretty sure there's a B in there somewhere. My wife sets them out on the kitchen counter for me every morning. She thinks I need 'em so I take 'em.

I take a multi-vitamin a lot. I take the kind for seniors because I wasn't paying attention when I bought the bottle and it was like a 250 or 500 pill bottle. Whoops.
I've also recently started taking ginko biloba to see if it would make me smarter.

Was that before or after you purchased the bulk bottle of senior drugs?
