Should I be taking any, and if so what?
I've read a few mentions of vitamins in various threads to the point it is now a niggle in the back of my head, a distraction I'd like to see addressed and laid to rest.
When it comes to Vitamins a common response would be to get all your vitamins through your food, veg etc. but I'm more engrossed in finding meals/food stuffs that I can eat at the moment on the basis of what does or doesn't spike my BG levels and tbh no thought goes into to the body's vitamin requirements.
Would I be better, for peace of mind, to just to start a '1 a day' multivitamin regime? I was reading about B1 supplements (thiamin..i think) the other day as well.
On the flip side I remember reading an article a while back saying that multivitamins were a waste of money, an unnecessary expense, cant recall the thread of the topic, think it was in the vein of myths, Mouthwashes were purported to be another item that had little benefit behind it but still the consumer has ran with it.
Starting to ramble nonsense now, always a good point to stop Anyways, any views feel free....
Thanks.
