I'm a little perplexed by this since as far as I'm aware vitamin deficiency is very common, vitamin D being a prime example If I recall correctly about one in five people in Europe have vitamin D deficiency and would therefore benefit from a vitamin supplement that included vitamin D

In the USA, vitamines are totally unregulated Generally the only way that the vitamin companies are healed accountable for ANYTHING is when someone is harmed directly

Great informative video Unless you have a specific need, why shouldn't a balanced diet suffice? On pills, companies take you for a fool unless pharmaceutical grades are required Get this, they sell "super oxide dismutase"!? If my basic biochemistry correct, you can't absorb an enzyme usually The digestive process breaks down proteins with catalysis They also sell beta carotene that can actually increase the risk of cancer I think that's because of chirality and it being synthetic However the natural orientation found in foods actually decreases cancer risk Capitalising on lack of knowledge, Holland and bollocks? ;-)

Jim might have already damaged his liver from years of carb and sugar abuse before the green tea came into play

Dr Okorocha, we all respect you as a doctor but seriously Vitamin D as an example? 400 IU? 50,000IU is what other doctors recommend So why is your advice better than a different doctor who recommends I should be taking over 100x more? It's I pretty significant increase

Green tea extract is not the same as vitamins Plus it has a known risk of liver damage in doses providing more than 800 mg of EGCG per day Looking at a few different brands on Amazon, you'd have to take around 10 times the recommended daily dose to reach that threshold IMO it's unreasonable to expect that taking 10x the dose should still be safe Imagine taking 10 paracetamols per day (5g) - good way to kill your liver

Mmm, that's got me thinking I have a multi vitamin pill daily with my porage before I go to work, except for week ends Wondering if I should take one on alternate days instead, I'm sure my diet is OK Interesting video that

Your channel has more than a million subscribers Why audio quality is so poor, like it is made by amateurs? Why Doctor can’t be recorded better or at least his mic get some noise reduction, avoid dead silence and rough audio cuts? If you don’t have any good sound desinger, send me a message, I have more than 10 years of experience

Last I talked to my doctor he said keep taking my multivitamin cause my food allergies I’m low in some vitamins/minerals
Comment from : Robyn Reding

I know a pharmacist who worked for a vitamin manufacturer He said these supplement pills are only beneficial if you are deficient in certain vitamins Otherwise it’s a waste of money at best Overdosing on vitamins can also do more harm than good Even though he could get free vitamins, he didn’t start taking them until his senior years

Spoken by corporate medicine and big pharma Our soils have lost massive nutrition due to chemical fertilizers and pesticides etc Our food nutrition is said to be 7x less than what our ancestors had with basic raw grains and fresh vegs, versus white man bleached salt, bleached sugar, bleached flour, de-nutritionalized bread, biscuits, crackers, everything is now preservatives and petrochemical dyes in the foods Proper vitamin intake is a valuable insurance in having a long term supply of potent ingredients that might not be easily obtainable in fresh quantities over a long term period And having Vit D is now a proven assistance against the covi virus, flu, and cold So having such a bogus POS episode as this is sheer propaganda Vitamins for the most part are stated as MDR (minimum daily requirement) or RDA (recommended daily allowance) which is taking vitamins (AT A MINIMUM) to PREVENT basic nutriotnal diseases FROM HAPPENINGbrbrOnly issues are from excessive intake of oily vitamins (A and D) water-based Vit B and C can't overdue Oil-based Vit E is safe Now, at least in the US, fish liver oils for Vit A and D, have alternative forms of the source Vegetables high in Vit A can be taken without fish liver oil toxicity - so eat more greens !!! Vit D, here, is now being made with sheep's lanolin (sheep grease, sheep wax) that baby butt Vit A/D ointment smell - "lanolin" Modern forms of vitamin D supplements are non-toxic - now using UV irradiation lanolin that converts into Vit D It is the same mechanism used by animals when licking their fur (cats, dogs, horses), the sunlight and the saliva convert into Vit D - and they lick it off If you see your pets doing this - give them higher Vit D - and they will stop ! Vit D now also found in mushrooms, and mushrooms held within natural sunlight also develop higher Vit D amounts - so eat more mushrooms Most humans are now Vit D deficient as they are house or business inside and not getting out enough into the sun, fresh air, exercise - or exercise inside in the spa etc The same for Vit E deficient as white man bread removes the wheat germ (or other grain germ oil) in modern bread - so more Vit E is needed to put that back into the diet Vit B is the same for bread, mushrooms, and needs to be put back into the diet VIt C (scurvy) is needed that is found in some vegetables, pine needles, raspberry, blackberry, rose hips, etc (deer and animals eat these natural sources for their vitamin needs) Destroyed foods with minimal Vit C need more supplementation in today's high stress, and energetic lifestylesbrbrWith a massive work accident, I have taken (and continue to take) VIt D 100,000 IU of Vit D daily (non-toxic) for nearly 6+ years, and only now take 50,000 IU every other day and I look better and more healthy and repaired from my injury than most people of my age - and even those that are in the gym/spa (!) SO make sure Vit D is NOT fish liver oil - and you can take (with proper knowledge and diet) higher amounts in getting free D3 in your bloodstream, and doing vast health benefitsbrbrAll vitamins (essential vital amino acids) also control enzymatic processes in the body Calcium and magnesium and other minerals have been shown to have up to 10,000 enzymatic higher processes in the body No minerals - no higher body health and fitness Vit D is said to have 33,000 known enzymatic processes across 40 organs, glands, and endocrines Proper nutrition, diet, and nutritional supplementation keeps the body in top fitness, healing, and health against aging, accidents, and infectious diseasesbrbrThere is no problem with rational vitamin supplementation Read up and know your diet, nutrition, and supplements - and use thoughtfully - and f big medicine and big pharma and all their competing nutritional warfare propaganda

Jim just seemed to be a reasonable guy with a reasonable concern, I don’t think his decision was obviously cavalier The more you know the better I guess
Comment from : David Taylor

Unless you have confirmed deficiency by a professional, you DO NOT need supplements Balanced diet will provide you with enough And balance is key
Comment from : CMDR Sloma

Sorry, but this is a terrible video It doesn't answer the question stated It takes one example of one person taking one supplement at very high doses as an example of 'what can happen' if you take too many vitamin supplements It looks at garbage fast food and states a few of the vitamins it contains What about all the processed oils and fats as well? What about the damage that would cause? Maybe the diet a person eats doesn't contain certain vitamins and minerals in a recommended dose and a multivitamin may help? I expect much more from a BBC Earth Lab video and this superficial at best

Do you think most people have their 5 a day? Also don’t know why they spoke about green tea extract supplements when the people who clicked this came here wondering about standard multivitamins

first of all, the nutritionist interviewed is a liar via misrepresenting analytical data and slyly phrasing statements under false context of adequate levels Your food is not providing all the nutrients as recommended, guaranteed You need conscious effort to formulate an adequate diet Most people just ask McDonald's to determine the recipes for food, but that is not food, it is a laboratory product
