Been taking Orange Triad for awhile but looking to switch it up a bit. What are people using here they would suggest? Thanks!!
I read some studies in the New England Journal of Medicine that showed a higher mortality rate of people using vitamins versus a non user. I get most of mine through diet and really only supplement extra Vitamin C.
No use in using a multi vitamin , I like to pick certain vitamin supplements like vitamin c ,d ,fish oil etc , much more valuable then a multivitamin, don’t waste your moneyBeen taking Orange Triad for awhile but looking to switch it up a bit. What are people using here they would suggest? Thanks!!
I remember that I think but was a correlation, not causation thing. Like people who would take their multivitamins with their McDonalds value meal versus people eating chicken and mixed vegetables w/ no multi.

I'd look at Thorne and Life Extension.
I think I saw this too. Could be many reasons. Anyone who views health as something that comes in a pill is likely not that healthy. I'd also assume those who take multivitamins are people who are popping many other pills medicine and view that as the secret to health vs preventative measures like losing weight, cardio, lifestyle changes.I read some studies in the New England Journal of Medicine that showed a higher mortality rate of people using vitamins versus a non user.

I was following the Carnivore diet, and it's believed that plants are toxic. I looked further into it and yes they are and this is how they boost you immune system more than their vitamins.My impression was that the studies basically couldn't tell if it was correlation or causation. I also remember for example a study saying smokers were more likely to get lung cancer if they used B-vitamins. I would rule out that it's the vitamins. Things like antioxidants are controversial also, with most experts seemingly saying not to mess with potent antioxidants unless there was a very specific reason. Antioxidants could weaken your natural defences.
Another sort of related topic is why vegetables extend life and health. Many experts now seem to think it has more to do with hormesis, not the micronutrient content. That is, vegetables are mild toxins and the body builds a defence against them which is health promoting.
I do use a multivitamin periodically still but I use a lower than recommended dosage or use a conservatively dosed brand.
