| 1464817 | 2019-11-07 17:36:00 | They are advertising Lyposperic (not certain of the spelling) Vitamin C on the radio. It's a Vitamin C tablet that is taken daily. I can't understand why you would take a tablet to get your daily dose of vitamin C. I have an orange. Much more tasty, juicy and enjoyable.:) |

| 1464820 | 2019-11-07 18:46:00 | The idea that fruit is best came from sailors and citrus being added. But many other things have far more vitamin C than citrus. Capsicums for instance. Strawberries too. Broccoli (although I am not a fan) Tomatoes |

| 1464822 | 2019-11-07 20:17:00 | Far too many people still think that its OK to megadose in Vitamins All you need is the RDA, all these tablets far exceed that . They ignore that megadosing is actually harmful long term. Some vitamins are actually quite poisonous in larger doses Even VitC is harmfull in high dosages , long term . Add to that , there is little in the way of ongoing quality checks on these tablets. They may not contain whats claimed , as has been found in the past. Lots of money to be made in Vit tablets . Its all about the $ |

| 1464823 | 2019-11-07 20:49:00 | I work on the principal that a natural source of nutrients is best. There are too many supplements and chemical additives in many foods, some of which have little beneficial effect. |

Unless you have a medical reason. Husband needed B!2 for a while. The rest, it's the fashion, like the fads for various foods being a magic cure-all. |

| 1464826 | 2019-11-08 01:48:00 | I am on prescribed monthly doses of Vit D, which works alongside an annual injection of Aclasta to treat osteoporosis. Vit D does seem to be a standard medical response to osteopenia and osteoporosis (alongside other drugs). | John H (8) | ||
