That's what I was thinking.

I think Dr Mike may have lost a few fans with that bit of insensitivity . We can't all look like he does .

your kidneys are filtrating all not necessary stuff... and supplement generations are yet to become old... when todays generations will be 60 there will be a huge kidney disease increase

@@venge54is17 I remember as a kid in the 70s One A Day multi-vitamin commercials. That of course was over forty years ago. I guess we are still waiting for that flood of kidney disease patients due to multi-vitamin use.

@@johnow7 well I'm from EU, I remember that multivitamin supplements came in late 90s here, I was working in supplement store in 2005,we sell protein powders etc and it was the only store in whole country till 2007, and even then older people didn't use nothing, not even vitamins because they were old fashion, in last 10 years it is absolutely crazy, people drinking protein supplements, taking 300g of protein a day, creatine, multivitamines, etc etc etc...kids in elementary school want ti be muscular taking powders etc.. so this heavy users are at most in their 40s... tsunami is coming, believe me, there is absolutely no good long term effect study out there, because kidneys don't show damage for decades and no study will take 20 or 30 years

@@venge54is17 The topic of this video is multivitamin supplements. You are going a bit off topic talking about protein and creatine. Now are you sticking to the topic or are giving us a lecture about supplements other than multivitamins? And did you bother to watch the video that I posted?

The difference is obsessing over taking them Or obsessing over people not taking them if there isn't a need... I take melatonin because I really can't sleep most nights but there's a reason of I was just taking them to get a "better" nights sleep that would be obsessing but I literally don't sleep without it...

There are studies that have used multivitamins (a LOT, and every single micronutrient) in the treatment of ADHD, Bi-Polar, and Depression. Studies showed they were very effective both short and long term! The hypothesis is modern diets and agricultural practices (deficiency in nutrients within soil) have lead to a large amount of people with deficiency.

@@jamesblames Nutrient deficiency is a lot more common than expected nowadays, I think it's mainly to do with the soil

@@RonaldinhoGoat Modern diets as in eating highly processed, low nutrient high energy foods. I should've elaborated.

@@jamesblames 100% - I have very low vit D and iron so supplement for those, and magnesium for migrane prevention. The real game changers for my ADHD have been the B6 and iron. The ADHD symptoms are particularly terrible during the luteal phase of my menstrual cycle and here the B6 especially has improved my mood and cognitive dysfunction. I don't eat fortified foods or meat/dairy/eggs so these minerals and vitamins are essential for my brain function. The week I ran out of iron and B6 was a rude shock.. I was back to barely functioning 🙃

@@jamesblames Can you name one of these studies please?

He clearly says in the video, if you have deficiencies, you're one of the few people that needs to take supplements.

@@HELL0NESSA and no where in my comment did I say he was wrong. I'm merely sharing my experience with vitamins and supplements.

@@JZGreengo I get really sick when the weather turns. Dizzy, sore throat, ear fullness . It has to do with barometric pressure but Xanax is the only thing that helps me dramatically. Xanax cures hangovers too.

I couldn't agree more! Well said. I have as a long time competitive athlete believed in certain supplements but was always cautious of their sourcing and production. And why I finally settled on one brand and company.

​@@TheWellnessAI what is the source of your vitamine?

@@karrenpopovics2780in my case its Kirkland multivitamins. Its cheap but certified by “USP” But if you want to get it naturally you basically have to be a nutritionist otherwise you’ll definitely be deficient. People le vegetarians for example think they are healthy because of veggies and fruits but could potentially lack vitamins b12 and e which are important to the body as they are mostly from meat. You cant just say you have a balanced diet because you have fruits and veggies, you have to study what kind of fruits and veggies your taking and how you cook them.

@@karrenpopovics2780how you cook them is also important like for example boiling mushrooms actually remove its nutrients. Microwaving them funnily enough is a healthier way to cook them. Grilling is also good to retain its nutrients

I mean, most doctors will tell you it's pointless to take vitamins and supplements. They'll tell you to take prescription meds instead because that's how they make their money. They don't get a dime if you buy supplements and vitamins elsewhere.

@@evalynn1863 That's true!!! A lot of them are "in bed" with pharmaceutical companies.

​@@RedRoseSeptember22 they don't force you to take medications. If you come in with a problem, and there's a drug that will treat it, they'll prescribe it for you. That's kind of part of their job you know. And it's irrelevant that doctors tell you it's pointless to take supplements, what matters is _scientists_ say it's pointless - at least, in most cases. These supplement companies prey on people's ignorance. People get drawn to supplements because they think 'natural' means 'safer,' which it doesn't. Natural vs unnatural chemicals are still chemicals, and they may or may not be safe. The difference between drugs and supplements is pretty simple: the former have been proven to work and tested for safety, the latter haven't.

@@RedRoseSeptember22 Can we just let this myth die? Cause that's literally the argument of EVERY supplement peddling asshole on the internet. All it takes is to say "Doctors are in bed with Big Pharma" and that then legitimizes them to sell you untested snake oil. And the irony of calling medical doctors profit hogs while using your own popularity and reach to profit off of charlatanry is lost on most of these people. Just stop saying it until you have actual proof of a actual doctors (that's doctorS with an s) prescribing actual medical drugs unnecessarily AND getting away with it.

I hope you keep your attitude. Unfortunately a lot, if not most, pharmacists are completly on board with this scheme. I couldn't believe it when our friendly pharmacist convinced my mum to buy that bs vitamin C that's all magic and natural and about 20x the price of regular vit C.

Ok I'm completely on board with this video, but there are cases when doctors actually don't tell you about a certain supplement when you really need it. And there's research to prove it's effectiveness. I'm talking about D-mannose. I've had so many UTI's and been to many doctors and none of them recommended it to me, and then I saw people talking about it in forums. Haven't had a UTI since taking it. It's not FDA approved, and not recommended by doctors, so what? It changed my life 😉

Rada Surmach while that’s wonderful that you’ve found a solution to something ailing you that doctors struggled to, this wont be the case in most other situations. the whole point of the video, as i’m sure you know, is that people are being misled into buying vitamins that may not even contain the things that the bottles say they do. in the end though if you feel better on a certain vitamin supplement than you do without it, and feel the investment is worthwhile, more power to you.

@@249aaa I agree. But I am afraid this video could also prevent people from taking vitamins or supplements when they actually need to. Most of the supplements sold from major brands actually contain the ingredients listed and are legitimate, so let's not draw big conclusions from small incidents of some ripoff companies.

Do you take regularly or once in a week ?

@@missempathetic6187 hi! vegan here too haha, I take it once or twice a week depending on the concentration of the supplement. B12 stores usually last up to 4 years so it's not something you need to take daily also because most supplements have like 10 times what you need, so once or twice a week should be just fine. If you are having doubts I would recommend you consult on how much we need of B12 to maintain cognitive function on a government health web page thingies haha I also take vitamin D for calcium absorption since I don't go out often and I'm always wearing sunscreen.

Brianna771 same. This video strangely made me feel better about having to take vitamins lol

Same! I wasn't even aware that my levels were low until a year ago when I took a blood test and it came back as well... very very lacking of vitamin D. I think 30 out of the recommended level of 120. Micrograms I think? Honestly I don't keep track. I just know that I feel better now that I take 50 micrograms a day (took 100 for the first 6 months).

Same! 2 years ago my levels were extremely low so now I have to take supplements all year around and get the levels tested once a year.

same

Same with me, I apparently had 0 vitamin D in my blood when they tested me. I guess being a vegan and never seeing the sun is not a good combo.

Thats Vitamins as a necessary. And its a good thing.

I can agree multi vitamins can most likely not help. But I disagree with certain things your saying. I know there's beef between functional medicine and conventional medicine but It's crazy how you think most people get all the vitamins that is required to not have a deficiency and in AMERICA of all places. Vitamin D and zinc and potassium are one of the most deficient vitamins out there. And just because you can get these vitamins from foods doesn't necessarily mean it's process in your body correctly aswell and or it's from a good source. I guarantee you almost everyone in this country has or will have a bad gut issue that has been proven to give vitamin deficiencies that leads to emotional and mental disorders just to name a few examples. So yes it is necessary to use supplements specially if you don't consume what your suppose to eat. Conventional medicine bloodwork doesn't fully show all vitamin deficiencies btw... essentially you won't really need to take vitamins if you know what you're consuming but odds are people can't afford quality foods or don't simply know how to nourish themselves properly.

I get regular blood tests for my autoimmune diseases and I have malabsorption so I HAVE TO TAKE VITAMINS :( hate it but I’ve blacked out a few times

Some people have absorption issues and if certain minerals are low enough then your body can't store them.

There's not as much vitamins in food today.

Whens theast time you went to the gym? Or had your TSH/T4 checked? Idk your age if postmenopausal estrogen will make you feel 100 times better

Are you supplementing by a doctor's recommendation? You'll usually get prescribed the strong tablets, that make you poop black lead lol... Even on 100mgs daily, it'll take a good while to bounce back from an iron deficiency. From personal experience, several weeks.

Thor Odinson I do go to the gym regularly and I did my blood test not too long ago and I’m fine the iron is increasing a little but I can’t feel the difference 😕

Cathrine Lundqvist I’m taking the 80 mg ones and at first he told me to take it twice a day and now that I went from 8 to 17 I am taking it only once a day and I’ve been taking it for 5 moths so I hope to feel good asap

I was recommended to take a vitamin C tablet along with the iron to help with effectiveness. I had the same problem as you, with not feeling any better after about two months. Luckily, vitamin C is water soluble, so it can’t hurt you. Maybe talk to your doctor about it.

@@komfykoala6083 Read the book, "Optimal Dose." He's a quadraplegic physician who began take D3 for the sleep disorder that paraplegics, etc., get. Then he noticed other benefits so he began prescribing it to his patients. The book is about his efforts to discover the optimal dose of D3. Psst! He says it's 30,000IU. Which, btw, is only .75mg! It doesn't matter what your fat level is. 90% of the benefit from D3 is when it's circulating. Which it only does for a few hours. After taking 6,000iu: day for 12 years, my serum level was just 30ng/mL! You need at least 100ng/mL to fight cancer.

I also wonder about that?

FYI, most probiotics that aren't refidgerated are garbage. Studies have shown that most all room temp probiotics have less than 10% of the CFU they say they originally have.

Also calcium

My doctor has me taking probiotics because of some health issues :) so far I feel great with the ones I'm taking. Fish oil is also amazing for the joints and heart!!!

Kind of the same: if the doctor prescribed them, they may help. If you take them on your own, probably you don't need them. Calcium can actually hurt you (my aunt had spasms in her hands and nervousness) so your doctor needs to prescribe the exact dose, which can or cannot be the one in the label.

(Nothing in this response is intended as a retort to you, since you didn't state a case either way about her product. I'm just replying about the general topic and speaking to general trends.) Tati's formulation for Halo Beauty is actually really well thought-out and fairly in line with research on the various components (JenLuvsReviews did, as usual, an incredible breakdown analysis of it). A lot of people want to dismiss literally anything in a pill form as being pointless cash-grab fluff, but that's as irrational as making generalizations about All Pharmaceutical Drugs or about All Surgical Remedies or whatever other toolboxes are available for issues. A big problem is that a lot of people think "supplements" and "vitamins" mean the same thing, but they definitely don't. There are lots of other compounds that *aren't* vitamins that people supplement for useful effect, and there are certain vitamins that do have useful properties when taken in greater than necessary dietary amounts, and there's nothing wrong with that, but so many people are quick to dismiss that possibility and they end up making ignorant criticisms because of it. Inositol is a B-vitamin sugar but megadoses of it are downright miraculous for many people with autism/OCD/similar cognitive problems, for instance. Alpha lipoic acid is the only thing keeping my nervous system from feeling on fire all the time. These are just a couple of examples, but the point is that I think most people really don't give supplementation an objective and even-handed look, they just want a quick generalized answer for whether it's dumb or not, and nothing in healthcare/biology is that simple.

Or those instagram hair and nail vitamins that are a blue bear.
