You don't run 26 miles at five minutes a mile on good looks and a secret recipe. Olympic Gold Medalist Frank ShorterA good well-rounded diet. Some might need some vitamin supplements but I think there is a lot of marketing at play. If I had to narrow it down it would be iron for, C for immunity and cell heath, blood oxygenation, calcium for bones, and Vit D in northern or southern temperate regions. A standard 1 a day vitamin is plenty for most people. Up here in the far north they recommend mega doses of Vitamin D through the winter.
Since I'm already taking the above supplements; I have to agree with you. What is a mega does of vitamin D? My wife was taking 10,000 units per day and her doctor told her to cut way back. She was getting some very interesting results, though.
About 2-3X the recommended dose of 600 IU. We were taking 2000 IU a day for the last several years there.Add another, Vitamin I. Can't seem to get away from it.
I take 1000 in each day and I felt the difference almost immediately. My wife has something similar to restless leg and the high doses of vitamin D reduced the incidence by about 90 percent.
I do not take anything, but I eat healthful meals every day.
