To be fair the only reason I took any vitamins is in case I'm deficient in something specific with my modern and ahitty diet. Currently I'm not taking any but I'm just as likely deficient as anyone else.
Yeah, I do the same. My main gripe with a lot of them is that they usually have way too much of some vitamins or minerals. The only one that should be >100% IMO is B12, as there is no upper tolerable limit and many people have issues absorbing it. My multivitamin just has 100% of everything except B12 at 2000%. That way if I have a gap, it gets filled.
In our modern lives we all have D vitamin deficiency, but as you can overdose (fat soluble vitamin) you have to get a prescription for that.
Vitamin D is available OTC. It's a much lower dose than prescription strength, but it's available, at least in the US.
Yeah not in the EU, or as you say in so low doses it's not useful :-/
I get a mega dose for October, and December. Do the same, D vitamine deficiency is linked with so many problems later in life, most of them in the brain.
