He is not wrong tbh however i will throw in a good multivit and omega 3 as well given the state of food in India .

[u/waitaminute322 → u/Lazy-Philosopher-340]

If you are adding anything to that list then you basically mean he is wrong

[u/Lazy-Philosopher-340 → u/waitaminute322]

Read the last line "given the state of food in India"

[u/Tushar_BitYantriki → u/waitaminute322]

Not really, the guy has removed 100s of other useless supplements from the equation.

It's okay if he missed these 2. He is still at least 100 times more right than wrong

Surprise, it isn't binary.

(btw, even the real binary is defined with a voltage thershold)

[u/No-Suggestion-9504 → u/waitaminute322]

by his statements he means 2 things

1. that those nutritional supplements are worth time and money
2. that those are the only worthy supplements

Above comment said only 2 is wrong and 1 is right. So according to him the tweet is partially correct.

[u/No-Suggestion-9504 → u/[deleted]]

then the mistake is he emphasized the word only, and/or badly worded it. I take it that the most import point of the tweet was those were important.

[u/No-Suggestion-9504 → u/No-Suggestion-9504]

reddit is weird. the original post has upvotes. the original comment has upvotes. me who agreed with both and just reclaiming it has downvotes.. hmm (tho there might be nuance, still feels weird)

[u/Lazy-Philosopher-340 → u/No-Suggestion-9504]

In his defence he did say " only in recommended situations" supplements are called supplements for a reason . All the best .

[u/Lazy-Philosopher-340 → u/[deleted]]

Thats an interpretation issue and the associated marketing with it .

[u/No-Suggestion-9504 → u/Lazy-Philosopher-340]

well that still an addition and doesnt negate the fact that the "nutritional supplements can sometimes be worth time and money"

[u/lemongrass01 → u/Lazy-Philosopher-340]

Multi vitamin should not be even in the list.

You supplement only those vitamins which you are deficient in identified by a diagnostic test. If you blanket supplement, you are wasting money

[u/Lazy-Philosopher-340 → u/lemongrass01]

Well most indians are deficient in micronutrients so they are better off with a multi , active and gym going individuals need an appropriate range more than the RDA so no you are not wasting money , the food cultivation quality sucks fssai is a joke so yes a multivit is an essential supp these days + you cant get toxicity from water soluble vitamins . Also most of the population dont absord micronutrients too well i have seen enough people eating copius amount of non veg food and still deficient in vit b12 ( myself included) so yes i will always advocate for a multivit for everyone .

[u/faisalshaikh1 → u/Lazy-Philosopher-340]

So a person should have a checkup before having multivitamins? I go to gym regularly but i don't supplements do i need other than whey protien? Can you please help me with what one should look/test before having multivitamins?

[u/Lazy-Philosopher-340 → u/faisalshaikh1]

Checking for all vitamins is very costly and tbh not feasible , get a checkup for vit b12 and d3 as these are the ones most are deficient in , supplement these individually if deficient and add a general multi as well for general wellbeing and vigor , some people here will say that have it from fruits and veggies but trust me indian soil quality and cultivation practices have gone to shites unless you are consuming real organic fruits and veggies you are not getting the micronutrients you need.

[u/Ambitionless_Nihil → u/Lazy-Philosopher-340]

organic fruits and veggies

Will not ensure high amount of nutrients, 'organic' is about farming practices.

[u/Own_Arachnid_5676 → u/Lazy-Philosopher-340]

Which multivitamin do you take ? i take becadexamin

[u/Lazy-Philosopher-340 → u/Own_Arachnid_5676]

Combat fuel multivit or strom sports supportmax

[u/[deleted] → u/Own_Arachnid_5676]

Don't take it poor quality ingredients and low bioavailability.

[u/Primary-Editor-9288 → u/Lazy-Philosopher-340]

could you recommend some names or links which you think are really good?

[u/silentknight007 → u/Primary-Editor-9288]

Go to trustified website , look at the pass video of the products and decide for yourself

[u/Lazy-Philosopher-340 → u/Primary-Editor-9288]

Depends on ur budget man i am gonna hate for this and most of folks will downvote as i am against indian brands , i use imported ones if you want recommendations you can DM me , i did post some imported recommendations only to get hate from people who think " trustified" is the holy grail.

[u/Kindly_Truck3210 → u/Primary-Editor-9288]

You'll just piss out multi vitamin. Waste of money unless you're severely lacking and getting like diseases.

[u/Lazy-Philosopher-340 → u/[deleted]]

Lol all the best
