Did anybody watch Save Money Good Health 7.30pm last night ? They were discussing vitamins, supplements, probiotics etc. not directly aimed at menopause but in general. Was interested to see that people who were taking a multitude of vitamins were put on a 6 week trial of stopping them and then blood test results. Results after were surprising as there was no difference whatsoever in before and after ! Doctor summised to not bother wasting our money as we get everything we need from a good diet, the only vitamin they did recommend was vitamin D in the winter. All this time ive been spending a fortune and wondering why I never feel any better so im not bothering any more. Im wondering how other ladies feel about this ? All I know is I now have it on good authority not to waste another penny and check out my diet instead increase fruit and veg . Outrageous prices for pills that maybe we don't need, what do you all think ?

My belief is that that you don't just pop a general multivitamin and expect it to do any good as there is a little of everything and not a lot of anything in them. But I do believe that certain vitamins are beneficial, such as the B group and the Vit D. But I wouldn't take anything all the time - just do a three month course and then break.
However, I do feel that oil are essential - Omega 3, 6 and 9. Very few people get enough of these in their diets and our bodies do need them.
