I am prepared to be told iabu as I don't know the ins and outs of this. Friend posted this on fb, along with a pic of tablets, apparently all natural and whole food based-my response is to think how, if it in a hard tablet? Are the fruit and veg ground down? I sense she is about to start selling them and really want to know if it's a complete scam as I've no interest but I'll need to be very clear with my no, she's very persuasive. I know if I 'kill' the belief I'll just have to say no once.

Aibu to think supplements alone can't provide everything? I view them as an (unnecessary ) extra but they definitely seem more common atm.

Her next updates will be all about how she is 'soooooo busy and is trying to get around to responding to all of your messages - please be patient!'

That's one of my favourites - followed by any mention of attending conferences abroad or getting a white Audi.

You can hit your NRV's in vitamins and minerals in tablet form, but there's far more to healthy dietary intake than than that!
Ask her about amino acids and essential fats for starters, doubt a few tablets can contain all that. Then ask her in what form are the minerals? Has bio availability been taken into account? Does she arrange for blood tests to be done at regular intervals to ensure the body is absorbing everything.......

It has begun - 'pm me hon'... I know she didn't ask for or want my opinion but I hate seeing people, Inc her, being completely duped so there is a part of me that wants to point out the issues.

Honestly, any kind of glorified multivitamin is a scam, there was a watchdog programme a few years back that said basically they're useless as the body often won't absorb them and they aren't effective. You're much better eating a balanced diet.
