expensive vitamins - worth the extra?

[nowirehangers]

Have been v sick recently and still recovering. A friend recommended solgar vitamins to me but have just looked at the price - £95 for 180 and am
However, the vit supplement I use now cost something like 99p from Savers , which is the other extreme
I'd pay all the cash if it made me better, after all health is priceless, but is it just a marketing con? Grateful for any advice

Marketing con.
You don't need vits. at all. Just eat good fresh food andget some exercise.

moondog please come and cook for me

I can't be fagged atm

Just eat porridge,good bread, cheese and fruit then.

oh good

phew

and wine obv

I will chuck dh a chorizo occasionally to keep him sweet

Yes, wine v important to keep pecker up.

Do all that, moondog - though exercise tricky as am still weak
someone swore they made a miracle recovery from similar condition with solgar but ... hmmm

if you're going to spend that much I'd spend it on a nutritionist to tell you where the gaps in your diet are

everyone is different

esp if you are ill

I had a diet drawn up for me for ME by a friend who is a nutritionist

Agree go to a nutritionist but if you DO have to get supplements ( and yes moondog we all know fresh food is best but sometimes you need a little extra boost) Solgar are the best as you don't get all the bulking agents the cheaper ones use to keep costs down.Expensive but worth it -only short termthough to kick start yourself then hit the fresh foods!!

That's far too much money.

There's only 2 brands of multivitamins which I would recommend - Multibionta and another one whose name escapes me now! I only take them in the winter.

thanks, bossy, that's what I needed to know - couldn't work out how they could possibly justify charging that amount
