FEATURED "Vitamins & Juicing Is Pointless"

test
Fact is, you are pissing out more than what your body can efficiently process. Which is why y’all’s urine be Florescent colors when you go pee after a multivitamin.

Typically that's from excessive b-vitamins or saw palmetto (if its a "men's" vitamin blend). Drink a can of Amp or the OG Whoop Ass and you'll see the same thing happen 'cause they're both loaded with b-vitamins.
 
Just straight highlighter fluid sometimes 😂 first time I seen that I thought it was a sign I was dying
Nah when it’s the other way, is when you need to worry.

Like when your piss the color of apple juice.

True. Vitamin B makes up the bulk of what most multivitamins are made of.

(Makes people think it’s working by giving them a lil umph… pretty slick)
 
It's funny how people dedicate time and energy to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

The average diet of anyone in a developed country provides their body enough minerals and vitamins to survive.

Then here comes the "health and fitness" industry coming around and telling you that you are unhealthy and you look like shit.

Lol, but most of these people are on steroids and HGH, pretending to eat chicken breast, brown rice and broccoli.

Or they are doctors saddled with debt and decided to sell themselves out and tell you how much you suck because you don't fast or juice.

If you count calories, meal prep, do moderate exercise and sleep 7 to eat hours, you'll be fine.

Vitamins, hack diets and other quackery is a way to obscure a simple solution to a simple problem.

But simplicity requires self-control and willingness to look at the world truthfully.
 
Yep

Did a deep dive last year into supps and 90% are bs.

They dont actually have clinical doses and are synthetic and cant be processed by your body.

Propietery protein blends
Pre Workout
Fat burners
most vitamins
Testosterone boosters

All bs



All I take is pure protein isolate to supplement my protein from food ( the brand I use legit only has like 3 ingredients) and I cycle pure creatine monohydrate

Get all my other nutrients from food as well.

Best I have ever felt and im a stones throw away from 40
My question is, why do our brains and our circulatory, respiratory, and nervous systems, process and extract the chemicals affiliated with caffeine, which is synthetic, but ignore vitamins that are synthetic. We definitely get something from the caffeine in pre workout, but it completely ignores the other stuff all together?

Not asking to be combative, asking to be informed
 
I’ve never heard that vitamins were created with the fast food industry. I thought they were micronutrients just as natural as minerals that are just as important as macronutrients.

Vitamin supplements are much different than vitamins that come from food tho. For example, a vitamin c pill won’t be anywhere as effective as eating an orange. The body receives an orange and uses all the nutrients inside of it to take what it needs, as it needs it. A lot of the other nutrient content in an orange allows the body to receive the vitamin c. W a synthetic vitamin pill, it’s hard to tell what the body does w it, if anything bc it’s not an isolated machine that can be hacked with reductionist theories.

As for juicing, it’s worked hella well for me. I’ve gone on 48 hour all fruit or all juice fasts and it’s contributed a lot to my increased health over the last few years. I plan on doing an 30 day all fruit/fruit juice fast this year at some point as I’ve heard a lot of great things from ppl who have before.

Additionally, vitamins and minerals from natural sources like dried and wet herbs, I believe, are superior to any supplement or synthetic vitamin. Naturally occurring > synthetically manufactured
Juicing is cool but juices have alot of sugar. Its one thint to sit and eat 5 apples in a 16 hour period and drinking a juice with 5 apples in 10 minutes. That amount of sugar hitting your body all at once in 10 mins is alot.

But if you been doing it for years, you know what you doing.

Vitamins and juicing does change your life, but it takes months. If you are changing your diet and really grinding to live a healthier lifestyle, you probably won’t see great change until 2 months in. It’s like that first month or two you have to get rid of all the garbage physical and mental. Patients is key (and I’m losing it), but it’s important.

"patience" 🤓
 
-I take a vitamin D supplement that's for Knees & Joints at least 3 days out the week. I remember years ago when I went to the doctor my doc at the time prescribed for me Vitamin D due to having low levels of vitamin D in my labs. I live in the Midwest so outside of spring/summer there isn't very much sunlight.

-I normally do a smoothie about once every month or two with some frozen fruit & some juices. I drink that over a period of 2 days. Then about every 6 months I do a herbal supplement that's advertised as a "2 week program" where you take herbal pills (about 2) in the morning & evening but it's enough pills to last for 30-45 days.

I do this ^^^ because I have a lot medicines that I take and in some cases it's maybe 2-3 meds a day depending on if my ailments are bothering me.
 

He kind of has somewhat of a point about the sugar. When it comes to sugar though imo, it comes down to 2 types good sugar & bad sugar. When I think of good sugar the type that comes from fruits & vegetables and bad sugar shit that's been processed like gmos. Then again who knows when it comes to these foods b/c bananas will start to go bad within a 1-2 days after you buy them.

Supplements are really a tricky thing because I remember years ago watching a video about taking some vitamin C supplements could cause cancer if taken on a consistent basis. I went to the doc last year to ask him about my supplements and one of them were for weight loss. He told me to throw them out.

Interestingly enough, there have been success stories in other countries using IV mega doses of vitamin C to cure cancer. I watched a documentary on it years ago (pre 2011) and supposedly the only side effect was horrible thirst.



^^^ This article is more recent and talks about it. The research is ongoing.

Disagree.

The average person does not get the proper nutrients needed. The average person consumes too much processed foods high in calories, sodium and sugar and low in protein. This isn’t just a fast-food problem, this is on the shelves of your grocery stores.

Look at the baskets of the majority of shoppers, they pile high frozen foods and boxed foods more than produce and meats/poultry/fish.

Then look at the person with this type of basket and typically they’re going to be overweight, and there is a higher chance their kid is just as overweight.

Convenience outweighs proper nutrition for most people.

Yeah, fitness freaks do take supplements but like already stated their body just doesn’t use the excess and gets rid of it.

It’s mostly pointless for the gym rat who is already getting their proper nutrition through correct and healthy eating to be taking supplements.

It’s not pointless for the one not getting proper nutrition or has deficiencies.

So, I disagree that it’s a made up problem or that it’s quackery for the average person as the average person is likely more deficient in most of their nutrients than they should be.
 
I wouldn't go so far as to say taking vitamins or juicing is pointless, but I don't think that taking a bunch of pills should replace eating well. Like I take iron because I'm anemic. I eat iron rich foods, but it's not enough so I the supplement.
My ol lady anemic. She does iron infusions. This the time of the year where she doing 5 infusions in a row, once per week.
Food and supplements aren't enough for her.
I've went to a few of her infusions.
That shit sad. She in the same room with people who getting cancer treatment.

It is a made up problem.

Study after study shows that vitamins don't reduce signs of aging, cardiovascular disease, or cognitive decline. You know, the things that are actually signs of health. Things that will improve by eating calories at maintenance and getting some sleep.


Most people eating like a typical first worlder aren't deficient in anything besides dietary discipline and moderate exercise.

Seriously, if you are eating 1800 - 2000 calories a day, you are not deficient in nutritients. All food, even the processed shit, has nutritional value. You know why? Because nobody with a diet of Big Macs and Subway sandwiches had went to the doctor for starvation or lack of nutrition.

Instead of getting dietary discipline, people go spend $20 on vitamins that do nothing, because eating an apple is too much of a stretch.

Then blame the food for having sugar and being expensive to eat healthy so rather starve themselves by juicing or whatever the fuck.

Most people don't know how many calories they eat a day, how many calories they need, or their marcos...but they need vitamins...that makes no sense.

Vitamins are for cancer patients, AIDS patients, pregnant women, immunosuppressant people - people that have compromised bodies, where vitamins are used as an assurance.

It's not for a motherfucker that is too lazy in an era of an overabundance of food, to pick nutrient dense food.

People rather spend money on the idea of being healthy than actually be healthy.

Vitamins are the biggest health scam since the food pyramid but if it make people feel better than go ahead and drop that $25 lol.
 
Vitamins are fine. You just need to drink a sufficient amount of water for your body to absorb it. If anyone in here has ever takena multi-vitamin and pissed golden piss, thats excess vitamin B that you're body couldn't absorb.

Now, when it comes to juicing, that shit is not as healthy as people think because when you remove the pulp, from the fruit/vegetable, you also remove the fiber.

Really what I should have said is that your body doesn't always process them properly or like other people have said its being pissed out and your wasting your money
