Vitamins are things your body needs op, if you have too little of them you get sick, if you have too many of them you get sick. You need to contain. Supplements are shit, do not EVER try them out, theyre not FDA approved and theyre the equivallent of sawdust and filler.

Zinc and Iron are metals that your body physically needs, you can get them from red meats and chick peas. There is no vitamin pills are necessary if you have a deficiency, obviously, but unless its a condition or a disease you can easily get them by a change of diet. Those people who swear by them are most likely suffering from the placebo effect of the drug, nothing else. A 'miracle cure' is just that, a miracle, and i doubt god is going to spend his time making pills for idiots to buy

I've tried a bunch of supplements like royal jelly and chia seeds and so on, I've never been healthier

I've only ever really believed in melatonin. Shit always gave me a good nights rest with a shit ton of dreams

Everything else was a guess. You can't trust supplements are even real apparently. I say just eat well.

Really did benefit of zinc. Less allergic reactions and better skin. Use zinc picolinate or zinc citrate with 30-50mg zinc (effective).

I wouldn't recommend taking zinc or iron because those can easily be obtained from food. Although I occasionally take magnesium and l theanine both for anxiety. like 70% of americans are magnesium deficient, so thats one supplement that you could probably use some of

Magnesium helps anxiety?

i take 2 x 500 mg vit C as ascorbic acid before sleep helps revitalize my skin and removes wrinkles near my eyes.

with that i take Iron sulfate 200 mg every now and then just after the Vit C as it helps absorbing iron

Some 'supplements' like 5htp and melatonin are more or less real drugs that the FDA won't let doctors prescribe you on weird technicalities, and those I find useful.

Besides that I hear they aren't a great way to absorb nutrients. You know what IS a great way to ensure you're getting all your vitamins (outside of eating well?) Breakfast cereal. Do your research, take a look at the side of the box, and you will find that the better ones are packed with vitamins and minerals, especially the ones that are a little harder to find in food sources. I have always bought breakfast cereal, it is very cheap, and I have great health even in times where I can't afford to stock my fridge with a lot of different vegetables and fruits.

Its probably the most natural anti-anxiety/stress mineral. In fact, its possible your feelings of anxiety directly come from a magnesium deficiency. One of the more safer vitamins to take as well
