Flintstones are the best vitamins. Seriously
My 2cents
Yeah they make vitamins for kids like Flintstones and gummy bears etc.
Kids can't resist the sugary taste. If the kids have poor diets/won't eat veggies etc - hey go for it.
kids are growing and require the essential vit's. So, probably no harm in one vit supplement for kids ( what kids eat properly anyhow )
Adults- different story there. You know what to eat and what not to.
Some vit's/minerals/protein supplements can do you harm in excess.
Vit's that are water soluble just get peeed away- so is your money.
Others - like vit D can do you harm in excess. Even vit C which is water soluble can harm you in excess.
These tablets/capsules of vit's contain 'other' ingredients- colors/fillers etc. and then you mix them up 5/10/20 together and swallow them down
and who knows what the heck that mixture does to you.
Placebo effect in big here in these supplements.
I am sure you have heard of the study where even though the people where told up front it was a placebo- many said they felt better after taking the
pill.
BIG BIG business is behind these vit's and supplements. Double blind studies are lacking in most and where there have been verified and independent studies
they conclude no beneficial effect - unless you had some underlying deficiency.
