Time for another edition of 'From the Archives'! For all you new readers, this is when I 'repurpose' old content (emails, handwritten notes from high school, FB messages etc.) to use as a blog post. It's not lazy, it's upcycling!
Today, I'm featuring an email from 2011 in which I asked my immediate family plus in-laws their thoughts on vitamins.

Hi Everybody,
I have been pondering this question for a while now and for the first time in my life, WebMD has not been very helpful.
Should "we" (aka human beings) take vitamins? Or are they a scam? I don't want to waste my money if they are indeed a scam. However, I want to live a long, healthy life and have beautiful skin, nails and hair.
Please weigh-in with any thoughts/knowledge!!!!
Thanks,
Margaret

I'm not sure, but next time I go in and get another Africa shot I will ask my doctor.
Cheers,
Alex

Its a mystery. I have heard both sides - but I would guess to cover your basis you should attempt to get all your vitamins/nutrients from real food rather then pills and if you can't take the vitamins.

Who really knows. I've heard that 90% is bogus and 10% is good... you just can't pick out the 10% (what and when your body needs it, if that makes sense). I think a multivitamin can't hurt.
Good tip Anna - getting vits from food is probably the best bet.

Thanks, y'all. I appreciate it! I have an old bottle of multivitamins that I will start working my way through. If I feel different at the end of the bottle, I will amazon.co.uk myself some more!
Alex, let me know what your shot doc says!
