Are Cheap Multi Vitamins And Iron Actually The Same As The More Expensive Ones?
18 Answers
I have been ill with a pesky cold: run down/ tired etc for two weeks now. I feel it’s time to give my body a helping hand, but don’t want to waste time taking the cheap pills if they don’t work as well, but don’t want to waste money on the theory ‘it costs more, so therefore it must be better’!! ESP when I have Wilkos own multi vits in the cupboard! Many thanks :-)

The cheap ones are just as good but multi-vitamin tablets rarely have the same quantities of supplements in them as you'd get from buying the individual vitamins separately.
Buy cheap Vitamin C tablets (because they might at least help with preventing futures colds) and, importantly, Vitamin D ones. (While there are loads of different opinions about whether most supplements actually do any good, with the majority suggesting that most don't, the official NHS policy is that everyone should take Vitamin D supplements during the winter months).
I get my vitamin tablets from whichever large supermarket I happen to be in. (Usually Asda).

Yes, identical in every way.
I take large amounts of Vitamin C every day. Those big, fizzy ones, that look like the things that you soak your teeth in every night ! I full gram of VitC in every one.
I have been doing this for years, since I read about Linus Pauling, one of the few people to win the Nobel Prize twice. I now have perhaps one cold a year, instead of 3-4.

Morning Sqad !
I expect you will know all about Pauling, and the others can google him ! A very brainy but, perhaps, a controversial man.
But he was very keen on the idea of Vitamin C, and I certainly seem to benefit from it.
Spathy....we have discussed generic forms of painkillers many time here on AB !
But you were quite wrong with "not a lot"....there isn't ANY difference between them !
