   From my personal experience……
   Vitamin C does not really help with preventing or shortening the duration of a cold or cough but it works for some other family members who take it in an effervescent form for that. However, I noticed it helps with bleeding gums which I get from time to time when run down.

   Vitamin B complex really does help me when my nerves are frayed. I think I have a genetic higher requirement for the B complex vitamins.

   It is best to depend on food as a source of all nutrients but some times we may need a little extra and modern food is not as nutritional as that our ancestors ate….what with all the pesticides and additives.

   Are you conducting a survey?

   I think if we mention brand names it could be viewed as spam plus personally am not here to promote any brand to be honest with you.

   I take B complex in a time release formulation and sublingual B12 when I can remember to do so. Vitamin C which I occasionally take …..sometimes it is in tablet [time release] form….other times in effervescent form. There is evidence for effervescence helping with absorption but a time release formulation might be better if there is some underlying healtrh issue such as bleeding gums or easy bruising..

   Actually I have taken vitamins and various other supplements on and off for years…and I’ve never noticed any difference in how I felt at all. I hope they are helping and filling in gaps where my diet isn’t ideal, but I can’t tell any difference in how I look or feel between when I take them and when I don’t.

   If you have a proper diet and are healthy, you’ll never need them.

   Only use them if a doctor recommends it, otherwise it’s wasted money (though it makes supplement companies rich to persuade you that you do need them!)
