Vitamin-takers make me frown (part perplexity and part disapproval). Vitamins aren't some unknown science which demand you take pseudo-medical supplements lest your body collapse. Just go outside and get some sun when you can, eat a few limes a day, and basically have a halfway decent diet. You are not put under half the physical pressure (or nutritional scarcity) of the vast majority of people throughout human history, and they got by. Instead, you probably have most of the world's produce available to you. Take your pick.

Keep in mind that vitamins are also prescribed for some medical conditions. They're a reliable and unintrusive way of getting necessities in case you need them. Of course, if you don't have any major medical conditions, then taking vitamins is kind of pointless and not worth much.

Some people do need to take them and it can help if you don't have access to the the regular supply (fruits, sunlight etc) for whatever reason. Ideally if you get enough sunlight and eat healthy you usually don't need them.
I am constantly amazed at some of the things I see suggested for those. Is this really that widespread across East Asia? The closest thing I've ever had to a folk remedy was chicken noodle soup when I was sick and that's because the stuff is warm, easy to make and easy to eat.Asians like to believe any random health benefit crap they hear.

Chicken noodle soup actually works though, hell, it's great for a hangover. because it'll replace the lost proteins, salts, and water that cause a hangover in the first place.
and yea, Chinese folk medicine is still really weird and really popular. Ground up rhino horn anyone?

I can attest to weird Chinese folk remedies... I suppose I was never really inflicted with most of them personally, but I have seen some in action.
Vitamin content aside, gummies are tasty. At the amount thats in every gummy, its impossible to overdose on that vitamin, so most people are good ;P All of this is assuming you eat one or two a day of course.

Age and mystery have made them powerful remedies.

well, my mom wasn't that oldschool folk shit. She was a chemist working for a pharmaceutical company so she should have known better but she's also pretty damn nationalistic and gullible in terms of what 'reliable internet sources' are.
All in all, most health advice from Chinese miniblogs (I'm looking at you WeiBo) are bullshit retarded
why do you think asian families always have a bunch of random massage equipment around?

I need B12 and iron so I drink energy drinks andthe blood of newbornseat some nuts. Vegetarian diet so I gotta watch out a bit. Same with other dietary habits, some people have retardedly broad ranges of allergies to a degree where it can become problematic, other people are college students and eat ramen all day.
[04:55] Lianru: i3uster is actuallly quite cute
Only thing I'm 'allergic' to is Lactose, and it's not really an allergy, just intolerance. I can still consume it, it'll just give me stomach cramps and leave me on the toilet for an hour.
Sometimes, when I hate myself, I'll drink milk.
