So, Ive been taking one of each of the following daily:
1 cinnamon pill
1 Metamucil pill
1 garlic pill
1 fish oil pill
1 cranberry pill
Now starting today Ive added Super B-Complex to this mix. Am I wasting my time/money? Has anyone ever taken just 1 of those pills a day or do you take the recommended 2/pills day? Thanks for any input

I've never taken any of those and I'm perfectly healthy. Why not just eat the foods that contain these nutrients instead?0

I take 1 super-b complex a day. (I used to be on a drug that lowered my ability to ingest b vitamins and now I am just using up my supply.)
But don't go crazy: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/09/opinion/sunday/dont-take-your-vitamins.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
Unless you have a reason for a low level of a vitamin - you probably don't need it. You can get tested by your doctor or at a lab for a reasonable cost.0
