are claims in vitaminia true?

It's basically a documentary saying that they are acting as if we need a ton of vitamins when it takes very little to reach minimum vitamin requirment they had a plate of what I would consider 1 or 2 meals and said this is all you need to meet your requirements for vitamins and the supplement industry and fitness industry is billions of dollars profit. They're basically saying you just have to eat a little bit of healthy food to meet your needs. is this true? for example will eating 8 cups of vegetables be better for you than 3 cup or is eating 16 ozes of steak better than 6 oz to make optimum health. 120 grams protein better than 60? Would like to make this a long discussion

Answer

It just depends.

I haven’t seen whatever you mentioned, but maybe I will.

Research has shown that 5 servings of fruits and veggie a day decreased all mortality.

Protein is variable because of age, mass, and activity.

Answer

I think for a lot of things you can get what you “need” from food. But the RDI is basically what you need to not be deficient. A lot of vitamins you can take a lot more than the RDI amd it will have additional benefits. Obviously there is still a limit and some are easier to “overdose” on than others. It’s something I would recommend looking into. Vitamin C for example is something you can’t overdose on and it may be good to take far more than the RDI but again you should look into it yourself and determine what’s best for yourself from your research.
