CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Dmtafra I found this documentary refeshingly unbiased and unmanipulative, showing what we do and don't know about vitamins without pushing an interpretation on the viewer. I highly enjoyed the playful instances of song and colorful, but unintrusive, animations. The anectodal stories are made relevant by statistics and add an engaging dimension to facts instead of just playing on feelings to convince the audience of a pushed viewpoint. I found the whole narration very NVC and trustworthy and the information well-packaged and pedagogical. I appreaciated this documentary enough to go and pay for it after having watched a pirated copy, and it was good enough to actually make me think about my life choices and multivitamin consumption.

adonis98-743-186503 Almost one billion of us take a regular dietary supplement, mainly vitamin tablets. Vitamins are enthusiastically endorsed by celebrities, and vitamin-fortified foods line our supermarket shelves. But how safe are these products? Is it true that vitamins are "natural" and therefore can't do you any harm? Vitamania: The Sense and Nonsense of Vitamins could have been a terrific and well interesting documentary but unfortunately fall short on both expectations and basically on the message it tried to send that came out a bit meh as a whole.

Sembiance 15% childish songs and animations 70% personal stories about how too much of a vitamin or too little was either good or bad 10% travel to locations to see fish/sheep/ice 5% facts and science and conclusions and actionable infoI wish the movie was more serious and shorter, much like the Veritasium videos the host makes. Unfortunately it isn't. It has several multi minute long made up "children's songs" along with horribly childish animations. It's almost like the producers were afraid to put too many facts or conclusions or opinions into it.It started out by stating how many people take multivitamins and then asked the question, "should you take them, how do you know?" But it never really answered this question and ended with "If you take them, take them seriously... fade to credits.". Sigh.

jhendriksnh This is a very unique documentary. It shows both sides of the story and gives you a feeling that they are not pushing an idea in your head. I really liked it and it was very interesting.
