But when it comes to more basic things like when to take our vitamins or where to store them, we're often not so smart. It seems simple enough - just pop a pill to get the nutrients you need. But in fact, all the do's and don'ts of vitamins can be hard to digest. To see how much people really know, we came up with a pop quiz. Follow along and find out.
Vitamins are a good source of energy.
To tell us who's right, we turned to nutrition expert Jeffrey Blumberg. Lots of people think that vitamins will give them vim and vigor and pep but vitamins don't do that, just calories. Calories that you get from protein and fats and carbohydrate give you energy. Vitamins help you convert that energy to give you that vim and vigor but they don't give you energy by itself. I'd say with food.
