October 4, 2009 Do you need a multi-vitamin? If you are in good health, then a well balanced diet should provide you with the vitamins, minerals and energy you need. Whole foods also provide you with healthful substances such as phytochemicals and fibre which a multi-vitamin does not contain. However, taking a multivitamin every day won't hurt, especially in case you miss all your nutrients on that occasional junk-food day. In that case, look for a standard reputable brand. Also, don’t forget, that a vitamin D supplement would be beneficial, espeically from October to May. |
