Do you need a MultiVitamin?
Do you need a MultiVitamin?
All nutrition experts agree that food is hands-down the best way to consume vitamins and minerals.
In some cases of nutrient deficiency, a multivitamin might be overkill, as people, may not be lacking in every single essential vitamin and mineral. “For example, someone at risk for osteoporosis may want to take calcium; someone battling iron anemia may want to take iron; a vegetarian may want to take B12.”
If you still suspect your diet is lacking, or if you can’t change what you eat due to dietary restrictions, or would want to proactively address any specific health concern, meet with your doctor or healthcare practitioner to discuss taking specific vitamins, minerals, or custom supplement formulations. He or she may order a blood test to detect nutritional deficiencies, or make recommendations about dietary modifications.
