Vitamins for health

Many people wonder do I need to take a multivitamin, do I need to have my children take multivitamins. Are they a necessary component to staying healthy? What vitamins do I need more of, or less of?

Multivitamins can easily give you the needed nutrients you are missing in your daily diet. A recent study from the National Institutes of Health says there is not enough evidence to make a firm recommendation for or against the use of multivitamins for a healthier you.

Doctors continue to recommend multivitamins for people under certain circumstances. For example if you do not eat well balanced meals three times a day, you may need a multivitamin to get your daily recommended doses of vitamins. However, The best source of needed nutrients is a balanced diet.

Doctors also suggest multivitamins for people whose health conditions, dietary choices, lifestyle habits or medications deprive their bodies’ ability to get the proper amounts of key nutrients from foods. Aging can make it more difficult for the body to absorb vitamins such as B-12, a nutrient that may reduce the risk of anemia, and vitamin D, which helps maintain bone strength.
