Nobody's Perfect!

I am always being asked about supplements - what to take, how much, what do they do. I personally take a lot of different vitamins and minerals, as regularly as possible, instead of a multi-vitamin. However, I know what I'm taking and what it's for, but not everyone does; so in general, I would advise you to take a multi-vitamin. Any brand is good, although Centrum always shows up in everything I read, so I'd go for that one. If I don't know you personally, I would not tell you to take any one thing individually, but all of us could use a multi-vitamin in our diet just to make sure you were meeting all of your nutritional requirements on a daily basis. It's hard to get everything in, especially if you are on a low-calorie diet or working out particularly hard (as in training for a marathon). It should be iron-free, unless you have anemia (it will show up in a blood test). By taking one every day, a multi-vitamin will help you to stay healthy and feel energetic. Hope you are having a good week! Melissa
