Do I need to take a vitamin/mineral supplement, and if so, what kind?
The decision whether to take a vitamin/mineral supplement depends on many variables. Such variables include your present diet, your physical health, and any medications that you may be taking. If a supplement is needed, it is important to find one that is adequate to meet your needs. Purchasing a vitamin/mineral supplement can be confusing since there are so many to choose from. Not all vitamin/mineral supplements are created equal, and name branda are not necessarily any better than generic brands. Outside of seeking advice from a qualified health professional, the best suggestion is to read the label to be sure none of the vitamins or minerals exceed 100% of the Daily Value (DV).
