    Vitamin D should be taken with meal that has fat in it.

    Multivitamins aren't worth the money. If you have a deficiency focus on that, everything else you get from your eating.

    Most name brands or store brands (like Walgreens, CVS, etc) that offer close to 100% RDA of just about everything will be good if you feel you need one. The specially made packets and high dose supplements tend to be a rip off. If your Dr. recommends a single supplement (like your Vitamin D) he/she will give you an idea how much to take or even prescribe one.

    I take Kirkland Daily Multi. It has both vitamins and minerals and is about $20 for a year's supply. I also take D and prescription potassium per my Dr.

    It is cheap insurance but I don't need or take one.

    I'm kind of in the "it is cheap enough and won't hurt anything so, why not?" camp. Getting into megadoses is another animal.

    I would never try to talk anyone out of taking one because I don't know how they eat. I really push myself on the "getting a variety" front and I have recent blood tests. Even still I have a few supplements as a result of those blood tests.
