On our news recently in Australia, we had another item about multivitamins. It said that multivitamins don't help us live longer. I would have thought that they wouldn't but would help you to feel healthier while alive.
As of March 2024, approximately 59 million Americans used some type of vitamins or supplements regularly, spending an average of $510 annually, according to greatgreenwall.org
What are the health benefits of taking a multivitamin? Multivitamins are meant to fill gaps in your diet. Vitamins and minerals are substances your body needs to survive, grow, and work the way it should. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains should provide the vitamins and minerals you need. But if you can't always eat healthy meals, taking supplements might help.
