Vitamin supplements: What can you tell me about them?

I'm trying to figure out not only IF I should begin taking vitamin supplements, but if so, then WHAT?

I've been reading a little on the internet, and it's just confusing me.



What can YOU tell me about taking vitamin supplements?

    Why do you feel your current diet is lacking something so you are attempting to fill that gap with a vitamin/supplement?

    For me I felt I was not eating enough raw fruits and vegetables to keep me healthy so I filled that gap with Juice Plus+ which is just more fruit, vegetables, and berries in a capsule.

    Figure out what you think you're not getting enough of through your diet or if you have any health issues that can be helped by vitamins then choose those ones.

    I take a B100 complex because I have a history with anxiety. I take Vitamin C with meals to help with iron absorption because I'm vegetarian and I take a vitamin D supplement because I don't think I get enough through sunshine up here in the Great White North.
