Hey guys, I have recently started taking Centrum Adults under 50 sort of as an insurance policy to make sure I get my vitamins in case of deficiencies. I know that eating a balanced diet is the best way, but how beneficial is taking a multivitamin, especially for a teenager? Thanks!

    I'm 22 I take a general multivitamin everyday, as well as a fish oil capsule. But that's just me. :)

    Very beneficial. Fills any holes left in your diet for vitamins and minerals. I take a multivitamin and fish oil twice daily.
