i was advised by a very good doctor that to not take vitamins or supplements unless your lacking in that vitamin or mineral. if your not lacking in it, you will be spending alot of money on all these pills that will be flushed out your system via urine . get a blood test every 3 -6 months and then take a supplement if deficient ONLY.
PS. a well balanced diet would ensure you are not lacking in vitamins but we always sometimes need that boost..
just FYI because knowledge is power etc etc
xxx good luck

Well i'm a nurse, and that is not what I was taught. U take ur vitamins, take half in the morning and half at night. ur body takes WHAT IT NEEDS, then discards the rest, you take it in the AM, then you eat thru the day, then you take the other half at nite, and ur body will take what it didn't recieve enough of from the day. what you have to be careful of is Fat soluable vitamins you can OD on those bcuz ur bidy will store then, but water soluable are just fine, ur body gets rid of what it doesn't need0 -
