Question - Do additional vitamins and minerals help improve health?:

I am taking a multivitamin daily. Would it be beneficial to take extra vitamin E or calcuim?.

Guide Responds:

A multivitamin plus a well balanced diet should give one all the necessary vitamins and minerals needed for health. Mega-doses do not guarantee better health and in some instances can be harmful.

You'll also find it helpful to talk with others who may have similar experiences or problems. The best places to do that are our Forums and Chatroom.
