I’ve been taking a multivitamin for years since I became very anemic and had to be hospitalized. I was in my 20s at the time. It is never to early or late to start trying to take better care of your body. Taking the right vitamins is part of that approach.

I used to take high dose one a day multivitamins and minerals, switched to a much lighter version- didn’t notice any difference, I eat very healthy every day and try and get the energy and nutrients from foods. The garlic and omega 3 I take daily are of a lot more use to me, have not had a proper cold for 3 years.

This is an awesome post. We should always get our nutrients from our food, but unfortunately most americans are eating all the wrong foods, with the convenience of fast food on every corner. I personally fill my gap with a whole food capsule “Juice Plus+”! Raw Fruit, vegetables, & grains inside a convenient capsule with research to back it. multivitamins are a waste of money.
Thanks for sharing a great article!
Your in health,

I’ve been off vitamins for months — for just the reasons you note. I’ve recently amped up my exercise level and dropped my caloric intake, which makes it more likely that I’ll run out of nutrients. I’ve considered picking up a multivitamin again, but am hesitant — thanks for the reminder about striving to get the nutrients naturally.
