A Guide to Vitamin Selection

Our bodies need vitamins to keep us healthy and in tip-top shape. Our main source of vitamins is from the food we eat. Most of us, however, do not get enough of these vitamins just from food.
 
Multivitamins are dietary supplements that help us meet our daily vitamin requirements. To determine how much and what kind of vitamins we need to best suit our physical conditions and lifestyles, it is important to consult doctors and dietitians. The following, however, are general guidelines when it comes to vitamin selection according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health:
 

• Multivitamins supplement an already healthy and balanced diet; it is meant to make up for some vitamins that we are unable to get just from our diet and does not make up for unhealthy eating habits.
• For pregnant women, excessive amounts of Vitamin A intake has been linked to heightened risks of some birth defects.
• Adult men and postmenopausal women should also avoid excessive amounts of iron supplements.
• Always check the “supplement facts” label on multivitamins.
