Multi-vitamins

[lovetochat]

I'm just worried that I might not get enough of certain vitamins or minerals. I guess if you have too much of a vitamin or mineral your body just gets rid of it? I mean like if you were getting enough through your food and then took a multivitamin as well - couldn't hurt?

I don't think it makes much of a difference one way or the other unless you're sure you aren't getting enough of something (greens, iron, calcium, etc...) Most people who are on very strict diets (vegans/vegetarians) usually take supplements so that they can get the vitamins and minerals that they don't get by not eating meat.
I guess in all honesty, to me, if you're already eating healthy, you're probably getting the required nutrients, but it may not hurt in the long run.
I do definitely recommend taking a supplement if you are A)trying to get pregnant or B) are on strict dietary needs

I do recommend one a day, they seem to be the best in all aspects of vitamins.
