Hi Friendz, What are multivitamins ?
Multivitamins are supplements that contain many different vitamins and minerals, sometimes alongside other ingredients .
As there’s no standard for what constitutes a multivitamin, their nutrient composition varies by brand and product.
Multivitamins are also called multiminerals, multis, multiples, or simply vitamins.
They’re available in many forms, including tablets, capsules, chewable gummies, powders, and liquids.
Most multivitamins should be taken once or twice a day. Make sure to read the label and follow the recommended dosage instructions.
Multivitamins are available in pharmacies, large discount stores, and supermarkets, as well as online.
Multivitamins may be harmful in some cases
Dosage is an important factor to consider when taking multivitamins.
Although high doses of some vitamins and minerals are fine, high amounts of others can be seriously harmful.
The appropriate dosage often depends on solubility, for which vitamins are categorized into two groups:
Water-soluble: Your body expels excess amounts of these vitamins.
Fat-soluble: As your body has no easy way to get rid of these, excess amounts may accumulate over long periods of time.
Fat-soluble vitamins include A, D, E, and K. While vitamins E and K are relatively nontoxic, vitamins A and D can have toxic effects if over consumed.
The bottom line
Multivitamins are not a ticket to optimal health.
In fact, the evidence that they improve health for most people is weak and inconsistent. In some cases, they may even cause harm.
If you have a nutrient deficiency, it’s best to supplement with that specific nutrient. Multivitamins pack many nutrients, most of which you don’t need.
Additionally, you shouldn’t take a multivitamin to fix a poor diet. Eating a balanced diet of fresh, whole foods is much more likely to ensure good health over the long term.
For now, you can take certain steps:
Ask your doctor if you really need to take a multivitamin. Could you have a vitamin deficiency?
Assess your diet. Do you eat as healthy as you could? Is anything lacking?
Do you want expert nutritional advice? See a dietician. Also, Medicare beneficiaries get an annual "wellness" visit with their primary care providers.
Do not take high doses of specific vitamins, especially A and E. These may actually be harmful.
