Questioning whether it's really necessary to take a daily multivitamin?

Supplements should never be a substitue for good health practices, so someone who eats sugary snacks all day, doesn't eat any fruit or veg, never gets enough sleep, and smokes, can't expect his multivitamin to keep him healthy!

For those who know they are lacking nutrition, either due to a health issue or because of pregnancy or any other life circumstance, a multivitamin can be the answer to keep from falling below recommended nutrient levels.

For otherwise healthy people, supplements offer an extra layer of protection, on top of healthy living habits, like a safety belt on a careful driver, so you know you're doing your part to fill in any nutritional gaps from your daily diet, and get the most out of each day.

Never take more than the recommended dosage, and if unsure, always check with a healthcare professional.
