Goals: Will have to be set prior to take any chemicals.

Question 5

should everyone take  vitamins?

Accepted Answer

Almost everyone: The best source of vitamins is our diet & taking vitamins does not substitute for a healthy diet. If you have an exceptionally healthy diet & minimal toxic exposures you may not need vitamins. But many foods lack vitamins & we are all exposed to toxins like heavy metals, pesticides, pcb's, dioxins etc. Which increase our need for vitamins, so taking vitamins (& minerals) provides extra insurance.

Question 6

what kind of vitamins for me to take?

Accepted Answer

Vitamins: A good multivitamin is a good idea.  It's like an insurance policy for when we don't eat right, don't sleep well, or are especially stressed.  Go to a good store or get some guidance because the popular brands are typically very week and not helpful.  If you have specific symptoms please pose another question  about them.  Peace and good health.

Question 7

how i take vitamins because im malnorish?

Accepted Answer

Best to C UR Doctor!: If you are malnourished, it's best to see your doctor to find out where your deficiencies are, so they can help you target your diet better to get the most trace minerals/supplements from your food, make sure you don't have absorption or assimilation problems. Then, if still deficient, target using supplements besides a multivitamin tablet. Many MVI tabs go thru the system undigested! So C UR Dr.!

Question 8

best prenatal vitamins to take?

Accepted Answer

Ideally with 5-MTHF: Most prenatals are fairly similar but there's a subtle yet important difference. About 30% of people can't convert Folic Acid to its active form, l-5-mthf, so to be on the safe side it's best to take one with that form like prenatal nutrients (pure encapsulations) , basic prenatal (thorne) or prenatal pro (designs for health). These also have biotin, which is important, & natural e, not synthetic.
