Question 1

what are some good vitamins to promote womens health?

Accepted Answer

Probably none: Most Americans get the daily vitamins they need with eating.  Vitamins, particularly multi-vitamins, are useless. They usually do not hurt you.  Unless you are a strict vegetarian, pregnant, on a restricted diet,  are currently fighting cancer or some other illness, or have a definite proven deficiency, they are only good for the sellers.  Save your money and get a gym membership for best results

Accepted Answer

Question 3

Question 4

what is vitamin b17?

Accepted Answer

Vitamin B17?: Since the early 1950s, a modified form of amygdalin has been promoted under the names laetrile and "vitamin b17" as a cancer cure. In reality, laetrile is not a vitamin, and studies have found it to be ineffective, dangerously toxic due to its cyanide content, and potentially lethal. Medical experts issue a strong warning against its use.

Question 5

what is best vitamins?

Accepted Answer

It depends...: This depends on your diet, activity level, health conditions ; health goals. I advise a quality multivitamin for everyone; no single best one, but some of the best are listed at http://www.Multivitaminguide.Org/, though some of my favorites like ultranutrient from pure encapsulations aren't listed. I also advise about 5000 units of d in fall ; winter (year-round if you don't get much sun).

Question 6

should i take vitamins?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I recommend the following to most people: -a general multivitamin -an omega 3 fatty acid supplement -an extra calcium with vitamin d (especially for teens and post menopausal women) -an extra vitamin d (ask for your levels to be tested) if you have chronic kidney disease, ask before taking vitamins.

Question 7

do vitamins truly work?

Accepted Answer

Most definitely: By definition vitamins are ESSENTIAL for health. Vitamin deficiencies cause anemia, heart disease, poor immune function, cancer etc. It&#x27;s best to get our vitamins from our diet but most Americans do NOT get adequate vitamins from their diet. I think what you&#x27;re really asking is if vitamins in pill form work- this depends on your needs and  the type of vitamin. See https://tinyurl.com/y8nbzbo4

Question 8

does fat store vitamins?

Accepted Answer

Some vitamins: Vitamins a, d, e and k are fat soluble.

Question 9

are vitamins worth taking?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: I advise my patients on vitamins by using this analogy:  vitamins are like your car insurance; you hope you never need to use it but it's nice to have when you do need it. If one always eats a variety of foods, 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day, low saturated fats and high fiber, then one probably does not need vitamins. That being said, i recommend one multivitamin daily.

Question 10

vitamin drug interactions?

Accepted Answer

Vitamin drug: There are many interactions between supplements and medications. There are many interactions that medications have blocking the absorption or efficacy of vitamins and supplements too. Refer to an online source to look for potential interactions.
