Specializes in Pediatrics

Eat better: Yes, vitamins are a good supplement to your diet. You are 19 years old; try to start making some small baby steps towards healthy eating as you have a long life ahead of you. Vitamins will not cancel out high cholesterol, for instance.

Yes: A multivitamin would be beneficial, but does not replace proper nutrition.
