A member asked:
Studies say multivitamins aren't needed, maybe even harmful.this is assuming proper diet that most people (like me) don't have. is a multi ok then?

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. Poor food quality and soil depletion lowers nutritional value w/food today.
