Can i take b-12 supplment or any multi-vitamin pills or drinks? are they good for you, and do they even work?

Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

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. B12 (sublingual is best) is good for vegetarians, nerve health, energy.
