A doctor has provided 1 answer
The kind in foods: If you get a balanced diet and are otherwise healthy, you probably don't need to take a supplemental vitamin. They have not been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease or cancer in this case. Exceptions include women of childbearing age, who should take a folate supplement to reduce the risk of a future baby with spinal cord problems, and 65+ years with fall risk should take vitamin d.
