A member asked:

Should i take vitamins before surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Are you deficient?: Vitamin supplements are only useful if you have deficiency of one or more of these. A person consuming a balanced diet does not need vitamin supplements. Discuss the matter with your doctor.
