Will multivitamins do more harm then good?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: It is my opinion that hard tablet vitamin/mineral supplements may cause potetial harm as the body is not designed to absorb and manage them properly; so there is potential in some things accumulating improperly. Plants take minerals from the soil and "gift wrap" them so we can handle them properly. Picking the right one is important even among these organic products.
