GOOD MULTI IS WISE : There are no quality studies on the long term effects of multivitamins but hundreds of good studies showing benefits from many different vitamins & minerals. It is best to get nutrients from our diet but a good quality multiple is good insurance, as few have an optimal diet. This website has fairly reliable ratings of various multivitamins.
