Are multi vitamins good?

Once daily is fine: If a person has knowledge of nutrition and has a very balanced diet, then he or she may not need to take a daily multivitamin because his foods contain enough. I recommend each person take a multivitamin because many people don't have a truly balanced diet. Some people also need extra vitamin d, calcium, folate, omega3, etc..., depending on individual issues. Generally, there are no side effects.

Multiple Vitamins: The quality of vitamins is important. Some doctors recommend multiple vitamins in general in case the person's nutrition does adequately cover all of their vitamin needs. Other doctors recommend specific vitamins if deficiencies are found.
