A member asked:

Is having a daily multivitamin necessary for a 42 year old male with normal health but borderline high cholesterol or is there a specific supplement?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: No definitive data to support supplement use. Healthy diet exercise and annual physicals should suffice.
