Vitamins
Agree with most comments with caveat...
Those with pernicious anaemia/ gut issues should watch the b12 folic
acid levels-some of my "clients" have regular b12 injections and feel the benefit.
Iron is a good example, you won't absorb it without co administration of vitamin c so best check your bottles.
There is active research about exactly how much Vitamin D you actually need now. The Menzies Centre in Hobart just embarked on a big recruitment drive for patients for a mega dose once in a while study as opposed to daily.
I agree with all the balanced diet stuff, if you eat healthily you shouldn't need supplements. And it is right that you just pish it all away.
But, poor diet, medications and ill health, plus alcohol can affect your requirements.
Not preaching but if you feel you need extra advice your Gp can do a Medicare extended care plan that makes it a lot cheaper to see a dietician or lots of other allied health experts.'
I'm a Gp so I know my **** !!!
