Your best source
of vitamins and other nutrients is a balanced diet--one containing all
food groups, including plenty of fruits and vegetables, but in todays
world, it is often difficult to maintain proper nutritional needs due
to poor eating habits or too busy to eat a well-balanced diet, then
you may benefit from taking a daily multivitamin/multimineral product
to supplement your nutritional needs.
What you should know
When choosing
a multivitamin/multimineral product, look for one containing the essential
vitamins A,
D,
E,
B1 (thiamin),
B2 (riboflavin),
B3 (niacin),
B6,
B12,
C,
and folic acid.
It should provide 100 percent of the daily value for each vitamin in
a single daily dose. Avoid products that contain more than 100 percent
of the daily value for vitamins A and D, which can be toxic in high
doses.

The essential minerals
to look for in a multivitamin/multimineral product include
iodine,
copper, and
zinc. Again, look
for a product that provides 100 percent of the daily value of these minerals.
Calcium
is also important, but you'd need a huge tablet or capsule just to provide
100 percent of the daily value. If your diet doesn't provide enough calcium,
consider taking a separate calcium supplement. There are no established daily
values for the minerals selenium,
chromium,
manganese,
molybdenum,
chloride, nickel, tin, silicon,
vanadium,
and boron.
But most multivitamin/multimineral products contain these minerals in amounts
considered safe and adequate.
Most multivitamin/multimineral
products also contain
iron. While
everyone needs a small amount of iron every day, this is usually satisfied
by iron from foods. The 10 to 20 mg of iron in multivitamin/mineral products
can help to supplement the diet. Many people should not take iron supplements
in addition to the amounts in their multivitamin. On the other hand, people
with anemia and women of childbearing age (many of whom suffer from iron deficiency)
may benefit from extra iron.

Recommendations
The best way
to get the daily requirement of essential vitamins is to eat a balanced diet
that contains a variety of foods from the food guide pyramid.
Specific recommendations for each vitamin depend on age, gender, and other
factors (such as pregnancy).
Multivitamin/multimineral products offer inexpensive
"nutrition insurance" but aren't substitutes for a diet rich in fruits and
vegetables. Fruits and vegetables offer many nutrients not yet identified
that may well protect against cancer and heart disease--and no multivitamin/multimineral
products can provide you with them.
Check our Special Focus
section for your vitamins and supplements needs corresponding to the specific
categories.
