It is much better to get your vitamins through food.  However, it is difficult for some people to get enough of some vitamins and minerals, especially calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B 12, through food.  Discuss this with your doctor.

YES! They are all pretty mcuh the same thing, just some will say Muti-Vitamin with Iron or with Calcium. If you need an extra boost in something you can take one of those. But a regular Multi-Vitamin is fine.

GNC's Women's UltraMEga is a good one.  Has all the vitamins in regular multis plus ones that are good for women like folic acid. Maybe you could also take an iron supplement too, but I would ask your doctor before you do that, especially if you start taking a multivitamin with iron already in it.

Since vitamins supplements are not difficult to digest, I think their absorptions are like medicines, about 1-2 hours after intake. Drink lots of water and swallow them while standing to allow them to be effective faster, I think.Normally, its advisable to take vitamins supplements in the morning or the least, in the afternoon and also after food.If you take them in the evening, some may make you awake too long, especially the Vit.Bs which are supposed to keep you alert, thus making you unable to sleep during bed-time.Remember to take supplement after food to avoid unnecessary side effects, like for example, Vit C is quite acidic and if not taken with food may make your stomach acidic and gastritis may develope.As an added info, I read in a medical journal, always take Vit C and calcium with food to avoid kidney-stones.Drinking milk is still the best, but preferably, low fat milk.

What if I mistakenly take two prenatal vitamins on the same day?\n\nDon't worry. Taking twice the recommended amounts of these nutrients on just one day won't harm you or your baby. But doing that more often can be harmful, so it's important not to make a habit of doubling up on your prenatal supplements. If for some reason your caregiver has told you that you need more of a certain nutrient (iron or calcium, for example) than is in your prenatal vitamin, take the extra amount as a separate supplement.\n\nMultivitamins are designed to give you what you need daily, and getting an extra dose of everything in them is definitely not better. Vitamin A is not the only nutrient you can get too much of if you regularly take extra doses.

Chemical multivitamins like Centrum dont do much good. Our body absorbs natural substances better.\nLook of good natural/herbal multivitamin supplements manufactured by reputable companies. They will be pricier than Centrum for sure (you have to pay for health)\nThen take the nutrition info to your health care professional / nutritionist and check out according to your requirements and current medications/special conditions/allergies before taking.

no you are better off eating a balanced diet. Only take the supplements if you checked with your doctor first. If you take too many and too much,then you may notbe able to fight off illnesses  when the time comes.

Lots of studies are showing you can over do it with vitamins.  Any over the counter multi-vitamin should be fine but there's no need to get carried away with it.  Eat the right things and you don't need them at all.  By the way, always eat to digest vitamins or most of them won't have time to get into your body before they're gone.

Apply vitamin E (capsule) on your face about once a day and take 16000 IU of Vitamin A, 400 IU of Vitamin E, and a Vitamin B-Complex.

Vitamins generally give the person who take's them more energy.  It is best to take vitamins in the morning when you wake up because if you take them at night you may have trouble sleeping depending on the vitamins you take.\n\nHope this helps

Never trust any vitamins. They do come with all they say but nothing happens. If you want to stay healthy...............eat fruits or veggies and stay out of Junkfood.

B vitamins are good for the nervous system. There are several, that is why it is called B complex, ribiflavin, thiamine, folic acid, B6, B12 niacin, \n\nTry for a varied diet with lots of vegetables, but a vitamin pill would not hurt. B vitamins are water soluble and you will pee out any extra your body does not want.

You don't need a prescription for vitamins. However, if you are taking prescription medications it would be wise to discuss any over-the-counter pills you may be taking, including vitamins.
