Multivitamins - do they *really* help?

[Guest guest]

I've often read that it's particularly important for PWCs to

supplement with a good multivitamin + bioflavonoidsand it really does

make sense to do so to optimise health. I think they do help even if

we don't really notice much difference.

I just started taking a yeast, corn, wheat, dairy-product free multi

by Solgar. I was wondering:

* Did anyone notice visible improvement from taking multivitamins?

* What are some good brands over there? Solgar's pretty high grade

brand isn't it?

* What brand/type did you guys that have taken multis most like?

My has iron and copper because I couldn't find a good multi without them.

Thanx & good health to all,

a

I take GNC's Ultra Mega Gold without iron. Have been taking two a day

for years, and am very happy with them. They're very well balanced,

and seem to be quite complete.

I notice the difference when I take one instead of two, which

suggests they're doing *something* worthwhile.

I certain can tell the difference! I have tried several brands over the years.

And, toward the beginning, I stopped taking them for awhile. At that time the

main difference I noted was the amount of gray in my hair. When I resumed taking

them, the gray receded. I understand that is the effect of the b-complex.

Now I am using a brand called Propax with NT Factor, and the difference in my

energy level changes if I skip it for a few meals.

I highly recommend it.

They do seem quite balanced (googled it:)). Hadn't heard of that brand.

Thanks, Sara
