Bone of Contention

If you're taking a vitamin A supplement, you may be putting your bones at

risk.

A recent study revealed that postmenopausal women who regularly took a

vitamin A supplement were 40% more likey to suffer a hip fracture compared

to women who did not take a vitamin A supplement. For proper amounts of

vitamin A, eat beta carotene-rich foods or take a daily multivitamin with

less than 8,000 IU of vitamin A.

RealAge Cost: Taking unnecessary vitamins and supplements can make your

RealAge as much as 1.7 years older.
