I talk to a number of people that no not take a quality nutritional multivitamin supplement. Many believe that we can get all we need from our diet...not so true. Many doctors recommend a multivitamin-mineral supplement because of the nutritional gaps in our diets...less than 20% of us even eat the recommended daily allowance of fruits and veggies. Even if you do eat according to the food guidelines, the food is not the quality that it use to be so we are unable to fill these needs by food alone. In addition, not all supplements are created equal and may do more harm than good. Vitamins and minerals are vital to proper cell health...cells make tissues, tissues make up organs, and organs make up organ systems. SO, you can see why taking a quality supplement can reap many health benefits and be a health insurance on its own. See the below links for some interesting details. Happy Nutrition!
