Multivitamins 101

“Most of us have a hard time getting the recommended nutrition from foods we eat each day, so a multivitamin makes sense to fill in any gaps. For best absorption, choose a powdered or gel form without sugar, preservatives or artificial coloring, and split the daily dose to take half in the morning and half in the evening. Take your multivitamin with a fat-containing meal, too, to maximize absorption and minimize any stomach discomfort,” says Dana Neacsu, MD, Medical Creations Integrative Medicine.
