Several months back, my parents signed up with a multi-level marketing program for vitamins. I've taken high dose mutli-vitamins and I personally don't like vitamins, they make feel a little iffy. However, let's be clear, I have nothing against vitamins. I have a problem with the amount of each vitamin/mineral a person gets each time they take an over the counter tablet, as well as how much they cost.
In lieu of the high expense tablet, I would rather people do the following: eat your fresh leafy greens (the darker the better), fruits, vegetables which aren't cooked to mush (which by the way should never be smothered in cheese), and lean proteins.
However, if you still feel like you're lacking, a multi-vitamin makes excellent sense, but, watch out for the dosage/percentage of daily allowance being provided by each vitamin/mineral. What our bodies cannot absorb get funneled out and well, that output can be expensive over time. I'm generally fond of taking 1/2 of what the manufacturer recommends (generally I do eat balanced meals). You'll keep up on your vitamins/minerals and well ... you might save a couple of dollars while still feeling great.
