Weed out the junk from the good stuff when picking a multivitamin..
Warning.
Speak to a physician before starting to take a vitamin of any kind..
Step 1: Select form.
Narrow down your choices based on how you would like to ingest your vitamin: in powder form, capsule, tablet, or liquid..
Step 2: Choose dosage.
Further narrow down your selection by deciding how often you would like to take a vitamin: a single daily dose or spread out throughout the day..
Step 3: Check essential vitamins.
Make sure it provides at least 100 percent of the eight essential vitamins: thiamine or B-1, riboflavin or B-2, niacin or B-3, B-6, B-12, D, E, and folic acid..
Step 4: Confirm vitamin A & C.
Check that it contains some vitamin A and vitamin C..
Tip.
Too much vitamin A has been found to increase hip fracture when over 4300 incremental units are taken daily; and too much vitamin C may cause an upset stomach and/or diarrhea..
Step 5: Check mineral level.
Check mineral levels. It should provides at least 50% of your daily chromium, copper, magnesium, selenium, and zinc..
Tip.
Magnesium can be obtained from whole-grains and may not require supplementation..
Step 6: Separate calcium.
Don’t worry about getting calcium in your multivitamin it’s better taken separately, as the daily recommended levels are too large to be contained a single pill..
Step 7: Avoid too much phosphorus.
Avoid multivitamins with too much phosphorus, which we get plenty of in our diets..
Step 8: Consider iron.
If you’re a woman, vegetarian, or have been diagnosed as anemic, select a multivitamin that contains iron in ferrous form, which is most readily absorbed..
Tip.
If your multivitamin contains iron, take it with a piece of fruit. Not only can it cause intestinal discomfort on an empty stomach, but the fruit’s vitamin C will help it absorb..
Step 9: Compare prices.
Compare prices and remember that you’re shopping for a daily multivitamin, which can add up..
Tip.
Cheaper multivitamins may contain fillers such as starches and silica, while expensive multivitamins tend to be more pure..
Step 10: Confirm quality.
Only purchase quality-guaranteed or laboratory-tested multivitamins..
Step 11: Take regularly.
Now that you’ve chosen your multivitamin, make sure you take it regularly..
Did You Know?
In 1747, Scottish naval surgeon James Lind discovered that a nutrient in citrus foods now known as vitamin C prevented scurvy.

Should Kids Take Vitamins | What Age Do Children Need Vitamins | Best Baby Vitamins | Multi vitamins For Children | Do Breastfed Babies Need Vitamins | Healthy Start Vitamin Drops.
Hey guys! This weeks video is all about vitamin supplements for children and why you should be giving them to children aged six months to five years..
I was quite shocked when I recently read research that was presented at the Welsh Paediatric Society autumn clinical meeting. Researchers in Wales found only 30% of parents and carers said they had ever been given advice by a health professional about giving young children vitamin supplements. And nearly two-thirds (64%) of those asked said they didn’t give their children vitamin supplements..
DO CHILDREN NEED VITAMINS?
The Department of Health (DoH) recommends all children aged 6 months to 5 years should be given supplements containing vitamins A, C and D every day..
This advice has been in existence since the early 1990s, when it was endorsed by the then committee on medical aspects of food policy..
However If your child is having 500ml or more of infant formula a day, they do not need any children’s vitamin supplements as infant formula is fortified..
Vitamins and minerals are essential for children’s good health,.
Vitamin A: for growth, vision in dim light and healthy skin.
Vitamin C: helps maintain healthy tissue in the body.
Vitamin D: for strong bones and teeth..
Growing children may not get enough of these vitamins especially those not eating a varied diet..
Breastfed babies from birth to one year of age should be given a daily supplement containing 8.5-10mcg of vitamin D to make sure they get enough. Please speak to your midwife about this if you’re not already doing this..
