There are a lot of multivitamins out there- and since these supplements are not regulated by any government agency, buyers must beware! Follow these simple rules when choosing and taking a multivitamin.

• Look for a product WITHOUT herbs or other mysterious ingredients- stick to vitamins and minerals only

• Pass on products with vitamin and mineral MEGA doses — 100-200% of the daily value is all you need

• Always take your multivitamin with a meal – this will help avoid stomach upset and nutrients will be absorbed more efficiently
