  • Multivitamins For Baby Boomers: What Vitamins and Minerals To Take
  • Go Nuts With Vitamins, Minerals and Magnesium For a Holiday Snack
  • Try Vitamins and Minerals For Insomnia
    • ]]>     This helpful article provides a much-needed overview of vitamins and minerals, supplements, diet and how we get our nutrients.   It addresses questions like “Are supplements really necessary when you can get the nutrients through food?”   It also discusses whether vitamin and mineral pills are safe to consume.  It also provides examples of the different situations where you might need a vitamin or mineral supplement in addition to a healthy diet.  For example, breastfeeding women are sometimes advised to take calcium and iron supplements to reduce the chance of anemia and to continue building strong bones.

    Another example from the article:

    “Pregnant women or someone who is trying to conceive is advised to take supplements or prenatal especially with a minimum of 400mcg of folic acid in them. Folic acid is a B vitamin, which is mostly found in leafy green vegetables. Since it is not enough through the food alone, an extra dose of folic acid is preferred. It is believed that folic acid reduces the risk of neural tube defects such as spina bifida in newborn babies.”
