Most vitamins are ok as long as you take
them with food. Taken without food the
body only sees a foreign object stripped
from it's natural food source and either
doesn't absorb it, or takes from your body
what it needs to be able to digest it,
which kinda defeats the purpose.
The best kind of vitamin is a whole food
vitamin, which is just like eating healthy
and natural foods. They are completely
digestible and easy on your stomach.

Thank you for your idea. I think you said
quite right, but if age over 45 that maybe
need except food nutrition and need have
some extra things. I don't know I said
that is right? So I think I need choose a
brand nutriton pill. That reason is too
many brand nutrition pill, but which is
good and price is not too expensive, I
need some advice. If you can help I will
thank you very much.

The whole food vitamin that I'm talking
about, which I take, is called "Alive". I
guess it is a little pricey, but you don't
really need to take anything else unless
you have a specific condition that you
want to address. Besides that I get mine
off the internet at places like vitacost
and vitaminshoppe which have everything
deeply discounted over what you can get at
your brick and mortar health food store.
If you want to address a particular health
issue, it's best to address it with food
like you say, and supplements that are
higher in certain things are better than
taking a pill if you can help it....such
as spinach being high in iron.
Other than that, most vitamins are going
to be the same as far as brand
goes....just remember that you get what
you pay for and having "more fancy"
vitamins isn't necessarily better. If you
go to a health food store or even an
online store, there will be people there
who can help you choose something that
fits your age, health issues and
lifestyle, and additionally you can read
customer reviews online.
