Do you take vitamins even if you eat healthy?

Answer 1

I have taken vitamins all my life because I do not believe we get enough of some of the vitamins we need in our food. Vitamins keep me healthy, I am rarely sick and very active for my age.

Answer 2

I used to, everyone I think can benefit. However you should take into consideration the effects of excess amounts of some things (such as iron) in your body before taking vitamins regularly. Also, if you eat a balanced diet, you may not even need them.
