Vitamins?...?

Question

If I wanted to take vitamin supplements but do not want to take a multi vitamin, which vitamins should I take and how many milligrams per each?

Answer 1

This question is a little vague as to what your needs are but there are some basic vitamins humans strive on.

Vitamin C-Immune system support, water soulble. So therefore take the recommended dosage 200-400mg. Otherwise it dosent really matter because you pee it out, no such thing as taking to much vitamin C.

Calcium-Healthy Bone support, too much calcium can cause kidney stones so each age group should take different amounts

0 to 6 months 210 mg
7 - 12 months 270 mg
1 to 3 years 500 mg
4 to 8 years 800 mg
9 to 18 years 1300 mg
19 to 50 years 1000 mg
51+ years 1200 mg

Vitamin D- Vitamin D is needed to absorb the calcium you are taking, vitamin D is fat souble. Research Suggest that vitamin D supposrts healthy Cell growth and is good for your immune system.

Vitamin A-Supports healthy blood and muscles, promotes healthy lining around the eye. Fat souble

Vitamin B- Complex 12 vitamins all water souble Vitamin B1, (Thiamine)
Vitamin B2, (Riboflavin)
Vitamin B3, also Vitamin P or Vitamin PP (Niacin)
Vitamin B5, (Pantothenic acid)
Vitamin B6, (Pyridoxine and Pyridoxamine)
Vitamin B7, also Vitamin H (Biotin)
Vitamin B9, also Vitamin M and Vitamin B-c (Folic acid) – important for pregnancies
Vitamin B12, (Cyanocobalamin)

Otherwise every vitamin is necessary in your everyday life, most healthiest when absorbed through food. If you must pills are often a healthy alterntive.

good luck

Answer 2

all depends on your diet. Best to take the things you lack in diet, and the amount you need again depends on how much you already get. A multi vitamin I find the best bet, with a couple other things that I need, such as calcium, and Iron, as I am not a huge milk drinker, and tend to have low iron.

Answer 3

Most women need extra calcuim, vitamin c, and iron. I just dont see how you cant get by without taking a multivitamin. I would say at least 500 milligrams.

Answer 4

you should just eat correctly then you wouldn't need to take the easy way out and use vitamins.

Answer 5
