What is the best multivitamin for a female in her 20's?

Question

Do brands matter? Also, which individual vitamins are a must to ensure optimal health?

Answer 1

Yes brands matter as you need a quality mulitvitamin that is well absorbed by the body. If you choose a brand that isn't well absorbed you won't be getting much of the vitamins and nutrition from it. You didn't mention what brand you currently take but if the brand you take now is one that is well absorbed by the body then there would be no need to switch vitamins. You will also want to take a good antioxidant supplement to help boost your immune system. Most store bought brands of vitamins are not absorbed well although a recent study that was in the news did show that centrum was one that the body absorbed well. To find out what essential vitamins are needed just go to the centrum website and look at the list they have for their vitamins and that would be a good start of what you need. Just don't forget to add a good antioxidant supplement to your daily routine too.

Answer 2

Vitamins are important for a woman in this age group. Any brand of regular multivitamin should be enough, but many vitamin should be found with their sources in natural foods.
For a woman in her twenties, she should be getting plenty of calcuim, iron, and folic acid. These will prepare her to give birth to children, and replenish minerals lost by menstruation.

For women, I would say that an OTC pre-natal vitamin would be the best...you can find these in the vitamin section.
