Question

Answer 1

Taking a good muliti-vitamin would help with your Vitamin C problem. If you aren't getting enough Vitamin C you are probably lacking in many other vitamins as well.

Answer 2

Hey there-- I am a holistic health counselor, and here's some insight--
Taking the pills certainly won't hurt you, but it will not substitute receiving the vitamins from food sources. Vitamins in food are digested by the whole body, whereas the pills you take will go into the bloodstream much faster making their effect dramatically less. Again, it won't hurt you so much but try and get more vitamin c from food via fruits and vegetables! hope this helps...
