• Many people supplement their diets with vitamins,
  and they can be extremely helpful. In fact, in
  the UK, the government recommends that all adults
  take a vitamin D supplement, as we dont get
  enough sunlight. In this respect, they can be
  essential. However, taking the wrong vitamins, or
  taking a does that is too high, can lead to
  problems. Its important that you understand how
  to maximise the benefits and minimise the risks.
  Thats what were going to teach you below.
•  
• Do You Need to Take Vitamins?
• As long as you eat consistently and have a varied
  diet, you shouldnt need to supplement your diet
  with vitamins. However, this isnt always the
  case. We already described how those of us in the
  UK dont receive adequate sunlight and so need to
  supplement with vitamin D.

• If you think that you need to take a particular
  vitamin, or you simply wonder if you should be
  taking any at all, just visit your GP and they
  will be able to advise you about establishing any
  vitamin deficiencies.
•  
• Does It Matter If You Take Vitamins When You
  Dont Need Them?
• This actually depends on the vitamin that you are
  taking. Some vitamins simply flush through the
  system when you take too much. Vitamin C does
  that, for instance. This is why some people call
  vitamins very expensive urine.
•  
• However, the body absorbs some vitamins, even if
  the body already has adequate stocks. These can
  be problematic. Again, if youre worried about a
  particular vitamin, then talk to your doctor.

• Does The Brand of Vitamins Matter?
• It is important that you stick to the same brand
  when buying vitamins, because different brands
  use different filler agents (the things that keep
  the tablets/capsules together, and which are part
  of all oral medicines too). This can have two
  different effects
•  
• It could contain something you're allergic too.
  For example, if you have celiac disease the
  tablets may contain vegan. To prevent problems,
  choose a product such as Biocare products, which
  have a No Allergen label.
•  
• Different fillers affect the way the body absorbs
  the vitamin. Some make it harder for the body to
  absorb, and some make it easier. When you choose
  your product, you should wait a month or two to
  see how you feel. If theres no improvement, then
  change products and see what happens. Once youve
  found a brand that works, stick with it. Using a
  high quality, well-known brand like Biocare
  products will often circumvent this particular
  issue. They are popular because they work.

• Finally, some vitamin suppliers use salt in their
  tablets if the tablets fizz, theyre likely to
  have a high salt content. If you need to avoid
  salt in your diet, then you will need to double
  check the ingredients.
•  
• Some Final Advice
• Its important that you do not take vitamins that
  will cause you problems. For example, some people
  with high cerebral spinal fluid pressure cannot
  take supplements with vitamin A. For this reason,
  it is very important that you speak to your
  doctor before embarking on a treatment plan.
