There are many types and combinations of supplements available and, as a consumer it can be very difficult to know which ones you actually should be taking and which you don’t really need.
Registered Dietician Linda Drummond explains how to go about choosing the right supplements:
“The need for a multivitamin or a mineral supplement depends on the quality of your diet and your specific requirements for certain nutrients. If you are eating a wide variety of foods that contain a number of different nutrients, you may not need a supplement to help you meet your needs. However, if your diet is unlikely to be providing you with what you need, a supplement may be necessary.”
