Vitamins Are Supplements Acceptable by:Bob Benson

In a perfect world, children wouldn't balk at eating a perfectly balanced diet and

adults would have the time to create that menu for themselves and the children in their lives. Unfortunately, we live in the real world and perfection is more than a little distance away. So what about those vitamins we need? The alternative to a perfect diet is a regular regimen of vitamin supplements.

Before you grab up the latest, cutest, most expensive or cheapest vitamins you can find, take a minute to evaluate what it is that you expect to accomplish. Start by carefully evaluating your typical daily food intake.

Take a count of the foods you eat over a period of a few days. You may find that you're getting sufficient amounts of most vitamins simply through your diet. Even a less-than-healthy diet overall may be offset by certain habits - drinking significant quantities of Vitamin D fortified milk, for example. If you typically drink at least two cups of milk each day, you're probably getting the Vitamin D recommended for a normal, healthy adult.

But what if you realize that you really aren't getting the vitamins you need? Then it's time to add a vitamin supplement, but you should be smart about it. For most children and adults who aren't getting the recommended daily allowances of vitamins, a very general vitamin is probably your best bet. There are plenty of options out there and it really becomes a matter of personal choice. If the kids like some particular brand better than others, that brand is probably fine. Just be sure that it's providing recommended daily allowances of the top vitamins needed by children.

The same is true of adults, though it tends to be the claims of the manufacturer that grabs the attention rather than the fact that the vitamins are in the shape of a cartoon character. Be wary of any vitamin brand when the manufacturer makes incredible claims. There's no doubt that having sufficient vitamin intake on a daily basis will make you feel better, but there's also no doubt that vitamins aren't going to turn back the clock, give you the vitality of a toddler and make all your aches and pains go away. Be smart about it. Read the back of the bottle to find out what vitamins are actually packed into that little pill. You may be surprised to find the ingredients of the cheapest store brand and those incredibly expensive vitamins are exactly the same.
