life extension has some great multivitamin/mineral tablets…my friend is now 70, he takes them, and looks about 45 or 50. Taking poorly mixed amounts of vitamins and minerals is not good either, so if your going to take something, I’d do life extension. There is a lot of research and study necessary for you to know what they know about relationships and interrelationships, there is no B vitamin on the market with enough folic acid in it…and they can increase your need for the ones undersupplied and actually cause a deficiency. If you are deficient in folic acid you will know because you will get out of breath when you walk up stairs…and larger amounts can only be got by prescription or in Canada…it s in leafy green vegetables. Not that it’s dangerous, unless your a strict vegetarian, and you don’t take your B-12, and get pernicious anemia, and are taking folic acid, folic acid will mask the symptoms of pernicious anemia, so they took it away from all of us in any amounts will do anything, and is very bad for the babies to be undersupplied on this vitamin. Also a lot of multivitamin/mineral have iron in them, which I am totally against…since it destroys your vitamin E which protects your vitamin A and constipates you…they trying to get us used to doctors telling us take vitamins cuz they want to make them by perscrition only, therefore getting all the money and having us depend on our health 100% on doctors…itsbig now doctors telling everyone they need vitamin D-3, doctors have no training in nutrition, ie, how foods are broken down in your body and how the nutrients are used to make and keep you young and healthy, and if they are taught this, the schools lose their grants..ask your doc what training he had in this! lol.if you want to learn about it easy and fun buy a used copy of lets eat right to keep fit, by Adelle Davis…she saved my life when the doctors couldn’t and I have lived off her information without going to doctors for 33 years, except once when I had to have surgery…she also wrote lets get well, both fully documented, lets eat right to keep fit telling you why, lets get well telling you what to do…their so fascinating I couldn’t set them down till I read them3 times and took notes from them twice! My girlfriend raised her children on the information (supplied by me!) lol, and never had to take them to the doctors, we even stopped a nosebleed that was real bad in 4 minutes!! Sorry, I know this is more than you asked for, But Adelle Davis inspired a passion in me, changed my life forever for the better, and there is so much to learn about this, one sentence, could barely tell you anything! Good luck, here’s to your health! and that you live forever! If you can find the question just above… she wants to go to counselling, for cutting herself, and her mom wants her to take vitamins…I copied some of the first paragraph of Adelle’s book for her, its so neat! in my answer.
