multivitamins

We’ve been told since we were children that multivitamins are good for us and that they help us get all the daily vitamins we need. But is that true?

Popular over-the-counter supplements, including multivitamins, energy boosters and diet pills, send 23,000 Americans to the emergency room yearly with chest pain, heart palpitations, choking and other problems, according to the first large study to look at the products’ adverse effects.
