Multi Vitamins/mineral tablets

I know what it's like. "Eat healthy" they say.. But there's only so many hours in a day to prepare and consume food.
Personally I like to keep some Boost in the fridge for days where I'm late and have no time. It's essentially a multi-vitamin and an appetite suppressant all in one easy to drink on the go solution.
I also stock specific vitamins for colds and other illnesses but they are too expensive to depend on day-to-day. This is the best site I've found for discount vitamins. After shipping and such you'll only save a bit, so the best savings is really a proper diet.

Zinc puts extra lead in your pencil and it's cheaper than oysters (though not as nice.)

In 21 1/2 years of nursing I've never seen multi=vits used without a clear cut reason (premature babies, cyctic fibrosis etc).
Diet should meet the needs, assuming diet not overly restrictive.

Even if I keep a diet I try to take multivitamins. I found a good place where I can buy vitamins and minerals. Because I believe that taking vitamins helps me to stay healthy.

A lot of things are "supposed" to be good for you. This was on the news a couple of weeks back, they've been told to stop making health claims until they can prove it. Studies thus far have been ... let's be generous and say "inconclusive."

I take two smarties a day, looks similar, does as much good and tastes nicer. Im convinced that they prevent aids and cancer on the basis that I am free of either. If you dont believe me read Patrick Holford.
